Thermal shock property of the material can be improved by improving fracture property of the material. In this paper, factors affecting fracture property have been studied and the effect of residual stress, microstructure, strain rate and stress concentration on fracture property of material has been analyzed, which may provide help for improving thermal shock property of material. Thermal shock stability for ZrB2-SiCp-Graphite(ZSG) and ZrB2-SiCp-AlN (ZSA) was investigated by water quenching test, which indicated that ZSC may provide more stable thermal shock properties. As shown by SEM of ZSA, surface cracks appeared after it was cooled from 1200°C due to thermal shock instability of the material. Residual flexural strength of ZSA was improved by crack healing after it was cooled from 1450°C. However, no surface crack appeared for ZSG after water quenching test. This paper may provided a potential method for improving thermal shock stability of zirconium diboride ceramic matrix composites by introducing proper quantities of graphite.

This paper discusses the effect of thermal shock on the mechanical properties of some ceramic matrix composites manufactured by the sol-gel process. The composites were prepared by the freeze-gelation of aqueous sols of two different matrix compositions, each containing about 10vol% of Saffil alumina fibres. The properties of one composite remained almost unaffected by the thermal shock, while those of the second material remained unaffected up to about 300°C and then fell smoothly as the water-quenching temperature was further increased to 600°C.
