Abstract
To improve the oxidation resistance of ZrB2, a novel SiC whisker (SiCw) reinforced ZrB2-MoSi2 composite powder was prepared via spray granulation. Its oxidation kinetics were investigated using non-isothermal thermos gravimetric analysis. The findings demonstrate that ZrB2-SiCw-MoSi2 powder exhibits high thermal stability. The incorporation of SiCw and MoSi2 into ZrB2 not only reduces the mass gain by 8.3 % but also elevates the activation energy to 568.35 kJ/mol. This enhanced oxidation resistance is attributed to the formation of a mixed oxide layer, which effectively hinders oxygen diffusion. The oxidation mechanism is best described by the Avrami-Erofeev equation (n = 3/2), indicating nucleation and growth dominated kinetics.
