Pressureless Sintering of ZrB2 with β-SiC Addition

Article Preview

Abstract:

Zirconium diboride (ZrB2) is a covalent compound that leads the category of ultra high temperature ceramics materials owing to its unique properties. In this work, the effect of addition of beta-silicon carbide (β-SiC) in pressureless sintering of ZrB2 was investigated. Four compositions were prepared with 0, 10, 20 e 30 vol% of SiC. ZrB2 powder and mixtures were prepared in by planetary milling with SiC spheres at 4 h. Two sintering temperatures were used, one at 2050 oC/1h and other at 2150 °C/1h. The addition of SiC has promoted an increasing in densification with the increasing of SiC content. The total densification of sample sintered at 2050 oC was 90% of theoretical density for sample with 30 vol% of SiC, while the maximum densification for temperature of 2150 oC was 91,0 %TD.
