Abstract:
      Objective To fabricate HfB2-HfC-SiC ceramic modified C/C composites and investigate the ablation performance of the composites at ultra-high temperature. Methods Chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) combined with precursor impregnation & pyrolysis (PIP) method were used to fabricate HfC-SiC ceramic modified C/C composites(C/C-HfC-SiC) and HfB2-HfC-SiC ceramic modified C/C composites(C/C-HfB2-HfC-SiC). Atmospheric plasma torch was used to investigate the ablation performance of the composites. Results Linear ablation rates of C/C-HfC-SiC and C/C-HfB2-HfC-SiC composites at 2200 ℃ were 1.54×10-3 mm/s and 1.38×10-3 mm/s respectively. Conclusion The composites had unique microstructural features, with nano-sized HfB2 and HfC particles uniformly distributed in SiC phase. The liquid-phase SiO2 and the solid-phase HfO2 composite oxides film in situ formed on the surface of the composites could resist not only the erosion of high-speed gas flow, but also the inward diffusion of oxidative gases, which was the main cause for the excellent ablation resistance of the composites at ultra-high temperature.
