Abstract
Yttrium-containing ceramics exhibit excellent resistance to water-oxygen corrosion, making them an attractive choice as the modified matrix for SiCf/SiC composites. However, the oxidation products of yttrium-containing ceramics are complex and vary widely in performance. In this study, YSOC ceramics, which are composed of yttrium silicate, SiO2, and SiC, were prepared using Y2O3, SiO2, SiC, and Li2CO3. This research investigated the effects of high temperatures, air oxidation, and water-oxygen corrosion on the phase compositions of YSOC ceramics. The influence of environmental factors on the synthesis and decomposition of yttrium silicate was analyzed. Moreover, the study explored the compatibility of different oxidation products with SiC. The results suggest that Y2SiO5 and Y2Si2O7 are formed through the low eutectic of SiO2, Y2O3, and Li2CO3. The high SiO2 content likely contributes to the relatively low formation temperature of Y2Si2O7. In the oxidizing environment, Y2SiO5 reacts with SiO2 to produce Y2Si2O7. Conversely, in the water vapor-containing atmosphere, Y2Si2O7 undergoes hydrolysis to form Y2SiO5. Y2Si2O7 displays a reduced elastic modulus in comparison to SiC fibers and exhibits favorable physical and chemical compatibility with SiC fibers. However, the hydrolysis of Y2Si2O7 may potentially affect the water-oxygen corrosion resistance of the ceramics. These findings will significantly advance research and enhance understanding of the water-oxygen corrosion behaviors of yttrium-containing matrix-modified composites.
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.
