SEM, EDS and XRD were performed to analyze the composites before and after erosion. The results indicate that a U shape relationship curve presents between the erosion rates and Al content, and the lowest erosion rate occurs at 40 wt% Al. Except for the important influence of compactness, the increasing soft Al mixed with reactive SiC, namely the mixture located between carbon and residual Si also, plays a key role in the erosion of the C/C-SiC composites through crack deflection, plastic deformation and bonding cracked Si.

1 Introduction C/C-SiC composites have great potential in many fields due to their low density, high strength, good wear resistance and outstanding thermal stability [1−5]. They can be used as housings and structural elements for optical systems [6], throat insert or nozzle [7], turbine engine blade [8], piston of internal combustion engine [9], brake disc of high speed or heavy vehicles [10], armor [11] and so on. In service, they will be damaged by space debris, un-burnt particles, fine sand, fragments and other solid particles. In other word, the strength and

lifespan of corresponding structural component would be weakened drastically by the particle flow. For example, the life of helicopter rotor blade decreased to 1/8 designed by solid particle erosion [12] and ablation rate of the composites in particle erosion environment was much higher than that without particle erosion [13, 14]. Up to now, particle erosion of polymer matrix composites [15], metal [16] and ceramic [17] has been greatly studied. However, to our best knowledge, few papers can be found on the erosion of the C/C-SiC composites induced by particle flow. It has been found that both more SiC and fewer pores are beneficial for the anti-erosion of C/C
