Provides information regarding the preparation of CVD materialsCovers SiC, Si3N4, and BN, as well as other carbides, borides, and nitridesIncludes practical information on fiber coatings for compositesContains 91 figures and 11 tables Chemical Vapor Deposited Materials presents a concise description of the preparation, structure, and properties of some of the most important CVD materials needed in the development of high temperature technology. Topics covered include SiC, Si3N4, and BN, as well as other carbides, borides, and nitrides. The author incorporates information from the literature with data from his own experience, which makes the book useful for improving tool bits, increasing the wear resistance of materials, and increasing the oxidation resistance and toughness of composite materials. Researchers, scientists, and students involved in the preparation of CVD materials will find this book to be a valuable companion in their work.
