Mechanical Properties and Oxidation Behaviors of Self-Healing SiCf/SiC-SiBCN Composites Exposed to H_(2)O/O_(2)/Na_(2)SO_(4)Environments

摘要

The oxidation behaviors and their influence on the mechanical properties of self-healing SiCf/SiC-SiBCN composites were investigated in H_(2)O/O_(2)and H_(2)O/O_(2)/Na_(2)SO_(4)environments at 1200‒1350℃for 100 h.As the temperatures increase from 1200 to 1350℃,the oxidation rate constants increase from 0.45×10^(–7)to 1.58×10^(–7)mg^(2)/(mm4 h)in H_(2)O/O_(2),and from 1.02×10^(–7)to 3.42×10^(–7)mg^(2)/(mm4 h)in H_(2)O/O_(2)/Na_(2)SO_(4).The involvement of Na_(2)SO_(4)leads to the formation of a loose lamellar oxide layer,the breakage of the SiBCN/CVI-SiC interface and the decrease in the oxide viscosity,thus accelerating the oxidation of the composites.The composites show the maximum retention rate of strength(102%,535.71 MPa)after oxidation in H_(2)O/O_(2)at 1200℃due to the good self-healing capacity of the produced glass,while the minimum(82%,430.56 MPa)in H_(2)O/O_(2)/Na_(2)SO_(4)at 1350℃caused by the severe microstructural corrosion derived from Na_(2)SO_(4).
