Infiltration Method

An infiltration process that uses silica sol-gel solutions was developed to protect C/SiC composites against oxidation. The infiltration is assisted using isostatic pressure. Different process parameters including substrate porosity and solution concentration and viscosity were varied to optimize the infiltration effectiveness. Applied pressure enhances penetration of solutions, reducing the importance of viscosity, an important process variable for dipping infiltration. The effectiveness of the isostatic pressure infiltration method, evaluated through the total weight gains and pore-size distribution of infiltrated samples, is compared with results of dipping infiltration. The oxidation behavior of the infiltrated samples, was evaluated by stepwise oxidation test as well as isothermal tests at 1200 and 1600 °C. The infiltrated SiO2 protects the C/SiC substrate, reducing the burnoff rate of C fibers at low temperature and delaying the oxidation of SiC.

The SiCp performing sample was made first then Al/SiCp (65%) was manufactured. Appropriate component and proportion of binder and process parameters were selected to control the porosity. Debinding has succeeded by extractive and thermal debinding processes. SiCp preforming samples with good appearance, enough strength, and right porosity were obtained by pre-sintering process at 1100°C. Composites with high density and homogeneous microstructure were manufactured by pressure infiltration under 1050°C and 15MPa. The distribution of aluminium and silicon elements was homogeneous. The primary components of materials are aluminium, β-SiC and α-SiC. The thermal expand coefficient of composites is 8.0×10-6/°C at room temperature, which increases with temperature and reaches to 11.0×10-6/°C at 300°C. The density is 2.92g/cm3, and relative density is more than 97 %. The strength is about 500MPa, approaching to the upper limit of the theoretical value.

A large number of macroscopic pores were introduced into commercially pure aluminum (Al) and Zn-Al eutectoid alloy by air pressure infiltration process to comparatively study the influence of macroscopic pores on the damping behaviors of the materials. Macroscopic pores size are on the order of a millimetre (0.5~1.4mm) and in large proportions, typically high 76vol.%. The damping behavior of the materials is characterized by internal friction (IF). The IF was measured on a multifunction internal friction apparatus (MFIFA) at frequencies of 0.5, 1.0 and 3.0 Hz over the temperature range of 25 to 400 °C, while continuously changing temperature. The damping capacity of the metal materials is shown to increase with introducing macroscopic pores. Finally, the operative damping mechanisms in the metal materials with macroscopic pores were discussed in light of IF measurements.

With the rapid development of aerospace and automobile industries, metal matrix composites (MMCs) have attracted much attention because of its excellent performance. In this paper, Ni-Cr/AC8A composites reinforced with porous Ni-Cr preform were manufactured by low pressure infiltration process, infiltration temperatures are 700oC~850oC. The microstructure and phase composition of composites were evaluated using optical microscope, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electro-probe microanalysis (EPMA), It's found that they're intermetallic compounds generated in the composites. Recently, intermetallic compounds have attracted much attention as high-temperature material. We study the hardness of Ni-Cr/AC8A composites, the results show the Ni-Cr/AC8A composite has high hardness due to the intermetallic compounds exist.

Sealing Glass

Surface and interfacial properties of borosilicate glass/ceramic systems have been investigated using the sessile drop method. The purpose is to compare and understand the reactivity of the sealing glass in C / SiC and SiC / SiC composites. A hot wall reactor has been designed to measure the variation of the contact angle and the spreading kinetic according to the temperature (500 to 1100°C) and the atmosphere (Ar, Ar + O2 and Ar + H2O). Chemical and morphological analyses underline (i) the strong reactivity between the liquid and the ceramic, (ii) the influence of the infiltration process and (iii) the strong influence of the oxidizing agent on the wetting behaviour of the glass/ceramic systems.
