Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of reaction-bonded silicon carbide bonding technology, and relates to a special ceramic bonding structure for reaction-bonded silicon carbide without solder diffusion and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Reaction-bonded silicon carbide (RSC) is widely used in high-temperature structural components, sealing and wear-resistant parts, semiconductor equipment, and advanced thermal engineering due to its comprehensive properties such as high strength, high hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature stability. With the increasing size and complexity of components, as well as the rising cost of integral molding, the assembly of ceramic components using joining methods has become an important engineering approach. However, RSC is a typical difficult-to-join material.
[0003] In existing technologies, the main methods for joining silicon carbide ceramics include metal brazing, active brazing, glass or glass-ceramic brazing, and reactive bonding. While metal brazing and active brazing are mature processes, the introduction of a metallic phase often leads to problems such as thermal expansion mismatch, decreased corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance, and may cause residual stress concentration and embrittlement of the interfacial reaction layer under thermal cycling conditions. Glass or glass-ceramic brazing can improve wetting and filling to some extent, but the traditional glass phase is prone to viscosity decrease and creep at high temperatures, and the bonding interface easily forms a continuous brittle oxide layer or a glass-rich phase region, resulting in insufficient high-temperature strength and long-term reliability. Reactive bonding methods typically rely on external reaction media or silicon infiltration to achieve in-situ silicon carbide generation, but the process window is sensitive, and it is difficult to simultaneously achieve interfacial reaction and infiltration, easily leading to defects such as residual pores, uneven reaction, or residual free silicon. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a special ceramic connection structure for reaction-bonded silicon carbide without solder diffusion and its preparation method. By microstructuring the connection surface and constructing a controllable pyrolytic carbon infiltration layer, free silicon in the matrix is allowed to self-infiltrate at the interface and react in situ with the carbon source to generate silicon carbide necks. Simultaneously, a composite glaze slurry containing nucleating components of glaze glass powder and ceramizable microcapsules is prepared to construct a gradient glaze layer. After connection and crystallization curing treatment, a dense, heat-resistant, and thermally cycling-resistant connection interface is obtained, thereby meeting the needs of actual production.
[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a solderless diffusion-free special ceramic connection structure of reaction-sintered silicon carbide, the method comprising:
[0007] S1, the reaction-bonded silicon carbide connector is processed to specifications, ground and polished, and processed by femtosecond laser. A slurry is sprayed on the non-connecting surface to obtain the sample to be connected.
[0008] S2, prepare an impregnation solution, impregnate, solidify and keep warm the sample to be bonded to obtain a pyrolytic carbon bonded sample;
[0009] S3, preparation of yttrium boron aluminum silicon nucleating powder and glaze glass powder;
[0010] S4, prepare silicon-oxygen-carbon ceramicized microcapsule powder, and mix it with the glaze glass powder to prepare a composite glaze slurry;
[0011] S5, the composite glaze slurry is sequentially formed into a wetting layer, a main layer and a sealing layer to obtain a gradient glaze layer to be connected sample. After aligning and assembling two gradient glaze layer to be connected samples, a heat preservation process is performed to obtain a metal-free solder diffusion connection structure blank. Then, after secondary crystallization and curing, a reaction sintered silicon carbide solder-free diffusion special ceramic connection structure is obtained.
[0012] The preparation method specifically includes:
[0013] S1. The reaction-bonded silicon carbide connector is sized, ground and polished, then cleaned and dried in anhydrous ethanol. The dried connecting surface is then processed by femtosecond laser. After laser processing, it is rinsed with anhydrous ethanol and dried. A slurry is sprayed on the non-connecting surface of the sample and dried to obtain the sample to be connected.
[0014] S2, after mixing anhydrous ethanol, n-butanol and deionized water, add nano carbon black N330, layered graphene and polyethyleneimine and disperse evenly to obtain a suspension. Add phenolic resin to the suspension to obtain an impregnation solution. Vertically immerse the connecting surface of the sample to be connected into the impregnation solution for impregnation and curing to obtain a permeable layer connected sample. Keep the permeable layer sample at a temperature to obtain a pyrolytic carbon connected sample.
