Abstract

The oxidation behavior and corrosion mechanism of SiC ceramics were investigated at high temperatures ranging from 1000 ℃ to 1200 ℃ in wet environments (75 % water/25 % air). The results demonstrate the formation of protective SiO2 layers, which effectively inhibit further oxidation at 1000 ℃ and 1100 ℃. However, simultaneous oxidation and water vapor corrosion occur at 1200 ℃, leading to substantial weight loss and the development of numerous porous layers that can reach up to 30 μm after 10 h oxidation. The YAG phases in the SiC ceramics react with SiO2 to generate Y2Si2O7, Y2SiO5, and/or Al2Si2O7 phases during oxidation process, which exhibit enhanced corrosion resistance under wet environments.
