Microstructure, mechanical behavior and oxidation resistance of disorderly assembled ZrB 2 -based short fibrous monolithic ceramics

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Axially aligned fibrous monolithic ceramics present non-catastrophic fracture behavior via crack deflection and delamination along cell boundaries. However, severe in-plane anisotropy and time-consuming preparation procedures prevent their extensive promotion. The introduction of high content of weak phase components with poor oxidation resistance in weak interface destroys the excellent oxidation resistance of ceramic matrix. In this work, ZrB 2 -based short fibrous monolithic (SFM) ceramics with in-plane isotropic mechanical properties and excellent oxidation resistance were easily prepared by hot pressing randomly assembled short ceramic fibers. The microstructure and mechanical behavior of ZrB 2 -based SFM ceramics densified at various temperatures were systematically investigated. The mechanical properties of ZrB 2 -based SFM ceramics slightly improved with the increase of sintering temperature. ZrB 2 -based SFM ceramics exhibited excellent oxidation resistance and remained intact without macroscopic cracks after ablation for 615 s in oxyacetylene flame with maximum temperatures exceeding 2150 °C. The oxidation behavior was analyzed in detail.
