Abstract
In order to investigate the effect of refractory metal on the high temperature properties of phenolic resin matrix composites, modified quartz fiber reinforced ceramizable composites were prepared by a molding process with a refractory component, tungsten, as the functional component and boron carbide as the ceramic forming agent. The effects of the tungsten and the boron carbide on the heat resistance of the composite were investigated. The results showed that the introduced refractory metal tungsten and the boron carbide can react to form tungsten borides and tungsten carbides at high temperature, and form a ceramic layer on the surface of the composite, which can fill the defects caused by pyrolysis of matrix and improve the high temperature performance of the composite. When the content of boron carbide was 10 wt% and the content of tungsten powder was 30 wt%, the flexural strength of the composite before and after heat treatment at 1200 °C were increased by 54.6% and 30.2% respectively compared with that without filler.
