Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing boron carbide silicon carbide composite ceramic and belongs to the technical field of ceramic materials. The boron carbide silicon carbide composite ceramic is prepared by mechanically alloying three-element mixed powder of boron carbide, carbon powder and silicon powder and sintering by a reaction hot-pressing technology, wherein the three-element mixed powder comprises 50 to 90 weight percent of boron carbide powder, 15 to 3 weight percent of carbon powder and 35 to 7 weight percent of silicon powder; and the molar ratio of the carbon powder to the silicon powder is 0.8 to 1.2. The high-compactness boron carbide silicon carbide composite ceramic can be obtained at low temperature without adding a liquid phase sintering aid. Silicon carbide which is obtained through in-situ synthesis in the sintering process of carbon and silicon has high purity and the crystal grains are small and dispersed uniformly, so the mechanical property of the ceramic is improved. The boron carbide silicon carbide composite ceramic prepared by the method has high compactness, high hardness and high high-temperautre mechanical property and can serve as an anti-impact and wear-resistant part of precise structure engineering.

[0036] Example 1
[0037] A boron carbide silicon carbide composite ceramic, the mass ratio of boron carbide to silicon carbide in the boron carbide silicon carbide composite ceramic is 4:1, which consists of a ternary mixed powder of boron carbide, amorphous carbon powder and silicon powder through mechanical After alloying, it is sintered by reactive hot pressing technology. According to the weight percentage, the ternary mixed powder includes 80% boron carbide powder (purity 97%, particle size 75um), amorphous carbon powder 6 % (Purity is 98%, particle size is 1um), silicon powder 14% (purity is 99%, particle size is 75um).
[0038] The method for preparing the boron carbide silicon carbide composite ceramics of this embodiment, the specific steps include:
[0039] 1) Preparation of amorphous high-activity boron carbide, carbon and silicon composite powder

The weight percentages of boron carbide powder, amorphous carbon powder and silicon powder are 80%, 6% and 14%. The weighed boron carbide powder, amorphous carbon powder and silicon powder are first mixed by hand in agate grinding. The mixed powder and stainless steel grinding balls are placed in a stainless steel vacuum ball mill with a mass ratio of 40:1. The ball mill is evacuated, and then argon is injected. The ball mill is 100h, and the speed of the planetary ball mill is 250rpm;
[0041] ②Use 2mol/L hydrochloric acid to wash away the Fe impurities introduced in the powder during the ball milling process, and then wash the powder after suction filtration with deionized water for 3 times;
[0042] ③Put the acid-washed composite powder in a vacuum drying oven at 100°C for 24 hours, then grind it in agate grinding and pass through a 200-mesh sieve;
[0043] 2) Reaction hot pressing sintering
[0044] Put the composite powder prepared in step 1) into a graphite abrasive tool, separate the composite powder from the abrasive tool and the indenter with graphite paper, and put it into the hot pressing sintering furnace at 20℃/min in a vacuum atmosphere The temperature is raised to 1500°C for 10 minutes, then the temperature is raised to 1950°C at a rate of 10°C/min, the temperature is kept for 60 minutes, a pressure of 30MPa is applied, and the boron carbide silicon carbide composite ceramic can be obtained by natural cooling.
[0045] The properties of the obtained boron carbide silicon carbide composite ceramic samples are as follows: relative density 97.6%, Vickers hardness 29GPa, bending strength 501MPa, fracture toughness 4.9MPa.m 1/2.
[0046] by figure 1 It can be seen that the pre-mixed powder is obtained by mixing raw boron carbide powder, amorphous carbon powder and silicon powder. The XRD pattern contains strong boron carbide and silicon peaks. Because of the amorphous carbon used, the carbon peaks are not The composite powder after the pre-mixed powder undergoes step 1) ①, due to the effect of mechanical alloying, there is almost no obvious peak in the XRD display of the composite powder after the ball milling, indicating that the powder has Transform into a highly active amorphous state; the XRD of the boron carbide silicon carbide composite ceramic obtained after sintering only shows the peaks of boron carbide and silicon carbide, indicating that the composite ceramic only contains these two items, and silicon and carbon have completely reacted to form Silicon carbide.
[0047] by figure 2 It can be seen that the obtained boron carbide silicon carbide composite ceramics are almost completely dense, with only a few pores less than 0.5um in size, and the relative density of the sample is relatively high; the white silicon carbide generated in situ is evenly distributed in the gray boron carbide .
