In this study, we converted renewable rice husk into SiC whiskers and added them to low-
carbon MgO–C refractories to investigate their effect on the structure, thermomechanical …

This research focuses on the utilization of SiC whiskers synthesized from rice husk powders
in low-carbon magnesia–carbon (MgO–C) refractories, and attempts to reduce the flake …

Refractory containing Cr 2 O 3 was widely used in solid waste gasifier due to its excellent
slag resistance. However, hexavalent chrome compounds (formed during the preparation …

Ceramic-matrix or metal-matrix composites have become of great interest because of their
high-temperature strength retention as well as thermal stress resistance coupled with light …

A high-strength SiC composite with SiC whiskers (SiC w) as reinforcement has been
fabricated by liquid silicon infiltration (LSI) using pyrolyzed rice husks (RHs) as raw material …

Corundum–mullite–SiC composites were synthesised using a carbothermal reduction
method. The effects of SiC nanoparticles and sintering temperatures on the phase …

Highly crystalline, high-purity β-SiC whiskers were successfully synthesised from a mixed
sol of coal fly ash (CFA) and water glass (a silicon resource), and activated carbon (a carbon …

In this paper, we report the synthesis of SiC whiskers by the carbothermal reduction of a
mixture of rice husk (RH) and coconut shell (CS). Addition of polycarbosilane (PCS) to the …

SiC whisker reinfored carbide-based composites were fabricated by a reactive infiltration
method by using Si as the infiltrate. Rice husks (RHs) were pyrolyzed to SiC whiskers …

SiC whisker reinforced MoSi 2 composite has been successfully fabricated by hot-press
sintering from “chemical oven” combustion synthesized powder. After sintering, a uniform …
