摘要
n order to investigate the phase evolution and microstructure of aluminum containing carbon composites,- 195 graphite flake and ≤0. 074 mm aluminum powders（ Al 99%,in mass,the same hereinafter） were used as main starting materials. The mixture with 1 ∶ 1of graphite and aluminum was well mixed with additional 15% phenolic resin and then shaped in a hydraulic machine. The specimens were first dried at 250 ℃ for12 h,and then graphite-embedded fired at 800,1 000,1 200,1 400,and 1 600 ℃ for 3 h,respectively. XRD and SEM were used to characterize the phase compositions and section microstructure. The results show that at800 ℃ aluminum powder melts and reacts with carbon in resin forming granular Al4C3 at the edge of graphite;at 1 000 ℃,Al4C3 increases in amount and grows in volume,and AlN commences to form; at 1 200 ℃,some Al4C3 grows to tabular shape,and other Al4C3 nitridizes forming fibrous AlN; at 1 400 ℃,Al4C3 decreases because it is nitridized or oxidized forming fibrous AlN or Al2O3; at 1 600 ℃,Al4C3 disappears,AlN or Al2O3 gets big and coarse.
