报告摘要:

This presentation will focus on the elevated temperature mechanical behavior of ZrB₂, ZrB₂-SiC, and ZrB₂-ZrC ceramics.  Ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) including ZrB₂ have been proposed for use in extreme environments associated with applications such as sharp leading edges of hypersonic flight vehicles, flow path components in scramjet propulsion, plasma-facing walls in nuclear fusion reactors, and ceramic inserts in lightweight armor systems.  These applications expose UHTCs to heat fluxes, temperatures, radiation levels, or strain rates that are beyond the capabilities of current structural materials.  However, previous studies of the elevated temperature mechanical properties of these materials have typically only reported data for one material, been limited to temperatures of ~1500°C, and have not provided insight into the mechanisms that limit strength at elevated temperatures.  In this presentation, the ultra-high temperature flexure strength, fracture toughness, and elastic modulus were measured from room temperature up to at least 2200°C with further analysis performed to identify strength-limiting flaws and failure mechanisms at elevated temperatures.  After analyzing the properties of the conventional ZrB₂ and ZrB₂-SiC ceramics, insights into the mechanical behavior at ultra-high temperatures were used to design ZrB₂-ZrC ceramics with improved strength at temperatures above 2000°C.  The desired attributes were determined to be high relative density, increased eutectic temperature compared to ZrB₂-SiC, and a final grain size of more than 5 µm.  The resulting ceramics had a room temperature strength of ~700 MPa, but retained strengths of nearly 300 MPa up to 2300°C.  Additional speculation will be provided about the characteristics desired for materials with the highest possible strength and fracture toughness at temperatures above 2000°C.
