Description

Method for preparing whisker toughened ceramic matrix composite by dynamic pressure flash firing
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of ceramic material preparation, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a whisker toughened ceramic matrix composite material by dynamic pressure flash firing.
Background
The whisker toughened ceramic matrix composite is an effective measure for improving the brittleness of ceramics, and is a research hotspot in the direction of high-performance structural ceramics at home and abroad. However, since the rigid ceramic whiskers hardly shrink during sintering, when the ceramic matrix shrinks, hoop tensile stress and radial tensile stress are generated around the ceramic whiskers, which prevents the ceramic matrix from further shrinking, and makes it difficult to densify the composite material. Therefore, it is urgently needed to develop a new method to solve the problem that the whisker toughened composite material is difficult to sinter.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the present invention aims to provide a method for preparing a whisker toughened ceramic matrix composite material by dynamic pressure flash firing, so as to solve the problems that the whisker toughened ceramic matrix composite material is difficult to sinter and the composite material is difficult to densify.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a method for preparing a whisker toughened ceramic matrix composite material by dynamic pressure flash firing comprises the following steps:
1) uniformly mixing the crystal whisker and the ceramic powder to prepare ceramic mixed powder;
2) pressing the ceramic mixed powder into a ceramic green body;
3) placing the ceramic blank body in a furnace body, heating the furnace body to a certain temperature, applying an electric field to the ceramic blank body for flash firing, applying oscillating pressure to the upper end and the lower end of the ceramic blank body while the flash firing is carried out, and carrying out dynamic pressure-assisted flash firing, forging and pressure sintering;
4) and after keeping the temperature for a certain time, stopping oscillating the pressure and the electric field, and cooling to obtain the whisker toughened ceramic matrix composite material.
Heating the furnace body to 500-1200 ℃ in the step 3); the electric field intensity is 50-300V/cm, and the current density is 60-200 mA/mm 2
The median value of the oscillation pressure in the step 3) is 10-150 MPa according to the area calculation, the amplitude value is 5-50 MPa, the frequency value is 0.5-20 Hz, and the power value of the product of the amplitude value and the frequency is not more than 200.
The application of the oscillating pressure in the step 3) may be performed before the flash combustion starts or after the flash combustion starts, but not later than the flash combustion stabilization phase.
The specific steps of the step 1) are as follows: the crystal whisker and the ceramic powder are ultrasonically dispersed in water to obtain ceramic slurry, and the ceramic slurry is subjected to rotary evaporation, grinding and sieving to obtain ceramic mixed powder, wherein the grain size of the ceramic mixed powder is 150 microns.
The whisker is as follows: the proportion of the ceramic powder is 5-30%: 70-95% of deionized water, wherein the amount of the deionized water is more than the total amount of the whiskers and the ceramic powder; the ultrasonic dispersion time is 6-48 h.
The whisker is SiC whisker and Al 2 O 3 Whisker and ZrO 2 One of the whiskers; the ceramic powder is ZrO 2 Powder of Al 2 O 3 One kind of powder.
And the heat preservation time in the step 4) is 5-30 min.
When the ceramic body is pressed in the step 2), the pressed ceramic body can be in various shapes, such as dog bone shape, cylindrical shape, strip shape and the like, and the shape can be selected according to the requirement.
And 3) after an electric field is applied to the ceramic blank, slowly increasing the current of the blank to a set value, then converting voltage control into current control, rapidly decreasing the voltage, entering a flash combustion stabilization stage, completely flash-combusting in the state, and preserving the heat under a preset current density.
The whisker toughened ceramic matrix composite material prepared by the method is adopted. The density of the composite material ranges from 96 percent to 99.8 percent, and the hardness is 17.5 to 23.5 GPa.
When an electric field and oscillation pressure are applied to a ceramic blank, the electric field and the oscillation pressure can be simultaneously applied to the upper pressing head and the lower pressing head at the upper end and the lower end of the ceramic blank, and the electric field is connected to the upper pressing head and the lower pressing head in two stages; oscillation pressure can be applied to the upper end and the lower end of the ceramic blank through upper and lower pressure, an electric field is applied to the ceramic blank in other directions, such as the left and right directions, the specific direction of the electric field can be adjusted according to the shape of the ceramic blank, and no fixed limitation exists.
In the present invention, it is well known that high strength structural ceramics are brittle and have limited plastic deformability, requiring higher temperatures to effect deformation. According to the invention, flash firing is selected during preparation, the flash firing process is about 3-30min, and the whisker toughened ceramic matrix composite material can realize large-degree plastic deformation at a lower temperature, so that low-temperature rapid sintering, rapid substance transmission and low-temperature superplastic deformation of the material are realized. Pure flash firing overcomes the problem of difficult sintering, but still does not overcome the problem of difficult material densification.
The invention applies pressure while flash burning is carried out, the pressure is selected not to be constant pressure but to be oscillating pressure, and the progress is not smooth while the oscillating pressure is applied, because the flash burning result directly influences whether the oscillating pressure can be applied or not. When the defects generated in the material by flash firing are too small, rapid deformation and densification cannot be achieved even if an oscillating pressure is applied. When the number of defects generated in the material by flash firing is too large, the defects are aggregated to form microscopic pores, and at this time, the pores cannot be removed even if an oscillating pressure is applied, thereby greatly reducing the performance of the material.
In the sintering process, the thermal field, the dynamic force field and the electric field are coupled, so that the sintering temperature is reduced under the coupling action, the densification speed is accelerated, and the ceramic matrix composite material with small grain size, less internal defects, stable whisker structure and high density is finally prepared.

