Abstract
Abstract A METHOD FOR SURFACE NITRIDING BORON FILAMENTS TO MAKE THE FILAMENTS USEFUL AS REINFORCEMENT AGENTS IN COMPOSITE MATERIALS. THE METHOD INVOLVES INITIALLY FORMING A LIQUID BORON OXIDE COATING ON THE FILAMENT, FOR EXAMPLE, BY HEATING THE FILAMENT AT TEMPERATURES OF FROM ABOUT 560*C. TO 800*C. IN AN OXIDIZING ATMOSPHERE AND THEN CONVERTING THE LIQUID OXIDE COATING TO A SOLID, CONTINUOUS BORON NITRIDE COATING BY, FOR EXAMPLE, HEATING THE FILAMENT AT TEMPERATURES OF FROM ABOUT 600*C. TO 1100*C. IN A NITROGENCONTAINING ATMOSPHERE.
