Abstract:

A novel liquid ZrB2/SiC precursor was prepared by the blend of polyzirconoxane and polyborosilazane, which were used as zirconium, silicon, boron and carbon source. The precursor was transformed into ZrB2/SiC ceramic during the pyrolysis, and its pyrolytic behavior, phase composition and microstructure were studied by TGA, XRD and SEM-EDX. The results indicated that the ceramic sample remained amorphous until t-ZrO2 initially generated at 1500 ℃. Heating to 1600 ℃ led to the formation of ZrC via carbothermal reduction. Further heating to 1700 ℃ led to the formation of ZrB2. During heat treatments, the compact ceramic sample became porous due to formation of CO and NO. The ceramic powder with particle size of 100—300 nm consisted of high crystalline degree ZrB2 and SiC phases, and all the elements were well distributed in ceramic powders.
