Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a composite material, in particular to a CNTs toughened TiB synthesized in situ2A method for preparing a superhigh temperature ceramic material.
Background
Overview TiB2The research history of ceramic materials, which was regarded as important in the last 50-60 years, was difficult to sinter and compact due to extremely strong covalent bonds, TiB2The research on ceramics falls into the valley, so the literature reports remaining at this stage mainly focus on the research on the basic physical properties; since the 80 s, based on TiB2The excellent properties and the advancement of sintering technology, which are considered by more and more researchers to be applied to aerospace materials, are slow to progress due to their extreme brittleness, poor thermal shock resistance and expensive manufacturing cost. It can be seen that the improvement of room temperature fracture toughness and thermal shock resistance to TiB2Ceramic materials are very important.
From the prior published literature reports, the TiB is improved2The fracture toughness of ceramic materials is to avoid large crack sources in the ceramic, which requires an improvement in TiB2The sintering technology of the ceramic is used for inhibiting the abnormal growth of crystal grains and the occurrence of stress concentration as much as possible, thereby obtaining the TiB with high density and low defect2A material. Currently, single phase TiB2The preparation of the ceramic mainly adopts the technologies of pressureless sintering, hot-pressing sintering, self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and the like. However, it is difficult to completely eliminate TiB regardless of the sintering end2Microscopic defects in ceramics. Meanwhile, the brittle fracture of the ceramic material is mainly caused by crack propagation, and theoretically, the fracture toughness of the ceramic can be effectively improved by increasing the potential energy required to be overcome by crack propagation, consuming or converting the energy of crack propagation, dispersing the stress at the tip of the crack and the like. To this end, TiB2The toughening mode adopted by the ceramic mainly comprises layered toughening and composite tougheningToughness, etc. For single phase TiB2Ceramics, TiN/TiB2、TiAlN/TiB2、SiC/TiB2The layered ceramic exhibits high toughness, but the layered material is limited by high melting point and interface thermal matching, and a material with excellent comprehensive performance cannot be obtained. The composite toughening is to improve the toughness of the organism by adding a second term or multiple phases, and comprises the following steps: a) particle toughening (MoSi)2、CrSi2SiC, Fe, Ni), all of which are not more than 8.0 MPa. m, although the fracture toughness is improved1/2;b)ZrO2Phase change toughening, the room temperature toughening effect is good, but the effect at high temperature is not obvious, and the application in the aspect of high-temperature structural elements is greatly limited; c) the fiber/whisker is toughened, and the uniform dispersion of the fiber/whisker is difficult to realize; d) self-toughening, just starting, very limited in-situ formed toughening phase, and only native flaky or strip TiB is seen at present2The report of (1).
Aiming at the current situation, the invention provides a CVD method for in-situ generation of CNTs and a preparation method of a discharge plasma sintering technology by combining the excellent toughening effect of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs), so that the heat-proof material of the hypersonic aerocraft with high temperature resistance, ablation resistance and thermal shock resistance is obtained.

After the step S1 is finished, stopping introducing H into the closed space2. Step S2 is started. In order to prevent the propagation of cracks in the ceramic material, in step S2, the fracture toughness and thermal shock resistance of the ceramic material can be effectively improved by increasing the potential energy to be overcome for crack propagation, consuming or transforming the energy for crack propagation, dispersing the stress at the crack tip, and the like. It is based on this idea that step S2 of the present invention is developed.
