Abstract
TiC, ZrC and TaC modified layers were in-situ prepared on graphite matrix by chemical vapor infiltration method with metal salts as the activator. Taking the TiC modified layer as an example, through thermodynamic calculation and experiment, the thermal decomposition process of raw materials (Ti/K2TiF6) was analyzed, the formation mechanism of TiC was determined, and the distribution of TiC modified layer was modulated. The results show that activator K2TiF6 has higher decomposition temperature than NH4Cl, which is conducive to improving the utilization rate of raw materials in the gas infiltration process. Increasing the content of Ti powder can increase the concentration of reaction gas and contribute to the formation of TiC modified layer. When the molar ratio of Ti to K2TiF6 is 3:1, the surface thickness and infiltration depth of TiC are 5.42 and 136.24 μm, respectively. Increasing the reaction temperature can improve the rate of in-situ reaction and the thickness of TiC surface layer. When the experimental temperature rises to 1600 °C, the TiC surface layer thickness increases to 20.27 μm.
