Abstract
Different thermal treatments were performed to produce a protective coating on the surface of SiC particles in order to allow their incorporation in a glass matrix. These oxidation treatments were carried out in air at different temperatures ranging from 800 °C to 1500 °C and different times at 1200 °C (10 min–48 h). The oxidation kinetics followed the Deal–Grove model and the thickness of the protective coating increased with temperature and SiC particle size. Protected SiC particles with different particle sizes were incorporated in a borosilicate glass. With small particles sizes foam glasses were obtained, whereas particles with higher grain size, i.e., higher coating thickness, were stable in the glass matrix and a smooth glass was obtained.
