Abstract
The effect of partial pressure and temperature on the oxidation rate of low-oxygen silicon carbide fiber (Hi-Nicalon) has been investigated. The initial oxidation rate was described by a two-dimensional disc contracting formula for reaction control, and the activation energy was 155 kJ/mol. The rate at the later stage of oxidation obeyed the equation for diffusion control, and the activation energy was 109 kJ/mol. Both the rate constants were proportional to oxygen partial pressure. The diffusion species through the SiO2 film are considered to be oxygen molecules.
