Abstract
Graphite-based composite materials have emerged as a crucial alternative to traditional flake graphite for optimizing the performance of Al2O3-SiC-C (ASC) castables after decarburization. In this paper, high wetting SiC@C composites powder was prepared via a sol-gel method combined with a carbothermal reduction reaction, and its effect on the oxidation behavior of ASC castables is explored. The results showed that SiC@C composites was synthesized under microwave conditions at 1000 °C, forming a structure where SiC whiskers are coated. And its contact angle with water decreases from 107° to 35°. Upon incorporation into ASC castables, the SiC whiskers within the sample continued to grow and develop with increasing addition of graphite-based composite materials. At a 2 wt% addition, the SiC whiskers began to form a cylindrical structure. Simultaneously, both the cold crushing strength and cold modulus of rupture exhibited a gradual increase. At the optimal 2 wt% addition, these values reached their maximum, 79.5 MPa and 11.4 MPa, respectively. The substitution of graphite-based composite materials also conferred good oxidation resistance to the ASC samples. Under oxidizing atmosphere conditions, the SiC whiskers on the composite material's surface facilitated the formation of a SiO2 coating layer, which impeded the contact between oxygen and graphite, thereby enhancing the oxidation resistance of the material. Consequently, the oxidation index was reduced from 75.58 % to 42.71 %.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
