The thermal and electrical conductivities, fracture strength, swelling, and microstructure of sintered alpha-phase SiC and siliconized reaction-bonded SiC materials were studied before and after irradiation with reactor neutrons. The effects of helium gas on the properties were studied using boron enriched in /sup 10/B to produce helium from /sup 10/B(n,..cap alpha..)/sup 7/Li. The decrease in thermal conductivity after irradiation is due to enhanced phonon scattering by radiation-induced defects. Electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties exhibit partial recovery after heat treatment to 1000 to 1500 K. An overall consistency is observed in radiation-produced property changes and annealing and a model is presented to explain the changes.
