High thermal conductivity of spark plasma sintered silicon carbide ceramics with yttria and scandia

A fully dense SiC ceramic with a room‐temperature thermal conductivity of 262 W·(m·K)^?1 was obtained via spark plasma sintering β‐SiC powder containing 0.79 vol% Y₂O₃‐Sc₂O₃. High‐resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed two different SiC‐SiC boundaries, that is, amorphous and clean boundaries, in addition to a fully crystallized junction phase. A high thermal conductivity was attributed to a low lattice oxygen content and the presence of clean SiC‐SiC boundaries.     

Strength improvement and purification of Yb2Si2O7‐SiC nanocomposites by surface oxidation treatment

A two‐step processing was developed to prepare Yb₂Si₂O₇‐SiC nanocomposites. Yb₂Si₂O₇‐Yb₂SiO₅‐SiC composites were first fabricated by a solid‐state reaction/hot‐pressing method. The composites were then annealed at 1250°C in air for 2 hours to activate the oxidation of SiC, which effectively transformed the Yb₂SiO₅ into Yb₂Si₂O₇. The surface cracks purposely induced can be fully healed during the oxidation treatment. The treated composites have improved flexural strength compared to their pristine composites. The mechanism for crack healing and silicate transformation have been proposed and discussed in detail.     

The interaction between molten gallium and the hydrocarbon medium induced by ultrasonic energy—can gallium carbide be formed?

Ultrasonic irradiation of molten gallium in organic liquids (decane, dodecane, etc.) results in dispersion of the gallium into nanometric spheres. These were examined by several analytical methods XRD, DSC, Raman and IR spectroscopy) as well as electron microscopy (SEM, TEM) and found to be composed of Ga and C. The DSC analysis indicates that the Ga has possibly reacted with carbon, while the Raman spectrum of the product demonstrates a strong additional peak that could not be identified. This work explores the possibility that the product is gallium carbide or another gallium‐carbon complex. To investigate the nature of the product, we performed detailed extended X‐ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and X‐ray absorption near‐edge structure (XANES) analyses. On the basis of DSC, IR, and Raman it appear to be formation of GaC, whereas the analysis by EXAFS and XANES demonstrated that the gallium is found to be in a higher reduced state (almost metallic), supported by carbon. The question that remains open in addition to the one related to the formation of galium carbide is whether a complex structure, including oxygen contamination is involved in the layers surrounding the Ga as indicated by the EXAFS results.     

纳米碳颗粒/碳化硅陶瓷基复合材料的氧化行为

以微米硅(Si)和纳米碳黑(Cp)粉体为主要原料,采用经机械化学法合成的碳化硅(SiC)和15%和25%的纳米碳颗粒与碳化硅(Cp-SiC)的复合粉体,并经无压烧结得到了Cp/SiC陶瓷基复合材料,分析了在不同温度条件下Cp/SiC烧结体的氧化行为。结果表明:当温度小于700℃时,Cp/SiC复合陶瓷在空气中的氧化受C—O2反应控制,致使其为均匀氧化;700℃时,氧化后的复合材料显气孔率最大,弯曲强度达极小值;大于700℃,氧化过程受O2的气相扩散控制,呈非均匀氧化;700~900℃之间,O2通过微裂纹的扩散控制着Cp/SiC的氧化过程;900~1 100℃之间,O2通过SiC缺陷的扩散控制着Cp/SiC的氧化过程,并在1 000℃时的最初的2 h内,复合材料弯曲强度增大,且达到了极大值。同时表明,纳米碳含量是影响复合材料强度及氧化行为的关键因素,添加纳米碳质量分数为15%的Cp/SiC复合陶瓷可以作为一种抗氧化性能优良的玻璃夹具材料。     

旁路放风系统对电石渣配料熟料岩相的影响

通过对比使用旁路放风系统前后电石渣配料熟料岩相的变化,研究了电石渣中氯离子含量对熟料质量的影响。结果表明,无论是否使用旁路放风系统,电石渣配料熟料中都没有新矿物(氯铝酸钙)生成;旁路放风系统可以降低窑尾氯离子的富集程度,从而减少氯离子对烧成系统的不良影响。另对比了城市垃圾焚烧灰配料生产的生态水泥和电石渣配料生产的水泥熟料,因电石渣中的氯离子含量仅为城市垃圾焚烧灰的1/35,因此两种熟料物理性能差异巨大。     

