In the present study, a theoretical model is presented to assess the failure temperature for ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs). Unlike traditional thermal shock theory, the parameters, such as thermal expansion coefficient and Young's modulus, are considered a function of temperature in the present model. The oxide film of UHTCs is also believed to grow under high temperature. Considering two kinds of conditions, the critical elevated temperature for delamination is calculated using Griffith's theory. By establishing the relation between temperature and the mechanical properties of UHTCs, it is found that the failure behavior of UHTCs is strongly affected by the oxide film thickness, initial temperature and the heating rate.

Environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) or stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of key structural materials in the environments of the light water reactor is one of the main problems for the management of the structural safety and service life of nuclear power plants. To understand the effect of oxide film thickness on SCC growth in structural materials in a high temperature water environment, the stress-strain field at the tip of a SCC in nickel base alloy constituted by base metal and oxide film was analyzed in this paper by finite element method using commercial software. The effects of oxide film thickness on the stress-strain field at the tip of the SCC was obtained, which provides a new insight into the research of the mechanism of SCC growth in structural materials in a high temperature water environment.

Recent ideas on the oxidation of ZrB2-SiC are presented, emphasizing the behavior of the boria-silica-zirconia liquid (BSZ liquid) which forms during oxidation and flows to transport silica and zirconia to the surface of the scale. Oxide film microstructure is strongly influenced by the boron oxide, which acts as a volatile flux.

The parameters, such as thermal expansion coefficient and Young's modulus, are considered as a function of temperature and incorporated into ANSYS code to calculate the stress field of UHTCs under high temperature condition in the present work. The stress fields of two kinds of heating cases are calculated and compared. By establishing the relation between the temperature and the mechanical properties of the UHTCs, it is found that the mechanical behavior of UHTCs is strongly affected by the oxide film thickness, initial temperature and the heating rate.

Rapid solidification processing (RSP) is one method of producing high strength aluminum alloys for elevated temperature applications. Allied-Signal, Inc. has produced an Al-12.4 Fe-1.2 V-2.3 Si (composition in wt pct) alloy which possesses good microstructural stability up to 425°C. This alloy contains a high volume fraction (37 v/o) of fine nearly spherical, α-Al12(Fe, V)3Si dispersoids. The improved elevated temperature strength and stability of this alloy is due to the slower dispersoid coarsening rate of the silicide particles. Additionally, the high v/o of second phase particles should inhibit recrystallization and grain growth, and thus reduce any loss in strength due to long term, high temperature annealing.The focus of this research is to investigate microstructural changes induced by long term, high temperature static annealing heat-treatments. Annealing treatments for up to 1000 hours were carried out on this alloy at 500°C, 550°C and 600°C. Particle coarsening and/or recrystallization and grain growth would be accelerated in these temperature regimes.