[0015] S3, Yttrium nitrate hexahydrate and aluminum nitrate nonahydrate are dispersed in an ethanol-water solution, citric acid is added and the pH is adjusted to 2-3 to obtain a complex solution. Tetraethyl orthosilicate is added to ethanol, deionized water and nitric acid are added to obtain a hydrolysate. The hydrolysate is added dropwise to the complex solution and boric acid is added and stirred to obtain a sol. The sol is dried, calcined, ground, cooled, ground and sieved to obtain yttrium boron aluminum silicon nucleating powder. Silica, boron oxide, aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, sodium oxide, potassium oxide, zirconium oxide, titanium dioxide and yttrium boron aluminum silicon nucleating powder are mixed and kept at a first temperature. Then molten glass is water quenched and ball milled to obtain glaze glass powder.
[0016] S4, methylphenyl silicone resin and phenolic resin are dispersed in ethyl acetate, and Span-80 is added to obtain an oil phase. PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) is dissolved in deionized water to obtain an aqueous phase. Under shear conditions, the oil phase is added to the aqueous phase to obtain an emulsion. Tetraethyl orthosilicate is added dropwise to the emulsion and the pH is adjusted to 9-10. The reaction is stirred at a second temperature, filtered, washed, and dried to obtain silicon-oxygen-carbon ceramicized microcapsule powder. Glaze glass powder, silicon carbide powder, metallic silicon powder, boron carbide powder, anhydrous ethanol / terpineol mixed solvent and ammonium polyacrylate are ball-milled and dispersed, and then added to the silicon-oxygen-carbon ceramicized microcapsule powder to obtain a composite glaze slurry.
[0017] S5, the connecting surface of the pyrolytic carbon bonded sample is coated with a diluted composite glaze as a wetting layer. After drying, the composite glaze is coated to form the main layer. After drying, a capping glaze is prepared. Titanium dioxide is added to the composite glaze and dispersed evenly to obtain the capping glaze. The capping glaze is coated on the surface of the main layer to form the capping layer and dried. After drying, a gradient glaze layer to be bonded sample is obtained. Two gradient glaze layer to be bonded samples are aligned and assembled with the connecting surfaces facing each other. They are placed in a graphite fixture or hot press mold for a heat preservation process to obtain a metal-free solder diffusion bonding structure blank. The metal-free solder diffusion bonding structure blank is subjected to secondary crystallization and curing to obtain a reaction sintered silicon carbide solder-free diffusion special ceramic bonding structure.
[0018] After the connectors are sized and machined to specifications, a femtosecond laser forms microgrooves on the connecting surfaces, providing continuous capillary channels and diffusion paths. A composite coating of boron nitride and alumina sprayed on the non-connecting surfaces acts as an isolation layer, reducing oxidation and volatilization migration caused by direct contact between the external atmosphere and the substrate during heat treatment. In the impregnation step, carbon black and layered graphene are dispersed and stabilized in a mixed solvent and aqueous phase via polyethyleneimine adsorption. The amine groups of polyethyleneimine form an adsorption layer on the particle surface and provide electrostatic and steric hindrance effects, reducing agglomeration and maintaining the suspension system. After the addition of phenolic resin, it enters the microgrooves and near-surface micropores under pressure difference and capillary action. The curing process is essentially the condensation and cross-linking of phenolic resin, fixing the dispersed carbonaceous filler at the interface and near-surface region, forming a continuous organic network. Subsequently, under an inert atmosphere, the phenolic resin undergoes pyrolysis and carbonization, with low-molecular-weight pyrolysis products volatilizing and being discharged, and the residual skeleton transforming into pyrolytic carbon dominated by amorphous carbon.
[0019] In the preparation of yttrium boron aluminum silicon nucleating powder, yttrium salts and aluminum salts complex with citric acid in an ethanol-water medium. Tetraethyl orthosilicate hydrolyzes under acidic conditions to generate silanols, which then condense into a silicon-oxygen network. After the hydrolysate is added dropwise to the complexing system, the metal complex and the silicon-oxygen network co-assemble in the sol stage. Boric acid participates in the reconstruction of the silicon-oxygen network and changes the local coordination environment. Drying and calcination decompose the organic complexing agent, and the inorganic components undergo solid-phase reactions and rearrangements to form inorganic microphases. When the yttrium boron aluminum silicon nucleating powder is co-melted with glass raw materials, the silicon-oxygen and boron-oxygen networks constitute the glass matrix. Alkali metal and alkaline earth metal oxides regulate network fracture and ion migration. Alumina, zirconium oxide, and titanium dioxide participate in network reinforcement and affect crystallization behavior. The yttrium boron aluminum silicon nucleating powder exists in the molten glass as microscale enrichment regions or residual crystal nuclei, which form embedded nucleation sites after cooling.
