Effects of different fabrication conditions, with or without hydrogen, on the bonding state and the matrix microstructure were investigated. In-situ hydrogenation method was found to larpely improve the interface bonding of the composite, and full consolidation could be achieved at 750 or even 700° C more than 100°C lower than the normal fabrication temperature of Ti/SiC composite, which consequently reduced the interfacial reaction layer between Ti matrix and SiC fiber. Different hydrogenation condition led to different matrix microstructure.
