Abstract

AbstractThe current study focuses on the role of composition in the oxidation behavior of three commercial SiC fibers (Hi‐Nicalon Type S (HNS), Tyranno ZMI, and Tyranno SA) in a steam‐containing environment at 1000°C. Oxide scales that form on each of the three fiber types differ in morphology, microstructure, and composition. Differences are attributed to O and C contents, crystallinity, and minor alloying elements. Oxidation kinetics of the HNS fibers follow linear/parabolic (Deal–Grove) predictions over the entire range of exposure times (to 96 h). In the other fibers, deviations from the initial linear/parabolic trend occur when either the scale crystallizes in situ during oxidation (as on the ZMI fibers) or when structural changes internal to the fiber alter the chemical environment at the scale/fiber interface (on the SA fibers). Adaptations of the linear/parabolic oxidation model are used to rationalize the growth kinetics in the latter two cases. Collectively, the data and analyses indicate a two‐fold difference in permeabilities of crystalline and amorphous silica scales. Inferred interface reaction rates further suggest faster oxidation for fibers with greater amounts of amorphous Si–O–C. Moreover, crystalline scales are more prone to cracking, because of their higher viscosity at elevated temperatures and a deleterious phase transformation upon cooling.
