Abstract
This work aims at understanding the oxidation mechanism of a TiC–SiC nanocomposite ceramic material. Samples were subjected to heat treatments up to 1400°C under air, varying the relative density of the composite, the heating rate, and the dwell time. The weight variations were followed by thermogravimetric analyses coupled with mass spectrometry. The oxidized samples were then characterized by scanning electron microscopy on cross-sections (SEM-EDX) and their microstructure and composition were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM-EDX). The oxidation process was also followed by in situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction and high-temperature environmental scanning electron microscopy. Until 1000°C, the formation of a multilayer alteration scale was observed, with a dense and protective SiO2 layer. Above 1200°C, this layer showed cracks, and the oxidation was increased. Based on the results, a three-step mechanism was proposed for the temperature-dependent conversion of TiC and SiC to the subsequent oxides.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials.
Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas:
Enabling materials for grand challenges[...]
Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...]
Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...]
Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...]
JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
