Description

Silicon carbide whisker/alumina ceramic composite material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a silicon carbide whisker/alumina ceramic composite material and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of alumina ceramic.
Background
The alumina ceramic has the characteristics of high melting point, high hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, low cost and the like, is an industrial ceramic material with the widest application range and the largest output in the world at present, and has wide application prospects in the fields of chemical industry, metallurgy, machinery, aerospace and the like. However, alumina ceramics have low toughness and high brittleness, and in order to expand the application fields thereof, a reinforcing phase is often required to be added to improve the toughness. The main toughening principle at present is in Al2O3The microstructure of the ceramic incorporates various energy dissipation factors such as fibers, whiskers, particles, and the like. The principle of improving fracture toughness is that the introduced reinforcement can consume more energy when the material is fractured, and the current main toughening methods include: ZrO (ZrO)2Toughening, nanotechnology toughening, whisker and fiber toughening, particle dispersion toughening and the like.
The whisker toughening is mainly to obviously improve the Al content through the functions of bridging, pinning or deflecting the whisker in the ceramic, pulling out the whisker and the like2O3Toughness of the base ceramic. The pulling-out effect of the whisker means that when the crack propagates and meets the high-strength whisker, larger shearing stress exists on the interface of the whisker and the matrix near the tip of the crack, the stress is easy to cause separation and cracking of the whisker and the interface, the whisker can be pulled out of the matrix, and the energy of external load is consumed due to interface friction to achieve the aim of toughening. At the same time, pulling out of the whiskers from the matrix creates microcracks to absorb more energy. Which is a crack tip tail effect for crack bridging. That is, when a whisker is encountered during crack propagation, the crack may be broken by transcrystallization, and an Interlocking phenomenon (Interlocking) may occur in which the crack bypasses the whisker to form a friction bridge. Research shows that the crystal whisker reinforced ceramic material and the microcrystal Al2O3The presence of crack bridges is found in ceramics. Toughening for crack deflection is a way to toughen crack non-planar fracture effects. When the crack propagates and reaches the whisker, the crack is forced to deflect along the whisker, which means that the advancing path of the crack is longer, the stress intensity at the tip of the crack is reduced, the larger the deflection angle of the crack is, the lower the energy release rate is, the better the toughening effect is, and the fracture toughness is improved.
The silicon carbide whisker is a single crystal fiber with high orientation, has uniform components of a crystal phase, and has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, strong high-temperature oxidation resistance, wear resistance and the like. The silicon carbide whiskers are used as an excellent reinforcing and toughening agent and can reinforce various ceramic matrix composite materials. However, the conventional preparation method for enhancing the alumina-based ceramic by using the silicon carbide whisker also causes the density reduction of the ceramic material, and increases the defects of pores, microcracks and the like, thereby causing the reduction of mechanical properties of the material, such as bending strength and the like.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a preparation method of a silicon carbide whisker/alumina ceramic composite material, which can obviously improve the bending strength of the material.
The invention also provides a silicon carbide whisker/alumina ceramic composite material prepared by the preparation method.
In order to realize the purpose, the preparation method of the silicon carbide whisker/alumina ceramic composite material adopts the technical scheme that:
a preparation method of a silicon carbide whisker/alumina ceramic composite material comprises the following steps: carrying out oscillating pressure sintering on the composite powder to obtain the composite powder; the composite powder consists of silicon carbide whiskers and alumina powder.
The preparation method of the silicon carbide whisker/alumina ceramic composite material of the invention realizes dynamic pressure sintering by utilizing oscillating pressure sintering, can accelerate the discharge of closed pores at a crystal boundary during sintering and accelerate the densification process of a blank body through mechanisms such as rearrangement, diffusion and migration, thereby reducing the sintering temperature, shortening the sintering time and improving the hardness and the bending strength of the material, and simultaneously, the oscillating pressure sintering can also inhibit abnormal growth of crystal grains to ensure that the size and the shape of the crystal grains are more uniform, further improve the hardness and the bending strength of the material, so that the prepared composite ceramic material can meet the requirements of extreme application environments on high-performance ceramic materials.
In order to further improve the compactness of the prepared alumina ceramic composite material, the temperature T of the oscillating pressure sintering is preferably 1400-1800 ℃, more preferably 1500-1800 ℃ and further more preferably 1600-1700 ℃.
In order to sufficiently perform the sintering process, it is preferable that the temperature rise rate of raising the temperature to the temperature of the oscillating pressure sintering is not more than 8 ℃/min. For example, when the temperature T of the oscillating pressure sintering is less than or equal to 1600 ℃, the rate of heating to the oscillating pressure sintering temperature T is not more than 8 ℃/min. If the temperature T of the oscillating pressure sintering is more than 1600 ℃, the temperature is firstly increased to T at a first temperature-increasing rate of not more than 8 ℃/min1Then raising the temperature to the temperature T of the oscillating pressure sintering at a second temperature rise rate not more than 5 ℃, wherein T is not less than 1550 DEG C1T, the first temperature rise rate is larger than the second temperature rise rate. Further preferably, when the temperature T of the oscillating pressure sintering is less than or equal to 1600 ℃, the rate of heating to the oscillating pressure sintering temperature T is 6-8 ℃/min. When the temperature of the oscillating pressure sintering is higher than 1600 ℃, the temperature is increased to T at the speed of 6-8 ℃/min1Then heating to the temperature T of the oscillating pressure sintering at the speed of 3-5 ℃, wherein T is more than or equal to 1550 DEG C1< T, first rate of temperature riseThe rate > the second rate of temperature rise. Temperature T1Preferably 1600 deg.c. The rapid temperature rise is beneficial to densification and inhibition of grain growth, but the sintering time is short, and the material migration, diffusion and the like cannot fully act, so that the final densification degree of the sample is not high; and by quickly raising the temperature at low temperature and slowly heating at high temperature, better densification effect and microstructure can be obtained.
In order to further improve the mechanical property of the prepared alumina ceramic composite material, preferably, the oscillation pressure sintering pressure is subjected to oscillation with the amplitude of 1-10 MPa and the oscillation frequency of 1-10 Hz on the basis of a constant pressure of 20-50 MPa.

The average particle diameter of the alumina raw material powder is preferably 0.1 to 2 μm, and more preferably 0.2 to 0.5 μm. The drying temperature is preferably 70-90 ℃. The drying time is preferably 10-15 h.
In order to improve the toughness of the alumina ceramic composite material and ensure that the material has good bending strength, the mass ratio of the silicon carbide whiskers to the alumina powder is preferably 1:2 to 25, and more preferably 3.5 to 6.5: 1. The volume ratio of the silicon carbide whiskers to the alumina powder is 5-30: 95-70, and preferably 15-25: 75-85.
In order to improve the mechanical property of the alumina ceramic composite material and reduce the energy consumption of the oscillating pressure sintering, preferably, the time of the oscillating pressure sintering is not more than 3 hours, and more preferably 0.5 to 1.5 hours.
Preferably, before the oscillating pressure sintering, 20-50 MPa of pressure is applied to the composite powder.
