Abstract
A method includes forming an article from a silicon-rich refractory mixture. The silicon-rich refractory mixture includes a silicon-rich silicon carbide preceramic polymer and a silicon carbide powder. The method includes heating the preform to pyrolyze the silicon-rich silicon carbide preceramic polymer and form a silicon-rich refractory material. The silicon-rich refractory material includes the silicon carbide powder and excess silicon in a silicon carbide matrix. The method further includes heating the silicon-rich refractory material to oxidize at least a portion of the excess silicon and form a reinforced refractory material. The reinforced refractory material includes a silicon dioxide phase at grain boundaries of the silicon carbide powder.