[0020] The preparation of silicon-oxygen-carbon ceramic microcapsule powder is based on emulsification and sol-gel encapsulation mechanisms. Organosilicon resin and phenolic resin form the oil phase core, while polyvinyl alcohol stabilizes the aqueous phase interface to form dispersed oil droplets. Tetraethyl orthosilicate hydrolyzes and condenses under alkaline conditions, depositing at the oil droplet interface to form a silica shell. The composite glaze slurry consists of glaze glass powder, silicon carbide filler, metallic silicon, boron carbide, and microcapsules. The silicon carbide filler acts as an inert framework, restricting glass phase migration and providing a solid-phase framework compatible with the matrix. Metallic silicon can participate in local composition adjustment and liquid-phase sintering during heating. Boron carbide reacts with molten silicon in a high-temperature inert atmosphere to generate silicon carbide and trace amounts of silicon boride phases. Silicon boride is distributed at the grain boundaries of newly formed silicon carbide necks, acting as grain boundary pinning and inhibiting abnormal neck growth. Simultaneously, a small amount of boron diffuses into the adjacent glaze phase, improving the chemical compatibility between the glaze phase and the silicon carbide interface. The wetting layer uses diluted glaze slurry to reduce viscosity and enhance wetting of microgrooves and pyrolytic carbon channels, allowing glass powder and reactive components to enter the near-surface structure; the main layer provides a continuous glass phase and reaction medium; the capping glaze slurry is obtained by adding and dispersing titanium dioxide in the composite glaze slurry, and titanium dioxide can act as nucleation centers related to crystallization in the glaze phase.
[0021] During the docking assembly and connection insulation process, the organic matter further decomposes, and the microcapsule core gradually pyrolyzes. Upon entering the connection temperature zone, the free silicon in the reaction-sintered silicon carbide melts and migrates to the interface along the microgrooves and carbon pore network under the drive of pressure, wetting, and capillary action. The molten silicon reacts with the pyrolyzed carbon to form silicon carbide, which advances along the carbon source connection region and forms an in-situ silicon carbide neck. The in-situ silicon carbide formation process is accompanied by volume shrinkage, forming microscale voids around the newly formed silicon carbide neck. Simultaneously, the glaze glass phase continuously softens and wets the silicon carbide surface, penetrating the aforementioned microvoids with the help of external axial pressure and capillary driving force, achieving synchronous volume compensation for the reaction shrinkage of the glass phase, and keeping the neck region continuously and densely filled. The silicon carbide filler particles in the glaze glass powder act as a skeletal support in the softened glass phase, preventing excessive loss of the glass phase under pressure and maintaining the overall thickness and geometric stability of the interface layer. The glaze glass phase softens and wets the silicon carbide and the newly formed silicon carbide, filling the remaining space in the micropores and channels. The silica shell of the silicon-oxygen-carbon ceramicized microcapsule powder is prepared from tetraethyl orthosilicate using a sol-gel method under alkaline conditions, resulting in a microporous shell structure. During the heating range of 300–600℃, the organosilicon resin and phenolic resin within the shell undergo gradual pyrolysis. The pyrolysis products are mainly small-molecule hydrocarbons, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide. These gaseous products diffuse outward through the micropores of the shell, while the shell itself maintains its structural integrity without cracking. As the temperature continues to rise above the glass softening temperature of the glaze, the silica shell gradually dissolves into the softened glass phase. The released residual carbon from the core and the silicon-oxygen-carbon phase then enter the interfacial reaction zone to participate in carbonization and network construction. The residual carbon and silicon-oxygen-carbon phase generated by the pyrolysis of the silicon-oxygen-carbon ceramicized microcapsule powder provide additional carbon sources and a silicon-oxygen-carbon network near the interface. The silicon-oxygen-carbon phase and the silicon-oxygen network of the glass phase are structurally compatible and can serve as a transition phase to participate in the continuity of the interfacial chemical environment. During cooling, the viscosity of the glass phase increases and solidifies, fixing the interfacial morphology. During the secondary crystallization and solidification stage, the glaze glass containing yttrium boron aluminum silicon nucleating powder undergoes phase separation and crystallization under heat treatment. The crystal nuclei promote the formation and growth of the crystalline phase, and the glaze layer transforms from an amorphous network to a glass-ceramic structure containing the crystalline phase. Nucleation-related components such as titanium dioxide and zirconium oxide further influence the crystallization path and crystalline phase distribution, causing the sealing layer and the main layer to form a solidified closed layer. The final bonding interface is mainly provided by the in-situ generated silicon carbide neck, and the glass-ceramicized glaze layer undertakes the functions of pore filling and structural sealing.

