Effect of BN Short Fiber Content on Mechanical Properties of ZrB2-SiC UHTCs

Article Preview

Abstract:

ZrB2-20%volSiC ceramic composites with different volume of BN short fiber were fabricated by the hot-pressing sintering under 2000°C. The content of BN short fiber changed from 0 to 15vol%. The density, flexural strength, fracture toughness and thermal expansions coefficient were studied. The microstructures of the samples were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the introducing of BN short fiber into the ZrB2-20%volSiC lead to a serious of change to the mechanical properties of the ceramic. When the content of the BN short fiber is 10vol%, the flexural strength and fracture toughness reach 422.1MPa and 6.15 MPa•m 1/2 respectively. And the mechanism of the increasing toughness was studied.
