Abstract
ABSTRACT The ZrB2–SiC–LaB6 composite prepared by spark plasma sintering with B4C and C as additives was isothermally exposed in air at 1500°C for 24 h and the evolved oxide scale examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. It was found that a glassy borosilicate (BSG) layer with a thin film of La2Si2O7 had formed on the outermost surface of oxide scale, contributing to protection against oxidation. The detailed investigation of the cross-section of the oxide scale has revealed the formation of a layered microstructure formed by growth involving partial crystallisation of BSG forming ZrSiO4 along with re-precipitation of La2Si2O7 and ZrO2 after prior dissolution of La2O3 and ZrO2 in the glassy matrix.
期刊介绍:
Philosophical Magazine Letters is the rapid communications part of the highly respected Philosophical Magazine, which was first published in 1798. Its Editors consider for publication short and timely contributions in the field of condensed matter describing original results, theories and concepts relating to the structure and properties of crystalline materials, ceramics, polymers, glasses, amorphous films, composites and soft matter. Articles emphasizing experimental, theoretical and modelling studies on solids, especially those that interpret behaviour on a microscopic, atomic or electronic scale, are particularly appropriate.
Manuscripts are considered on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to Philosophical Magazine Letters , that they have not been published already, and that they are not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
