Definitions

• the invention relates to the production of high temperature resistant material in an oxidizing medium, especially in the presence of air, water vapor and, more generally, in the presence of any gaseous or liquid phase containing oxygen or one of its compounds. .
• the invention relates in particular to the production of a piece of refractory material capable of constituting a resistant protection in an oxidizing medium at high temperature.
• the invention also relates to the high-temperature protection in an oxidizing medium of thermostructural composite materials comprising at least part of carbon, the fibers constituting the fibrous reinforcement of these materials being most of the time carbon fibers, the densification matrix of these fibers. materials which may be partly or wholly of carbon, or of a material other than carbon.
• the invention relates more particularly, but not exclusively, to carbon / carbon (C / C) thermostructural composite materials which consist of a carbon fiber reinforcement densified by a carbon matrix.
• thermostructural composite materials are characterized by their mechanical properties which make them suitable for constituting structural parts and by their capacity to retain these mechanical properties at high temperatures.
• the composite materials when they contain carbon, the composite materials have the important disadvantage of oxidizing at 400 ° C in air or in an oxidizing medium and losing some of their thermostructural properties.

• HfB 2 hafnium diboride
• ZrB 2 zirconium diboride
• ZrB 2 and HfB 2 form, under an oxidizing atmosphere, a porous refractory oxide at a temperature above 2000 ° C and a liquid phase B2O3 (melting temperature of about 450 ° C).
• this last liquid phase B2O3 evaporates almost completely when the temperature is above 1800 ° C.
• HfB 2 and ZrB 2 By adding SiC to HfB 2 and ZrB 2 , the oxidation of these compounds leads to a porous refractory skeleton Hf0 2 or Zr0 2 (temperature resistant) coated on the surface by a viscous liquid phase consisting of SiO 2 which has the property to decrease the amount of oxygen diffusing through the oxide layer, and therefore to reduce the rate of oxidation of the protective material.
• the melting temperature of the silica is around 1700 ° C and the boiling temperature is 2700 ° C. At temperatures above 2000 ° C, the silica is in liquid form. Numerous studies have shown that the formation of the initial Si0 2 layer is very fast (quasi-instantaneous nucleation). In addition, the oxidation reaction results in a significant increase in the volume of the material associated with the molar volume variation of one mole of SiO 2 with respect to one mole of SiC. Moreover, its coefficient of thermal expansion is low, allowing a good thermal compatibility with the other layers of refractory oxides present having a thermal expansion coefficient often much higher than that of the composite material. This significant increase in volume and the low permeability of oxygen in silica explain the protective nature of SiO 2 , which is an effective barrier to oxygen diffusion. This is a special case of passive oxidation.
• the object of the invention is to provide a refractory material resistant to high temperature, in particular to oxidation at temperatures greater than or equal to 2000 ° C., under pressure conditions ranging from very low pressure (> 1 Pa) up to at higher values (> 30 MPa).
