Thermal damage and microstructure evolution mechanisms of Cf/SiBCN composites during plasma ablation
2020
Abstract Ablation behavior and thermal damage mechanisms of Cf/SiBCN composites were investigated in plasma ablation flame under a heat flux of 4.02 MW/m2, simulating a hypersonic service environment at ∼2200 °C. Oxide layer formed on the composites surface effectively protects internal Cf/SiBCN composites from further ablation. However, the internal Cf/SiBCN composites endure severe thermal damage and complex reactions, leading to decomposition of SiBCN matrix and formation of α/β-SiC, β-Si3N4 grains, amorphous C layer and ring-like SiC layer. Based on detailed microstructure and phase composition analysis, thermal damage and microstructure evolution mechanisms of Cf/SiBCN composites during plasma ablation are clarified.
