Abstract
To investigate the influence of (Ta,Zr)C on the ablation resistance of C/C composites, C/C-(Ta0.5Zr0.5)C-SiC, C/C-(Ta0.33Zr0.67)C-SiC, and C/C-(Ta0.2Zr0.8)C-SiC were prepared with different Zr/Ta ratios through high-solid-loading slurry impregnation combined with precursor infiltration and pyrolysis. The flexural performance and ablation resistance both improved with an increasing Zr/Ta ratio. Compared to C/C-(Ta0.5Zr0.5)C-SiC and C/C-(Ta0.33Zr0.67)C-SiC, the flexural strength of C/C-(Ta0.2Zr0.8)C-SiC increased by 74.17 % and 24.29 %, respectively. The mass ablation rate was reduced by 74.33 % and 81.02 %, while the linear ablation rate was reduced by 98.60 % and 97.65 % after 120 s of ablation, respectively. The variations in Zr/Ta ratios affected the formation, integrity, and performance of the microstructure, which was composed of a Zr-rich oxide skeleton combined with Ta-rich oxide binder within the Ta-Zr-O oxide layer on the composite surface, ultimately enhancing the overall ablation resistance of these composites.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the European Ceramic Society publishes the results of original research and reviews relating to ceramic materials. Papers of either an experimental or theoretical character will be welcomed on a fully international basis. The emphasis is on novel generic science concerning the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of polycrystalline ceramics consolidated at high temperature. Papers may relate to any of the conventional categories of ceramic: structural, functional, traditional or composite. The central objective is to sustain a high standard of research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.
