This invention discloses a method for preparing high-entropy
ceramic matrix composites using a reactive infiltration process, belonging to the technical field of
ceramic matrix composites. The steps are as follows: at least four single-component carbides are ball-milled and mixed with a
carbon source, then dispersed in a dispersion liquid to obtain a
slurry; continuous fibers are woven into a preform, and an
interface layer and a matrix layer are deposited to obtain a semi-dense
composite material; the
slurry is introduced through vacuum or pressure impregnation; and a high-entropy
carbide matrix is generated in situ and densified by reactive infiltration after embedding with a
transition metal and its
alloy. This invention solves the problems of long process cycles, high
porosity, high cost, and insufficient introduction of high-entropy ceramics in existing processes, achieving rapid densification and improving the material's high-temperature stability,
oxidation resistance, and
ablation resistance. It is suitable for the large-scale production of
thermal protection materials for hypersonic vehicles.
