Preparation and Properties of In Situ Formed YAG Bonded Porous SiC Ceramics

Abstract:

Yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG) possesses many good properties, and usually uesd as sintering additives for silicon carbide ceramics. The YAG precursor solution was preformed by the coprecipitation process, then 8wt% prepared precursor solution was added and uesed as binder for samples' green bodies dry mould pressing. The dried pressed samples were directly sintered at 1850¡æ under vaccum atmosphere, and the precursor Al₂O₃-Y₂O₃ could be formed YAG during sintering process. The oxidation resistance property was performed at 1500¡æ in air. Bulk density and porosity were about 2.42g/cm³ and 24.98% respectively, and three-point bonding strength was up to 90MPa. Phase composition of sintered specimen was determined by X-ray diffraction and fracture morphology was detected by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that the as-fabricated porous SiC ceramics exhlibted excellent oxidation resistance abilities, its oxidation resistance improvement was benefited from silicon carbide particle coated with a compact YAG layer. The relationship between microstructure and properties was analyzed, and the finally formed phase composition was discussed.