Mechanical property degradation of high crystalline SiC fiber–reinforced SiC matrix composite neutron irradiated to ∼100 displacements per atom

For the development of silicon carbide (SiC) materials for next-generation nuclear structural applications, degradation of material properties under intense neutron irradiation is a critical feasibility issue. This study evaluated the mechanical properties and microstructure of a chemical vapor infiltrated SiC matrix composite, reinforced with a multi-layer SiC/pyrolytic carbon–coated Hi-Nicalon^TM Type S SiC fiber, following neutron irradiation at 319 and 629?°C to ～100 displacements per atom. Both the proportional limit stress and ultimate flexural strength were significantly degraded as a result of irradiation at both temperatures. After irradiation at 319?°C, the quasi-ductile fracture behavior of the nonirradiated composite became brittle, a result that was explained by a loss of functionality of the fiber/matrix interface associated with the disappearance of the interphase due to irradiation. The specimens irradiated at 629?°C showed increased apparent failure strain because the fiber/matrix interphase was weakened by irradiation-induced partial debonding.     

Effect of sintering temperature on electrical properties of SiC/ZrB2 ceramics

SiC/20?wt% ZrB₂ composite ceramics were fabricated via pressureless solid phase sintering in argon atmosphere at different temperature. The effect of sintering temperature on microstructure, electrical properties and mechanical properties of SiC/ZrB₂ ceramics was investigated. Electrical resistivity exhibits twice significant decreases with increasing sintering temperature. The first decrease from 1900?°C to 2000?°C is attributed to the obvious decrease of continuous pore channels in as-sintered materials. The second decrease from 2100?°C to 2200?°C results from the improvement of carbon crystallization and the disappearance of amorphous layers enveloping ZrB₂ grains. Additionally, the increase of sintered density with increasing temperature caused greatly advance of flexural strength, elastic modulus and Vickers hardness. But excessive temperature is detrimental to flexural strength because of SiC grain growth.     

Preparation of ZrC/SiC porous self-supporting monoliths via sol-gel process using polyethylene glycol as phase separation inducer

We present a straightforward method via sol-gel process using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as phase separation inducer to prepare zirconium carbide/silicon carbide (ZrC/SiC) porous monoliths. Organic/inorganic hybrid gels are prepared using zirconium oxychloride, furfuryl alcohol, and tetraethyl orthosilicate as major starting materials. In the presence of PEG, crack-free hybrid monoliths are obtained by drying the wet gels under ambient pressure, whereas in the absence of PEG, the wet gels break into pieces as expected. PEG plays a key role in maintaining the macroscopic shape of the monoliths. After ceramization at 1300–1500?°C, ZrC/SiC porous monoliths are obtained. SEM and mercury intrusion porosimetry data show that PEG also has strong influence on the microstructures of the monoliths. The compressive strengths of the ceramic monoliths are in the range of 0.3 to 0.7?MPa. And their compressive behavior starts to differ due to the changes in their microstructures, especially the pore structure.     

Phase stability and microstructural formations in the niobium carbides

The phase stability and microstructural formations for a series of hot isostatically pressed (HIP) NbC_x compositions was investigated. Based on the composition, single-phase B1 (Fm$\overline{3}$m) NbC or (P$\overline{3}$1m) β?Nb₂C equiaxed grains were observed as well as β-Nb₂C lath precipitation within NbC. Particular discussion is given to the complexities of X-ray and electron diffraction for proper identification for the various poly-types of Nb₂C that have been computationally predicted. The phase transformation pathways for these microstructures was revealed by a NbC-Nb diffusion couple from the HIP powders. The migration of vacancies towards the NbC side resulted in a refinement of the NbC grains whereas carbon’s migration into the Nb formed an uniform and distinct reaction front with a mixture of β-Nb₂C and Nb grains. This latter microstructure suggests carbon’s reaction through the matrix grain is as significant in the conversion process as is the precipitation of β-Nb₂C at the grain boundaries.
