  • Patent number: 11220465
    Abstract: A method for producing SiC/SiC composite material according to the present invention includes impregnating a substrate with a slurry containing particles of a flaky lubricant to obtain an impregnated body, drying out a solvent of the slurry from the impregnated body, forming an interface layer on surfaces of the SiC fibers by bending the impregnated body, and transferring the particles of the flaky lubricant to the surfaces of the SiC fibers while stretching the particles, and forming a SiC matrix inside the substrate on which the interface layer is formed. Since a thin interface layer of the flaky lubricant can be formed on the surfaces of the SiC fibers by transferring the flaky lubricant to the surfaces of the SiC fibers, the interface layer reaching inside of the substrate can be easily formed.
