The high temperature oxidation behaviors of the Ti3SiC2-SiC ceramic composites fabricated by in situ synthesis under hot isostatic pressing were studied by DSC. The results show that the growth of the oxide scales on Ti3SiC2-SiC ceramic composites obeys a parabolic law in air. The oxidation resistance at 1400°C is better than that at 1200°C for long time. The oxidation resistance of the Ti3SiC2-SiC ceramic composites is much higher than that of monolithic Ti3SiC2. The mechanism of oxidation of Ti3SiC2-SiC ceramic composites is discussed.

Fully dense samples of TiB2-TiCX and TiB2-TiCX/15SiC ceramic composites were fabricated by in-situ synthesis under hot isostatic pressing from TiH2, B4C and SiC powders. Their oxidized behaviors at different temperatures were tested. Optical micrograph studies and thermo-gravimetric analyses show that the highest effective temperature of oxidation resistance is 700°C for TiB2-TiCX, and 1100°C for TiB2-TiCX/15SiC. The weight gain of TiB2-TiCX/15SiC below 1100°C is quite low, and it rises up suddenly when the temperature reaches 1200°C. Thus, the highest effective temperature of oxidation resistance is 1100°C for TiB2-TiCX/15SiC. The oxidation dynamic curves of TiB2-TiCX/15SiC ceramics accord with the parabola’s law. The activation energy of TiB2-TiCx/15SiC (189.87kJ.mol-1) is higher than that of TiB2-TiCx (96.44kJ.mol-1). In the oxidation process of TiB2-TiCx/15SiC, TiB2 reacts with oxygen and generates TiO2 and B2O3 at first. A layer of whole homogeneous oxide film cannot be formed, in the mean time, the oxidation of TiC begins. When temperature goes up to 1000°C, TiC phase is totally oxidized. SiC is oxidized to SiO2 at about 900°C, Meanwhile, TiO2 forms denser film than B2O3, which grows and covers the surface of the material, and gives better property of oxidation resistance.

Nb-16Si-24Ti-6Cr-6Al-2Hf-xB(x=0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6) in situ composites were prepared by arc-melting. Microstructure and the effect of boron on 1250C oxidation resistance of the composites were investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray energy disperse spectrum(EDS) as well as X-ray diffraction(XRD). The experimental results showed that the high temperature oxidation resistance of the alloy was remarkably improved by adding proper amount of boron. This may be resulted from several beneficial roles of boron, i.e., boron improves the resistance of Nb5Si3 by solid solution strengthening, inhibits the diffusion of oxygen in the matrix, improves the adherence between the oxide scale and the substrate and increases the cracking resistance of the oxide scale.
