文摘Hf-based carbides are highly desirable candidate materials for oxidizing environments above 2000℃.However,the static oxidation behavior at their potential service temperatures remains unclear.To fill this gap,the static oxidation behavior of(Hf,Ti)C and the effect of Ti substitutions were investigated in air at 2500℃ under an oxygen partial pressure of 4.2 kPa.After oxidation for 2000 s,the thickness of the oxide layer on the surface of(Hf,Ti)C bulk ceramic is reduced by 62.29%compared with that on the HfC monocarbide surface.The dramatic improvement in oxidation resistance is attributed to the unique oxide layer structure consisting of various crystalline oxycarbides,HfO_(2),and carbon.The Ti-rich oxycarbide((Ti,Hf)C_(x)O_(y))dispersed within HfO_(2) formed the major structure of the oxide layer.A coherent boundary with lattice distortion existed at the HfO2/(Ti,Hf)C_(x)O_(y) interface along the(111)crystal plane direction,which served as an effective oxygen diffusion barrier.The Hfrich oxycarbide((Hf,Ti)CxOy)together with(Ti,Hf)C_(x)O_(y),HfO_(2),and precipitated carbon constituted a dense transition layer,ensuring favorable bonding between the oxide layer and the matrix.The Ti content affects the oxidation resistance of(Hf,Ti)C by determining the oxide layer's phase distribution and integrity.
