The composites achieved the highest mechanical performance when the Ti 3 SiC 2 content was the highest. The high-temperature oxidation results indicated that even after 100 h of oxidation at 1300°C, the bending strength of the composite material can still maintain 83% of its initial strength compared to other composites. This may be due to the formation of SiO 2 and TiO 2 oxide layers by partial oxidation of Ti 3 SiC 2 in the matrix, which will protect the composite material from further oxidation.","PeriodicalId":18232,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147907455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