Example 12:

Through detection, the density of the final sample reaches 96.8%, and the hardness reaches 15 GPa.
Example 13:
the difference from example 1 is that the zirconia powder was replaced with SiC powder.
Under the same conditions, no flash combustion occurs and no change occurs in the density, which indicates that the method of the invention is not applicable to all raw material types.
As seen from FIG. 1, the scanned image of the whisker toughened ceramic sample prepared in example 1 has no pores, which proves that the sample has higher density under the condition; as can be seen from fig. 2, the grain size is 230 nm. The presence of pores in the low power scan of the whisker toughened ceramic sample prepared in example 5, as seen in figure 3, demonstrates the lower density of the sample from this condition and the grain size is 350nm as seen in figure 4. From fig. 5, it can also be seen that there are still pores in the scanned image of the whisker toughened ceramic sample prepared in example 6, but the number of pores is less than that of fig. 3, demonstrating that the density is improved, but still less than that of fig. 1. Thus demonstrating the effectiveness of flash combined oscillatory forging.
The experiment shows that when the sintering process is finished at the temperature corresponding to the blackbody radiation temperature without flash burning, the required furnace temperature can be greatly improved, and the final sample has very low relative density and hardness within the same heat preservation time.
When the oscillating pressure is not applied and the constant pressure is used, it can be seen that the density of the synthesized sample is lower than that of the sample synthesized under the oscillating pressure in the same time, because the oscillating pressure accelerates the densification process, i.e. accelerates the sliding process or plastic deformation process of the grain boundary. The change is similar to the fatigue process in the metal material, and has great promotion effect on the improvement of compactness and performance.
When the electric field intensity is too high, the power in the flash process is increased sharply, so that too high heat is generated at the contact part of the electrode and the sample, and the sample is damaged. Thereby reducing the density and performance of the sample. When the electric field strength is too small, the initial condition of flash firing cannot be reached, and flash firing cannot occur at this time, so that the density of the sample cannot be improved.
When the current density is too high, the current-excited vacancies and defects are greatly increased, and part of the vacancies are gathered in the interior of the grains to generate pores, which cannot be removed by plastic deformation or grain boundary sliding, thereby reducing the compactness and the performance of the sample. When the current density is too small, the density brought by flash firing is lower, and the vacancy excited by the current is smaller, at the moment, even if oscillating pressure is applied, the densification and deformation processes are still controlled by diffusion, while in the densification and deformation processes controlled by diffusion, the oscillating force cannot play a role in promotion, and finally, the density and the deformation degree of the sample are mostly brought by flash firing, so the density and the performance are lower.
When the median value of the oscillating pressure is too small, dislocation or grain boundary slip caused by flash firing cannot be activated, and the densification and deformation processes are still mainly controlled by diffusion, so that the oscillating pressure has little influence on densification and deformation and has low performance.
When the median value of the oscillation pressure is too large, the material is deformed to a large extent, the defect excited by the current is not enough to regulate and control the strain caused by the large pressure, and a large number of air holes are generated in the sample to adapt to the large deformation, so that the density and the performance of the final sample are reduced on the contrary.
In the invention, the density test is carried out by an Archimedes drainage method, and the hardness test is carried out by a microhardness tester.
Finally, the above embodiments are only used for illustrating the technical solutions of the present invention and not for limiting, and other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by the technical solutions of the present invention by those of ordinary skill in the art should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
