Ultra High Temperature

Carbon fiber reinforced ultra high temperature ceramic matrix composite (C/UHTC) is one of the most promising structural materials capable of prolonged operation in oxidizing environment at ultra high temperatures above 2000 ?C. Reactive melt infiltration (RMI) is a viable processing choice for C/UHTC composite. Compared with chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) and polymer impregnation and pyrolysis (PIP), RMI does not suffer from the drawbacks of time-consuming and high cost. It is viewed as a promising means of achieving near-net shape manufacturing with quick processing time and at low cost. Recently, great efforts have been made on RMI process for C/UHTC composite. Carbon fiber reinforced ZrC, HfC and TiC composites have been successfully fabricated by RMI. The aim of the following chapter is to introduce the RMI process and summarize the progress in RMI process for C/UHTC composite. In addition, future research directions of RMI are also proposed.

Ultra High Temperature

With the background of thermal protection applications of anti-oxidation carbon fiber reinforced composites, carbon fiber reinforced ultra-high temperatureceramics with homogeneous disperse complex matrix of C-ZrB2-SiC (C/C-ZrB2-SiC) was prepared. Carbon fiber performs were deposited with pyrolytic carbon by chemical vapor infiltration method. Subsequently, the composite precursors were prepared by completely mutually dissolving of ZrB2 polymeric precursor and polycarbosilane dimethylbenzene solution. Then the nano-dispersed ZrB2-SiC composite ceramic was introduced into the C/C preforms by polymer impregnant and pyrolysis process. The C/C-ZrB2-SiC composite shows excellent ablation behavior with the ablating rate of 8*10-4mm/s. The microstructural and compositional characterizations of the C/C-ZrB2-SiC composites indicates that ZrB2 nanoparticle is distributed homogeneously in the continuous SiC phase, which is beneficial to enhance ultra-high temperature ablation resistance of the composites.
