Abstract
The limitations of oxide/oxide ceramic matrix composites lie in the need to improve their mechanical properties. It is challenging to reconcile the conflict between matrix densification at high temperature and the potential thermal damage to fibers. The concept of using element doping to control the sintering behavior of matrix was initially applied to prepare alumina-based ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). To lower the sintering temperature of the Al2O3 matrix, MnO2 dopant was used as a sintering aid. As a result, the thermal damage to alumina fibers was decreased, and the mechanical properties of the composite were significantly enhanced. The effect of MnO2 content on the bending strength and micro-morphology of the composite was investigated. The composite exhibits optimal mechanical properties with a 0.01 wt% MnO2 doping, and its bending strength is approximately 405 MPa. The investigation aimed to determine the mechanism by which the fluctuation in micro-mechanical properties of the composites with different MnO2 contents. After the thermal aging at 1000℃ for 500 h, the bending strength of the N610/Al2O3-0.01 composite decreases to 297 MPa. The evolution and mechanism of thermal aging damage have been studied.
