Ablation behaviour and mechanical performance of ZrB_(2)-ZrC-SiC modified carbon/carbon composites prepared by vacuum infiltration combined with reactive melt infiltration

The development of advanced aircraft relies on high performance thermal-structural materials,and carbon/carbon com-posites(C/C)composited with ultrahigh-temperature ceramics are ideal candidates.However,the traditional routes of compositing are either inefficient and expensive or lead to a non-uniform distribution of ceramics in the matrix.Compared with the traditional C/C-ZrC-SiC composites prepared by the reactive melt infiltration of ZrSi_(2),C/C-ZrB_(2)-ZrC-SiC composites prepared by the vacuum infiltration of ZrB_(2) combined with reactive melt infiltration have the higher content and more uniform distribution of the introduced ceramic phases.The mass and linear ablation rates of the C/C-ZrB_(2)-ZrC-SiC composites were respectively 68.9%and 29.7%lower than those of C/C-ZrC-SiC composites prepared by reactive melt infiltration.The ablation performance was improved because the volatilization of B_(2)O_(3),removes some of the heat,and the more uniformly distributed ZrO_(2),that helps produce a ZrO2-SiO2 continu-ous protective layer,hinders oxygen infiltration and decreases ablation.

Effect of Heat Treatment on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Multiscale SiC_p Hybrid Reinforced 6061 Aluminum Matrix Composites

The performance of solid solution aging treatment on aluminum matrix composites prepared by powder metallurgy and reinforced with 6061 aluminum alloy powder as matrix;meanwhile, nano silicon carbide particles(nm Si Cp), submicron silicon carbide particles(1 μm Si Cp) and Ti particles were studied. The Al/Si Cp composite powder was prepared by high-energy ball milling, and then cold-pressed, sintered, hotextruded, and then heat-treated with different solution temperatures and aging times for the extruded composites. Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS), X-ray diffractometer(XRD) and extrusion testing were used to analyze and test the microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminum matrix composites. The results show that after the multi-stage solid solution at 530 ℃×2 h+535 ℃×2 h+540 ℃×2 h, the particles are mainly equiaxed grains and uniformly distributed. There is no reinforcement agglomeration, and the surface is dense and the insoluble phase is basically dissolved. In the matrix, the strengthening effect is good, and the hardness and compressive strength are 179.43 HV and 680.42 MPa, respectively. Under this solution process, when the aluminum matrix composites are aged at 170 ℃ for 10 h, the hardness and compressive strength can reach their peaks and increase to 195.82 HV and 721.48 MPa, respectively.

Compositional and Hollow Engineering of Silicon Carbide/Carbon Microspheres as High-Performance Microwave Absorbing Materials with Good Environmental Tolerance

Microwave absorbing materials(MAMs)characterized by high absorption efficiency and good environmental tolerance are highly desirable in practical applications.Both silicon carbide and carbon are considered as stable MAMs under some rigorous conditions,while their composites still fail to produce satisfactory microwave absorption performance regardless of the improvements as compared with the individuals.Herein,we have successfully implemented compositional and structural engineering to fabricate hollow Si C/C microspheres with controllable composition.The simultaneous modulation on dielectric properties and impedance matching can be easily achieved as the change in the composition of these composites.The formation of hollow structure not only favors lightweight feature,but also generates considerable contribution to microwave attenuation capacity.With the synergistic effect of composition and structure,the optimized SiC/C composite exhibits excellent performance,whose the strongest reflection loss intensity and broadest effective absorption reach-60.8 dB and 5.1 GHz,respectively,and its microwave absorption properties are actually superior to those of most SiC/C composites in previous studies.In addition,the stability tests of microwave absorption capacity after exposure to harsh conditions and Radar Cross Section simulation data demonstrate that hollow SiC/C microspheres from compositional and structural optimization have a bright prospect in practical applications.

Microwave absorption properties of Ni/C@SiC composites prepared by precursor impregnation and pyrolysis processes

In the present study,the unique three-dimensional graphene coated nickel(Ni/C)foam reinforced silicon carbide(Ni/C@SiC)composites were first obtained via the precursor impregnation and pyrolysis(PIP)processes.The microstructure images indicated that the SiC fillers were successfully prepared in the skeleton pores of the Ni/C foam.The influence of the PIP cycles on the microwave absorption performances was researched,and the results indicated that after the primary PIP process,Ni/C@SiC-I possessed the optimal microwave absorbing performance with a minimum reflection loss(RL)of-25.87 d B at 5.28 GHz and 5.00 mm.Besides,the RL values could be below-10.00 dB from 5.88 GHz to 7.74 GHz when the corresponding matching thickness was 3.85 mm.However,the microwave absorption properties of Ni/C@SiC-II and Ni/C@SiC-Ⅲwere tremendously degraded as the PIP times increased.At last,the electromagnetic parameter,dielectric loss,attenuation constant as well as impedance matching coefficient were further investigated to analyze the absorbing mechanism,which opened a new path for the certain scientific evaluation of the absorbing materials and had extremely important to the defence technology.

Monotonic tensile behavior analysis of three-dimensional needle-punched woven C/SiC composites by acoustic emission

High toughness and reliable three-dimensional needled C/SiC composites were fabricated by chemical vapor infiltration （CVI）. An approach to analyze the tensile behaviors at room temperature and the damage accumulation of the composites by means of acoustic emission was researched. Also the fracture morphology was examined by S-4700 SEM after tensile tests to prove the damage mechanism. The results indicate that the cumulative energy of acoustic emission （AE） signals can be used to monitor and evaluate the damage evolution in ceramic-matrix composites. The initiation of room-temperature tensile damage in C/SiC composites occurred with the growth of micro-cracks in the matrix at the stress level about 40% of the ultimate fracture stress. The level 70% of the fracture stress could be defined as the critical damage strength.

超高温陶瓷改性C/C复合材料抗氧化烧蚀性能研究进展

碳/碳(C/C)复合材料具有高强、轻质和耐温等优势,在航天领域取得广泛应用;但由于其抗氧化性能较差,难以满足高超声速飞行器长时飞行、大气层再入飞行和跨大气层飞行的服役环境。利用超高温陶瓷改性C/C复合材料(C/C-UHTC)可以显著提高C/C复合材料的抗氧化烧蚀性能,有望满足新一代飞行器长时间抗氧化、抗烧蚀及结构强度的要求。本文总结了C/C-UHTC复合材料烧蚀性能的常用测试方法,包括氧-乙炔烧蚀、等离子烧蚀、激光烧蚀和风洞烧蚀,简要介绍了各种烧蚀性能测试方法的特点。此外,对近年来Zr系和Hf系单组元、双组元和三组元C/C-UHTC复合材料的烧蚀性能及烧蚀机理进行详细阐述。
