Abstract
The low coefficient of thermal expansion of SiC ceramics poses a significant challenge in selecting a compatible filler material for achieving high-quality joints. In this study, a composite adhesive was developed by blending vinylhydridopolycarbosilane (VHPCS) with nano-sized SiC particles to facilitate the pre-joining of SiC ceramics at 200 °C. The pre-assembled structures were subsequently joined using spark plasma sintering. The joining mechanism involves the use of VHPCS as an interlayer medium, where the application of elevated temperature and pulsed electric current promotes interfacial bonding between the joining layer and the SiC substrate. As a result, a homogeneous SiC ceramic joint, structurally compatible with the substrate, was successfully formed at 1700 °C. This approach provides a reliable joining technique for expanding the application of SiC ceramics in extreme environments.
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.
