摘要

The 2D Cf/ZrC-ZrB2 composites are fabricated using the reactive metal infiltration (RMI) process. Zirconium metal chips with a melting temperature of 1850 °C were infiltrated into porous Cf/C-B4C preform by capillary action at a temperature of 2000 °C to obtain Cf/ZrC-ZrB2 composites. Flexural strength of composite specimen was determined in in-plane and out-of-plane directions using three-point bend test fixture on UTM (Instron 5967) as per ASTM C1341 standards. The Cf/ZrC-ZrB2 composite show flexural strength of 86.94 MPa in in-plane direction and 83 MPa in out-of-plane direction. Fracture toughness was determined using specimen with mid-span notch on same fixture as used for flexural test and applying the load in direction of the notch. Fracture toughness of 2.24 MPa \(\sqrt m\) m is achieved in-plane direction and 2.49 MPa \(\sqrt m\) m in out-of-plane direction. Evidence of crack propagation was captured in SEM images. All the phases present in the composite are confirmed by x-ray diffraction, and all elements are detected in energy-dispersive spectrum mapping.
