Description

Preparation method of high-entropy boride-silicon carbide composite ceramic
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of ceramics, and particularly relates to a preparation method of high-entropy boride-silicon carbide composite ceramic.
Background
Hypersonic aircraft have a high flight speed, and the nose cone or the front edge part of the wing is impacted by airflow to cause the surface temperature to rise sharply, so that serious ablation is generated. In order to effectively protect the aircraft, the high temperature resistance, high thermal conductivity and oxygen ablation resistance of the thermal protection material become particularly important. The superhigh temperature ceramic is widely used in a heat protection system due to the characteristics of high melting point, high heat conductivity, ablation resistance and the like, but is easy to oxidize and ablate to cause material failure in a complex flying environment. To further accommodate the demand for aircraft thermal protection materials, it is imperative to develop new materials.
The high entropy ceramic is a single-phase solid solution compound composed of anions or cations of not less than four elements in equimolar or approximately equimolar ratio. The unique high entropy effect, lattice distortion effect, delayed diffusion effect and cocktail effect make it possess better physical and chemical performance than single component or two component compound. The high-entropy boride powder of four different components such as Ti 0.2Hf0.2Zr0.2Nb0.2Ta0.2)B2 and the like is prepared by a fusion auxiliary synthesis method in literature 1"Ye B,Fan C,et al.Synthesis of high-entropy diboride nanopowders via molten salt-mediated magnesiothermic reduction[J].Journal of the American Ceramic Society,2020,103(9):4738-4741."Beilin Ye and the oxidation resistance of the powder is tested by utilizing thermogravimetric analysis, and the result shows that the initial oxidation temperature and the obvious weight increase temperature of the high-entropy boride ceramic are obviously higher than those of single-component boride, the literature 2"Gild J,Zhang Y,Harrington T,et al.High-entropy metal diborides:a new class of high-entropy materials and a new type of ultrahigh temperature ceramics[J].Scientific reports,2016,6(1):1-10."Gild J and the like prepare 6 high-entropy metal boride ceramics (such as Ti 0.2Hf0.2Zr0.2Nb0.2Ta0.2)B2 and the like) which have single-phase close-packed hexagons and have uniform element distribution through a mechanical alloying combined discharge plasma sintering method, and the high-entropy ceramics are found to have small weight increase and improved oxidation resistance after being oxidized compared with single-component ceramics due to the hysteresis diffusion effect.
In order to further improve the oxidation and ablation resistance of the high-entropy boride, the high-entropy boride-silicon carbide composite ceramic is prepared by introducing silicon carbide. In the oxidation process, the SiC is actively oxidized and the SiO is outwards diffused to form a glassy SiO 2 protective layer, so that further corrosion of oxygen is prevented, and the antioxidation ablation performance of the complex-phase ceramic can be better improved. The preparation method of the complex phase ceramic mainly includes pressureless sintering method, pressure assisted sintering method, field assisted sintering method, etc., for example, patent CN109987941B is a high entropy ceramic composite material with oxidation resistance and its preparation method and application, the (Ti 0.2Hf0.2Zr0.2Mo0.2Cr0.2)B2 powder and SiC powder are uniformly mixed according to a certain proportion, then SPS sintering is adopted to make them compact, the relative density of the prepared complex phase ceramic can reach 95% -99.9%, after heat treatment the weight change is less.

The ceramics prepared in the above examples are described below.
Fig. 2 is a BSE and point sweep spectrum of the HEB-SiC ceramic prepared in example 2, and analysis of the internal morphology of the ceramic reveals that the degree of graphitization of the carbon is low and the reaction with silicon is insufficient, resulting in a small amount of residual carbon and residual silicon. When the liquid silicon permeates into the ceramic, a molten salt environment is created, the thermal motion of each atom is promoted, the further solid solution of the high-entropy boride becomes a uniform single-phase solid solution, and a layer of free silicon is dispersed around the high-entropy boride. Si has a slower diffusion rate than the reaction rate with carbon, and the graphitization degree of the carbon is lower, so that a layer of SiC is generated when Si does not reach the surface of the carbon, and Si is prevented from further reacting with the carbon in the silicon, so that a sandwich structure is formed on the SiC layer, silicon-rich SiC is generated near a silicon region, and a carbon-rich SiC region is generated near the carbon region.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional morphology of a sample oxidized at 1550℃for 100 hours and a corresponding EDS spectrum, and it is seen from FIG. 3 that the oxide thickness is about 45 μm, the oxide layer on the upper surface is more tightly bonded, and the oxide layer close to the substrate is more loosely bonded; the holes left on the Si outflow surface of the Si-rich region in the matrix indicate that the surface oxide layer is mainly a glassy oxide layer formed by the reaction of free Si diffused to the surface of the sample and oxygen. The ceramics prepared in the other examples are similar to the results and will not be described in detail.
