Mixture of green petroleum coke, B4 C and SiC together with short carbon fiber were employed as starting materials, the mixture was press formed without any binder after grinding, dense and homogeneous binderless SiC-B4 C-C(carbon/ceramic) composites were then obtained after sintering. Composites thus prepared possess excellent anti-oxidation property, that is, mass loss less than IG within the temperature range from 900 to 1 100 ℃ for 10 h. Anti-oxidation mechanism was also discussed from the viewpoint of thermodynamics, excellent anti-oxid...
