METHOD FOR DENSIFYING POROUS SILICON CARBIDE BASE

摘要

Disclosed is a densified silicon carbide body which has excellent mechanical strength. The densified silicon carbide body is able to be obtained by a method for densifying a porous silicon carbide base, said method comprising a step in which a porous silicon carbide base is impregnated with a curable silicone composition that contains a silicon carbide powder, then the composition is cured therein, and then the cured product is thermally decomposed in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. Consequently, the porous silicon carbide base is able to be easily densified and modified.
