Background
The silicon-boron-carbon-nitrogen ceramic material is a novel high-temperature heat-proof structural ceramic material which has just been developed in about 20 years, and SiBCN ceramic has the advantages of low density, excellent structural stability (higher amorphous stability, and the capsule structure after crystallization can effectively inhibit the growth of crystal grains), excellent comprehensive mechanical properties (high strength, high hardness, high toughness and the like), good oxidation resistance, good high-temperature creep property, excellent comprehensive high-temperature property (SiBCN fibers can be used in 1500 ℃ air), good thermal shock resistance and ablation resistance, and excellent machining property, so that the SiBCN ceramic material attracts extensive attention of researchers in the field of materials. At present, the main preparation methods of the silicon-boron-carbon-nitrogen ceramic bulk material comprise an organic precursor conversion method and a mechanical alloying-hot pressing sintering method (an inorganic method).
In the previous research on preparing silicon-boron-carbon-nitrogen ceramic by a precursor conversion method, the focus is on firstly synthesizing an organic precursor by using an organic monomer as a raw material, then cracking the precursor at high temperature to obtain inorganic powder, and finally sintering the ceramic powder to obtain the ceramic material. The silicon-boron-carbon-nitrogen ceramic material prepared by the organic precursor conversion method has excellent performance, but has a plurality of problems: 1. the steps of preparing the amorphous silicon boron carbon nitrogen ceramic composite material by using the organic precursor are complex, the process is difficult to control, the synthesis environment requirement is strict, all the steps of raw material storage, the synthesis process and the synthesis of the organic precursor are required to be operated in a highly anhydrous and oxygen-free environment, and the synthesis process is slow; 2. the amorphous silicon boron carbon nitrogen ceramic composite material prepared by using the organic precursor has low yield and small single synthesis amount, and solid byproducts generated in part of organic synthesis processes are not easy to remove; 3. the cracking speed is required to be only 1 ℃/minute in the process of preparing the silicon-boron-carbon-nitrogen ceramic by the cracking method, the cracking temperature is required to be about 1400 ℃ when being high, the cracking amount of each time is small, the operation is required to be carried out under the protection of high-purity inert gas, and the control is difficult; 4. the silicon-boron-carbon-nitrogen ceramic obtained by the cracking method can not realize complete densification, is a porous material and can not meet the actual use requirement; 5. the raw materials for organic synthesis are high in price and poor in environmental friendliness. These disadvantages greatly limit the large-scale application of the silicon-boron-carbon-nitrogen ceramic composite material in the aspect of engineering.
