SiCf/SiC composites with the polycarbosilane and silicon carbide fiber of different pyrolytic carbon (PyC) interphase thicknesses as the reinforcement phase were fabricated by a polymer impregnation and pyrolysis (PIP) method. And SiC whisker was introduced into the SiCf/SiC composites to further improve its performance. It is found that the mechanical properties of SiCf/SiC composites have outstanding tensile strength, fracture toughness and flexural strength of 192.3 MPa, 446.9 MPa and 11.4 MPa·m1/2,, when the PyC interphase thickness is about 230 nm. After the introduction of SiC whisker, into the SiCf/SiC composite matrix, the toughening mechanisms such as whisker pull-out, whisker bridging and crack deflection increase the energy consumption when the crack is transferred in the matrix, and the fracture toughness and bending strength of the composite are increased by 22.9% and 9.1% respectively.
