Abstract:

The base plane of graphite crystallite was proposed as the surface model of pyrocarbon prepared in chemical vapor infil-tration (CVI) processes. The Particle-Filler(P-F) model and Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) mechanism of CVI processes were applied to simulate the texture formation in the process of pyrocarbon growth using the Monte Carlo (MC) method, and the process of textural interface formation was studied. The results showed that the texture formation mechanism of pyrocarbon deposition presented an S-shape curve with bi-stability transition by variation of the ration of C6 species to C2 species in the gas phase. Moreover, there was a hysteresis in the bi-stability transition of pyrocarbon textures, and the hysteresis was clearly influenced by the composition of the gas-phase species.
