Ceramic matrix composites with Sylramic TM and CG Nicalon TM SiC fibers and SiC‐HfB 2 matrices derived from a combination of polymer‐derived SiC ceramic and HfB 2 particulate slurries were prepared. The composites were tested for oxidation resistance by laser heating at 2 MW/m 2 to achieve temperatures near 1600°C. The oxidation resistance was compared between uncoated CG Nicalon TM and BN ‐coated Sylramic TM fiber‐based composites. Oxidation resulted in precipitated nano‐sized HfO 2 independent of the fibers and fiber coatings.
