Description

Carbon-based composite material separated by continuous silicon carbide ceramic framework, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of inorganic nonmetallic material preparation, and particularly relates to a carbon-based composite material separated by continuous silicon carbide ceramics, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Nuclear graphite is used as a structural material and a moderator of a high temperature gas cooled reactor due to its excellent neutron moderating ability, irradiation resistance and good high temperature stability. However, in the novel air-cooled micro-stack using air as a cooling medium, graphite material of the core reacts with oxidizing gas under high temperature condition (> 773K) to cause oxidation corrosion, thereby reducing mechanical and thermal properties of graphite and affecting service life of graphite members. The preparation of an oxidation-resistant ceramic coating on the surface of graphite is a common method for improving oxidation resistance and also achieves better effects [ inorganic materials theory, 2007,22 (4): 737-741 ]. However, due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficients of the coating and the matrix, once the coating is damaged by oxidation corrosion, the graphite matrix will rapidly oxidize, limiting the long-term use of graphite in high temperature oxygen environments. Therefore, the development of a novel nuclear graphite material which can be reliably used for a long time in a high-temperature oxygen-containing atmosphere has important strategic significance and practical value.
To overcome the above problems, researchers have attempted to develop ceramic reinforced graphite-based composite materials. For example, japanese eastern carbon researchers [ J.Eur.Ceram.Soc.,2014,34 (3): 837-840 ] prepared continuous reticular silicon carbide ceramic reinforced graphite composite material by using isotropic graphite powder and silicon nitride powder as raw materials and adopting a gel casting and reaction sintering process, found that the material only has surface oxidation after being oxidized for 10 hours in the air at 600 ℃, and the oxidation resistance of a graphite matrix is improved to a certain extent, but the oxidation reaction is not well inhibited because partial pores still exist in the SiC skeleton in the material. Researches (Ceram. Int.,2013, 39:81-86.) are carried out on the intermediate phase carbon microsphere green compact to carry out liquid phase siliconizing to prepare a compact reticular silicon carbide ceramic reinforced graphite composite material, and the formed compact silicon carbide ceramic skeleton separates and protects intermediate phase carbon microsphere particles, thereby improving the anti-ablative performance of the intermediate phase carbon microsphere green compact. However, due to the limitation of the preparation method, the silicon carbide ceramic skeleton of the composite material cannot completely and independently separate and protect the mesophase carbon microsphere particles, so that the oxidation separation inhibition effect of the ceramic skeleton cannot be fully exerted. From the above, the graphite matrix is separated and protected by using the continuous oxidation-resistant ceramic as the reinforcing phase through reasonable microstructure design and effective preparation method, which is an effective method for realizing the long-acting oxidation resistance of the nuclear graphite material. The silicon carbide layer is coated on the surface of the mesocarbon microbead by a molten salt method, and then the silicon carbide reinforced carbon-based composite material is successfully prepared by hot-pressing sintering, so that the mechanical property of the composite material can be improved to a certain extent [ a silicon carbide reinforced carbon-based composite material and a preparation method, chinese patent invention, ZL201910198813.9 ]. However, the lower reaction temperature of the molten salt method limits the increase of the thickness of the silicon carbide layer which is dominant by diffusion, the continuity of the ceramic reinforcing phase is poor, and the improvement of the oxidation resistance of the composite material is not obvious. The ceramic reinforced graphite-based composite material prepared by directly ball-milling and mixing ceramic and graphite powder and then sintering can accurately regulate and control the content of the reinforced phase, but agglomeration of graphite particles cannot be avoided, and the combination property between the ceramic and the graphite is poor. Thus, how to ensure ceramic reinforcement with respect to the separation of the graphite matrix and good interface bonding of the ceramic/graphite has been a great challenge and challenge.
