Abstract

The combination of focused ion beam (FIB) micro-processing and the lift-out technique using the micro pick-up system was applied to the preparation of TEM specimens of irradiated SiC/SiC composites. The deformation caused by microstructural evolution was observed in the pyrolitic carbon interphase, and several helium bubbles and cavities were detected in the CVI matrix.
