Oxidation Behavior Research of the SiC/B4C Multiphase Ceramics

Abstract:

Inthis investigation, the rare-earth oxide Yb2O3 combined with Al2O3served as sintering additives and SiC and B4C powder were applied to fabricate SiC/B4C multiphase ceramics composites by pressureless sintering. The results proved thatcombination of Al2O3 and Yb2O3 sinter additives were effective fordensification of SiC/B4C composites. The influence of oxidation time onthe phase constitution, micro-structure and oxidation behavior of SiC/B4C composites was investigated.Theformation of eutectic phase Yb2Si2O7 phase waswrapped on the SiC surface and it reduced further oxidation of SiC particles.The oxidation kineticcurves followed a parabolic rule.
