The lifetimes in air as a function of applied flexure stress and temperature (300-1150 degrees C) are described for a Si-O-C based (Nicalon) fiber plain-weave cloth reinforced SiC-matrix composite (similar to 7% closed porosity) with an similar to 0.3 mu m thick carbon interfacial layer. The measured lifetimes of both samples with and without an external SiC seal coating were similar and decreased with applied flexural stress (for stresses greater than -90 MPa) and with temperature. At temperatures of greater than or equal to 600 degrees C, the external CVD SIC coating had negligible effect on the lifetimes; however, at 425 degrees C, a detectable improvement in the lifetime was observed with an external SiC coating. When the applied stress was decreased below an apparent "threshold stress" (e.g., similar to 90 MPa) for tests conducted at temperatures less than or equal to 950 degrees C, no failures were observed for times of greater than or equal to 1000 h, Electron microscopy observations show that the interfacial carbon layer is progressively removed during tests at 425 degrees and 600 degrees C, In these cases, failure is associated with fiber failure and pullout. At 950 degrees and 1150 degrees C, the carbon interface layer is eliminated and replaced by a thick silica layer due to the oxidation of the Nicalon fiber and the SiC matrix. This results in embrittling the composite.
