A dense SiC/Ti3Si(Al)C2composite was synthesized by in situ hot pressing powders of Si, TiC and Al as a sintering additive at 1500°C for 2h under 30MPa in Ar atmosphere. This composite has a fine-grained and homogeneous microstructure with grain sizes of 5μm for Ti3Si(Al)C2and of 1μm for SiC. The SiC/Ti3Si(Al)C2composite possesses an improved oxidation resistance, with parabolic rate constants of 4.57×10−8kg2/m4/s at 1200°C and 1.31×10−7kg2/m4/s at 1300°C. This study provides an experimental evidence to confirm the formation of amorphous phases in the oxide scale of the SiC/Ti3Si(Al)C2composite. Microstructure and phase composition of the SiC/Ti3Si(Al)C2composite and oxide scales were identified by X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy. The mechanism for the enhanced oxidation resistance has been discussed.
