文摘
The combined effects of high-energy ball milling (HEBM) and reactive spark plasma sintering (R-SPS) of HfSi2 and C powder mixture on the densification and microstructure of nanostructured HfC-SiC composites were investigated. HEBM significantly promoted the densification and improved the microstructure of the HfC-SiC composites. In contrast, the reactions between HfSi2 and C did not directly promote the densification of the HfC-SiC composites. While the reaction was mostly completed at 1300 °C, the onset temperature of significant densification was 1610 °C. Fine and homogeneously distributed HfC and SiC particles formed by HEBM and R-SPS were the key factors for promoting the densification of the HfC-SiC composites. The fine particles had high surface energy, which provided enough driving force for densification. In addition, the homogeneously distributed SiC particles effectively suppressed the growth of HfC matrix grains during densification.
