Abstract
A high performance and low cost C/C–ZrC composite was prepared by chemical vapor infiltration combined with zirconium–silicon (Zr: 91.2at.%; Si: 8.8at.%) alloyed reactive melt infiltration. The density of the as-received composite is 2.46g/cm3 and the open porosity is 5%. Due to the reaction between the pyrolytic carbon and Zr–Si alloy in the composite, ZrC and Zr2Si phases were formed, the formation and distribution of which were investigated by thermodynamics and phase diagram. The as-received C/C–ZrC composite, with the flexural strength of 239.5MPa, displayed a pseudo-ductile fracture behavior. Ablation properties of the C/C–ZrC composite were tested by a pulse laser. The linear ablation rate was 0.028mm/s. A ZrO2 barrier layer was formed on the ablation surface and the composite presented excellent ablation resistance.
