High-temperature internal friction, stiffness and strength of Zr-Al(Si)-C ceramics

摘要

The temperature dependence of internal friction, stiffness and strength of Zr-Al(Si)-C ceramics was studied. For glass-free Zr-Al(Si)-C ceramics, the internal friction curve followed an exponential-like background. For liquid-phase-sintered Zr_3Al_3C_5, an internal peak present at 1590 K revealed the grain-boundary sliding due to wetting of glass phase at grain boundaries and triple junctions. Zr-Al(Si)-C ceramics exhibited high degrees of stiffness and strength at high temperatures up to 1600 and 1400 deg C, respectively, which render them good high-temperature structural materials.
