The decrease of modulus of composites may be due to matrix cracking, fiber fracture and interface debonding. When C/SiC composites were cooled from high temperature to low temperature, the tension stress on the surface and the compressive stress in the interior are created by the thermal gradient, which causes the matrix cracks on the surface of composites. High strength fibers hindered the propagation of matrix cracks, and the mechanical degradation was reduced by crack deflection and crack bridging. Therefore, the bonding between fiber and matrix should be weak enough in order to make the fiber and matrix debond and the cracks deflect around fibers. Otherwise, the matrix cracks will propagate into the fibers and reduce the strength of the composites. A C-interface exists between the C-fibers and SiC matrix, with a thickness of about 0.3 mm (Fig. 4), which ensures the weak bonding between C fibers and SiC Fig. 5.
