All ceramic samples were pre-pared by spark plasma sintering （SPS） under a pressure of 30 MPa. AlN composite ceramics sintered with 30wt%-40wt%SiC at 1600℃ for 5 min exhibited the best dielectric loss tangent, which is greater than 0.3. In addition to AlN and β-SiC, the samples also contained 2H-SiC and Fe5Si3, as detected by X-ray difraction （XRD）. The relative densities of the sintered ceramics were higher than 93%. Experimental results indicate that nano-SiC has a strong capability of absorbing electromagnetic waves. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of AlN-SiC ce-ramics with the same content of SiC decreased as the frequency of electromagnetic waves increased from 1 kHz to 1 MHz.展开更多

The interfacial reaction characteristics were investigated by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The results show that nearly all the titanium atoms reacted with the carbon coating of SiC fibers to form two layers of TiC. Also, a thin copper layer that is sandwiched between these two layers was detected. No Ti-Cu interfacial reaction product was observed. The formation process of the interfacial reaction along with its mechanism was discussed.展开更多

Further, the effect of Al_2O_(3sf) on the friction and wear properties of the as-synthesized composites was systematically investigated, and the relationship between volume fraction and wear mechanism was discussed. The results showed that the addition of Al_2O_(3sf), characterized by the ratio of Al_2O_(3sf) to SiC_p, significantly affected the properties of the composites and resulted in changes in wear mechanisms. When the volume ratio of Al_2O_(3sf) to SiC_p was increased from 0 to 1, the rate of wear mass loss(K_m) and coefficients of friction(COFs) of the composites decreased, and the wear mechanisms were abrasive wear and furrow wear. When the volume ratio was increased from 1 to 3, the COF decreased continuously; however, the K_m increased rapidly and the wear mechanism became adhesive wear.展开更多

It is found that the mechanical properties and densities of 3D-B Cf/Si-O-C composites can be increased if the first pyrolysis cycle is assisted by hot-pressing. Pyrolysis temperature has great effects on mechanical properties and microstructures of 3D-B Cf/Si-O-C composites. The composite, which is hot-pressed at 1 600 ℃ for 5 min with pressure of 10 MPa in the first pyrolysis cycle, exhibits high mechanical properties: bending strength 502 MPa and fracture toughness 23.7 MPa·m1/2. The high mechanical properties are mainly attributed to desirable interfacial structure and high density.展开更多
