Abstract
In this work, composite high-entropy carbides (WZrNbTaTi)C-x SiCw (x = 0, 5 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20 %) are prepared using the two-step fast hot-pressing sintering (TSFHPS) method. The whiskers in the samples are evenly dispersed and well integrated with the ceramic matrix, forming high density materials. The mechanical properties and tribological properties at room temperature are studied, revealing that the addition of SiCw improves the performance of the materials. When the whisker content is 15 %, the hardness and fracture toughness of composite ceramics are the highest, which are 22.6 GPa and 6.8 MPa m1/2, respectively. The bending strength of the samples increases monotonically with the increase of whisker content, and reaches 639.2 MPa at 20 % content. At the same time, the addition of an appropriate amount of SiCw prevents the propagation of micro-cracks and the expansion of oxidative wear, thereby reducing the friction coefficient and wear rate, and improving the wear resistance of high-entropy carbides.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
