For this purpose, a coupled thermal–diffusive–mechanical modeling approach was proposed by considering three important phenomena that occurs during the pyrolysis process for manufacturing CMCs: variations of the physical and mechanical properties of the constituents, generation and diffusion of pyrolysis gas, and multiple thermal deformations. The synergistic effects of these three phenomena on the stress, damage development, microstructural morphology, and process deformation of SiC matrix composites were investigated using finite-element simulations. This new approach was validated by comparing the simulation and experimental results. Significant volume shrinkage of the matrix during the polymer-to-ceramic transformation resulted in large tensile stresses and subsequent highly fragmented microstructure in the CMCs. The pyrolysis-gas-induced expansion on the matrix under damage state may yield a positive process deformation of CMCs at the macroscale, overcoming the effects of the volume shrinkage of the bulk matrix at the microscale. The modeling approach is expected to guide high-quality manufacturing of CMCs and comprehensive studies of structure-processing-property relationships.","PeriodicalId":14862,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Ceramics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135510340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The innovative KCl treatment was originally intended to introduce nanopores through the selective dissolution of KCl from a mixture of thermoelectric materials and KCl. However, it unexpectedly induced substantial variations in the material composition and microstructure during the subsequent spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. The hydroxyl groups adsorbed on the powder surface during the dissolution resulted in the emergence of a Bi<sub>2</sub>TeO<sub>5</sub> secondary phase within the BTS matrix after the SPS process at 450 °C. The concentration of Bi<sub>2</sub>TeO<sub>5</sub> increased with an increase in the KCl content. Furthermore, a remarkable grain growth occurred at low KCl concentrations, likely due to the liquid-phase formation in a Te-rich composition during SPS. However, excessive Bi<sub>2</sub>TeO<sub>5</sub> at higher KCl concentrations hindered grain growth. These variations in the microstructure had complex effects on the electrical properties: the Te<sub>Bi</sub> antisite defects increased the electron concentration, and Bi<sub>2</sub>TeO<sub>5</sub> reduced the electron mobility. Additionally, the lattice thermal conductivity decreased due to the presence of Bi<sub>2</sub>TeO<sub>5</sub>, from 0.8 Wm<sup>-1</sup>K<sup>-1</sup> at 298 K for the pristine BTS to 0.6 Wm<sup>-1</sup>K<sup>-1</sup> at 298 K for the BTS treated with 1 wt% KCl.
