A method for preparing high-entropy ceramic matrix composites by a reactive infiltration process

Abstract

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.
