Silicon Carbide Ceramics

Silicon powder and phenolic resin were used as raw materials to produce porous silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics, with SiC whiskers (SiCw) as reinforcement additionally. Starting with the preparation of core-shell structure precursor powder through coat-mix method, and then by carrying out molding, carbonization and sintering processes, SiCw/SiC ceramic examples were produced. The phase composite, fracture surface morphology, pore size and porosity, bending strength and thermal expansion coefficient of the final product were measured. Results show that the addition of SiCw apparently improved the intensive property of the products and the changing pattern were quantitatively analyzed; while little influence was observed on some other properties such as phase composition and thermal expansion coefficient. It means that SiCw can strengthen porous silicon carbide ceramics without weakening their thermal properties, which is particularly important because of its application in the field of high temperature fluid filtration. Incorporated SiCw is supposed to work in accordance with some toughening mechanism such as load transferring and matrix prestressing. Microstructure, pore evaluation and weight loss rate during carbonation and sintering were also noted to describe the procedure better.

The porous silicon carbide ceramics were fabricated by adding a variety of low melting point oxides in this paper. The additives were mullite, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, and vanadium oxide. Effects of the additives content on the properties of porous silicon carbide ceramics were studied. The results showed that, when the additives content was greater than 2.8%, the apparent porosity, the bending strength, the permeability and the pore size were in an inversely proportional relationship with the additives content, while the content was less than 2.8%, proportional relationship was observed. When the additives content reached 2.8%, the porous SiC ceramics showed the best performances.

Silicon Carbide Ceramics

The core-shell structure precursor powder was synthesized through coat-mix process, and a small amount of Al2O3, SiO2and Y2O3composite additives were added. Porous silicon carbide ceramics were produced after molding, carbonization and sintering, and the crystalline phase, weight loss, porosity, bending strength, and thermal expansion coefficient were measured. The effect of aging pH value of coat-mix process on the characterization of porous SiC ceramics had been analyzed. The results indicate that the crosslink degree and curing rate of the phenolic resin is adjusted by changing the aging pH value, and the coating effect in the coat-mix process is improved. Thereby, the flexural strength, thermal expansion coefficient, porosity and pore distribution of the porous SiC ceramics could be adjusted according to the application requirements. When the pH value ranges from 3 to 5 or higher than 7, the phenolic resin shows a lower crosslink degree and char yield, while the ceramics show a higher porosity and a lower thermal expansion coefficient; and the flexural strength decreases as the aging environmental pH value increases.

Heat Treated

In this paper, negative thermal expansion coefficient eucryptite powders were prepared by sol-gel method using silica-sol as starting material. The raw blocks were obtained by dry pressing process after the powder was synthesized, and then the raw blocks were heat-treated at 600º, 1150º, 1280º, 1380º, 1420º and 1450°C, respectively. Variations of density, porosity and thermal expansion coefficient at different heat treatment temperatures were investigated. Phase transformation and fracture surface morphology of eucryptite heat-treated at different temperatures, respectively, were observed by XRD and SEM. The results indicate that, with the increasing heat- treatment temperature, the grain size and the bending strength increased, porosity decreased, thermal expansion coefficient decreased continuously. Negative thermal expansion coefficient of -5.3162×10-6~-7.4413×10-6 (0~800°C) was obtained. But when the heat-treatment temperature was more than 1420°C, porosity began to increase, bending strength began to decrease, which were the symbols of over-burning, while the main crystal phase didn’t change.

Two Samples

Two types of mullite-Al2O3 composites were designed and sintered in situ from different composition containing Al composites e.g. kaolin, alumina hydroxide and calcined bauxite etc, and auxiliary additives. The phase composition and microstructure were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques. Bulk density, apparent porosity, thermal expansion coefficient and bending strength were also measured. The two samples exhibited XRD reflections characteristic of alumina and mullite phases. The amount of these phases depended on starting batch compositions, and reaction of starting and auxiliary materials together to form mullite. Because of in-situ formation of mullite fiber, the bulk density and bending strength were improved and apparent porosity was decreased for the composites with uniform microstructure. The presence of high mullite phase was found to decrease the thermal expansion coefficient. The potential effect of these morphologies and phase on properties was discussed. These mullite-Al2O3 composite was expected to have major applications in the areas of refractory material.
