Abstract

A sintered, polycrystalline SiC fiber has been characterized by TEM and EELS. The fibers consist primarily of alpha-SiC (6H-polytype) with a mean grain size on the order of approximately 1 mu m. Poorly organized turbostratic carbon is located within porous regions between some grain boundaries and triple junctions of the SiC. In addition, 100 nm spherical boron carbide precipitates are observed intra-granularly within the SiC grains. These precipitates have a rhombohedral crystal structure with an approximate stoichiometry of B4C.
