Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method for promoting to sinter zirconium boride or zirconium carbide ceramics by using reaction aids. Two-phase sintering aids capable of being reacted, namely Zr powder and C powder, or Zr powder and B4C powder, are added, and a material is promoted to be compact and crystals of a matrix are inhibited from growing by zirconium carbide/zirconium boride second phase particles with higher sintering activity, which are generated through in-situ reaction between the sintering aids. The ZrB2 or ZrC-based bulk material prepared by the method has the relative density of over 97 percent, the room temperature bending strength of 500-800MPa, the fracture toughness of 3.5-6.5MPa.ml/2, and the hardness of 14-20GPa. The second phase generated through the in-situ reaction has the same melting point as the matrix, and the sintering acids cannot bring adverse effect to the high temperature mechanical properties of the material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method for promoting sintering of zirconium boride or zirconium carbide ceramics by using a reaction aid, belonging to the field of non-oxide composite ceramics. Background technique [0002] The strong covalent bonds of transition metal borides and carbide ceramics endow them with high melting points and low self-diffusion coefficients. Generally, relative density ceramic sintered bodies can only be obtained under high temperature (>2000°C) and high pressure (>30MPa). Although adding a small amount of Ni, Fe and other metal sintering aids or S 3 N 4 、MoSi 2 Non-metallic sintering aids such as non-metallic sintering aids improve their sintering properties by generating liquid phases. However, the residual low-melting point phases at the grain boundaries or trifurcation grain boundaries of ceramics will adversely affect the high-temperature mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of ceramics. Theref...
