Abstract:

The effect of SiC content, additives, and process parameters on densification and microstructural properties of pressureless sintered ZrB2– (1–10 wt %) SiC particulate composites have been studied. The ZrB2–SiC composite powders mixed by Spex mixer with 1-2wt% C (added as graphite powder) and CMC have been cold-compacted and sintered in argon environment in the temperature range of 1800–2100ºC for 2hs. The amount of densification is found to increase with sintering duration and by prior holding at 1200-1650ºC for reduction of oxide impurities (ZrO2, B2O3 and SiO2) on powder particle surfaces via the formation of new phases such as ZrSi2 and ZrC in the system. Presence of SiC with average size smaller than that of ZrB2 appears to aid in densification by enhancing green density, increasing C content by erosion of milling media, and inhibiting matrix grain growth. Both of SiC and C appear to aid in reduction of oxide impurities. The shrinkage of samples was measured, and the microstructure of samples was examined using X-Ray Diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), equipped with EDS spectroscopy. Room temperature mechanical properties were examined. Sintering temperature has a great effect on relative density, porosity, water absorption, hardness, fracture toughness, oxidation resistance, Strength and microstructure of these composites. The highest relative density, (99.65%), was obtained in ZrB2–10wt. %SiC–2 wt. %C composites sintered at 2000ºC for 2hs.

Phase and Microstructural Correlation of Spark Plasma Sintered HfB2-ZrB2 Based Ultra-High Temperature Ceramic Composites

Abstract: The refractory diborides (HfB2 and ZrB2) are considered as promising ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTCs) where low damage tolerance limits their application for the thermal protection system in re-entry vehicles. In this regard, SiC and CNT have been synergistically added as the sintering aids and toughening agents in the spark plasma sintered (SPS) HfB2-ZrB2 system. Herein, a nove...
