    Abstract
    The biomorphic silicon carbide (bioSiC) is an alternative to the expensive commercial silicon carbide by using wood waste from the furniture industry which is identified as an attractive option for carbon precursor due to its availability and its anisotropic nature. This ceramic material is fabricated by pyrolysis of wood waste from Kapur, Dark Red Meranti and Kempas in an inert atmosphere leaving an amorphous carbon preform. The amorphous carbon is infiltrated with molten Si at elevated temperatures forming a porous bioSiC with a microstructure that is analogous to the wood precursor. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis showed that the silicon infiltrated both larger and smaller vessels by retaining the original wood structure without being affected by the closure of the small pore and reduction of pore diameter. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results revealed that SiC is produced without excess silicon after etching. The increasing holding time of infiltration enhanced the formation of bioSiC by up to 3 hours. However, a longer reaction of 5 hours reduced the bioSiC formation at an infiltration temperature of 1500 °C. The flexural strength, compressive and modulus of Dark Red Meranti samples were much higher than those of Kapur and Kempas due to the higher forms of silicon carbide.
