Youngs Modulus Evaluation and Thermal Shock Behavior of a Porous SiC/cordierite Composite Material

Abstract

Porous SiC/Cordierite Composite Material with graphite content (10%) was synthesized. Evaluation of Young modulus of elasticity and thermal shock behavior of these samples was presented. Thermal shock behavior was monitored using water quench test, and non destructive methods such are UPVT and image analysis were also used for accompaniment the level of destruction of the samples during water quench test. Based on the level of destruction graphical modeling of critical number of cycles was given. This approach was implemented on discussion of the influence of the graphite content on thermal stability behavior of the samples.
