The additives affected the rate of densification and crystallization (or transformation) of the amorphous silica. Among the compositions, pure silica ceramics sintered at 900°C for 1 h showed the maximum flexural strength. Based on the results, SiO2/SiO2f was fabricated by a repeated vacuum-assisted infiltration method followed by the heat treatment at 900°C for 1 h. The relative density of the composite was 78.2% with a flexural strength of 22.4 MPa. Fractography revealed that the composite was damaged by strong bonding at the fiber/matrix interface and the fracture of fiber.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Effect of Additives on the Densification Processes and Properties of Silica-Based CMCs}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/108038/PDF/AMM-2018-3-58-Seok-Young%20Ko.pdf}, doi={10.24425/123835}, keywords={Ceramic matrix composite (CMC), Silica, densification, mechanical properties}, }
