SiC-based fibers, a key component for the reinforcement of thermostructural ceramic matrix composites, are subjected to subcritical crack growth (SCG) causing their delayed failure. Stress exponents <10 were reported for various fiber types, standing out from other types of ceramic or glass. The continuum of silicon oxycarbide (SiCO) and carbon free phases is suspected to govern the environmentally assisted crack growth phenomenon, highlighted by relationships between SCG parameters and oxygen or carbon free contents. Metallic heteroelements (Ti or Zr, found in Tyranno® fibers) play a critical role on this sensitivity as well. The existence of 2 distinct groups of fiber types, possibly associated to different SCG mechanisms, is discussed.< Leer menos