[0087] Comparative Example 2
[0088] This comparative example provides a reaction-sintered silicon carbide solderless diffusion special ceramic connection structure and its preparation method. The difference between this and Example 1 is that impregnation and curing treatment is not performed in S2, and the inert atmosphere heat preservation pyrolysis step is not performed. Pyrolytic carbon penetration layer is not constructed on the connection surface and near the surface. Other process parameters and operating conditions are exactly the same as in Example 1.
[0089] Comparative Example 3
[0090] This comparative example provides a reaction-sintered silicon carbide solderless diffusion special ceramic connection structure and its preparation method. The difference between this and Example 1 is that yttrium boron aluminum silicon nucleating powder is not added when preparing the glaze glass powder in S3. Other process parameters and operating conditions are exactly the same as in Example 1.
[0091] Comparative Example 4
[0092] This comparative example provides a reaction-sintered silicon carbide solderless diffusion special ceramic connection structure and its preparation method. The difference between this example and Example 1 is that silicon-oxygen-carbon ceramic microcapsule powder is not added when preparing the composite glaze slurry in S4. Other process parameters and operating conditions are exactly the same as in Example 1.
[0093] The performance of the reaction-sintered silicon carbide solderless diffusion special ceramic connection structures prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4 was tested using the following methods:
[0094] The shear strength test method is ASTM C1469;
[0095] The airtightness test method is ISO 20485:2017;
[0096] The test method for residual free silicon content is ISO 21068-2 (take samples from the connection area).
[0097] The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0098] Table 1. Test results of reaction-sintered silicon carbide solderless diffusion-free special ceramic connection structures of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4
[0099] Example 1 80 <![CDATA[3×10 -8 ]]> 5.2 Example 2 82 <![CDATA[4×10 -8 ]]> 5.4 Example 3 81 <![CDATA[4×10 -8 ]]> 5.1 Example 4 80 <![CDATA[3×10 -8 ]]> 5.6 Comparative Example 1 43 <![CDATA[2×10 -7 ]]> 7.8 Comparative Example 2 27 <![CDATA[1×10 -6 ]]> 13.5 Comparative Example 3 57 <![CDATA[7×10⁻ 8 ]]> 6.7 Comparative Example 4 46 <![CDATA[1×10 -7 ]]> 10.3
[0100] As shown in Table 1, compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 1 showed a decrease in shear strength, a decrease in airtightness, and an increase in residual free silicon content; Comparative Example 2 showed a decrease in shear strength, a decrease in airtightness, and an increase in residual free silicon content; Comparative Example 3 showed a decrease in shear strength, a decrease in airtightness, and an increase in residual free silicon content; and Comparative Example 4 showed a decrease in shear strength, a decrease in airtightness, and an increase in residual free silicon content.
[0101] This is because, in Comparative Example 1, without femtosecond laser processing of the interface and the construction of a microgroove array structure, capillary wetting and mechanical interlocking are weakened, making it difficult for the diluted glaze slurry to penetrate near the surface. Insufficient local wetting leads to unfilled areas and micropores, limiting the molten silicon reaction front, reducing interfacial continuity, decreasing strength and airtightness, and increasing free silicon residue. In Comparative Example 2, without a pyrolytic carbon penetration layer, the interface lacks a continuous carbon source and channel. Molten silicon is more likely to solidify into a silicon phase rather than transforming into newly formed silicon carbide. The bonding becomes dominated by a glassy phase, making it prone to debonding and cracking under thermal stress, increasing leakage rate and significantly increasing free silicon. In Comparative Example 3, when the glaze glass powder does not contain yttrium boron aluminum silicon nucleating powder, the secondary crystallization nucleation density decreases, the glassy phase becomes more continuous, the probability of amorphous residual stress and microcracks increases, and the strength and airtightness deteriorate. When the composite glaze slurry in Comparative Example 4 does not contain silicon-oxygen-carbon ceramicized microcapsule powder, it lacks an additional carbon source and silicon-oxygen-carbon transition network. The reaction filling and chemical coupling of molten silicon on the pores are weakened, the stress buffer of the glaze layer decreases, and the residual free silicon and through pores increase.
