Description:

(abstract)

New deformation resistance ceramics can be used for engine and vehicle protection, aerospace components, plasma-facing ceramic parts, gas turbine operation, and other applications that require a balance of strength, toughness, and hardness.
I will discuss the resistance to ultrahigh-temperature deformation of boron carbide, Ta0.2Hf0.8C, TiB2-B4C, Zr-Ta multi-boride, Ta monoboride, and diboride. The idea behind the deformation-resistant ceramics (DRC) concept is that during densification, a novel or solid solution phase is formed that is more difficult to densify or deform. As a result, forming some of these phases is advisable only at elevated temperatures in situ during the densification process. In our experience, once the DRC phase is formed, it should require a temperature higher or equal to that of densification temperature to activate mass transport, thus yielding activation of plasticity at/above 2000°C.
The mechanism of ultra-high temperature flexure & strain-driven amorphization in polycrystalline B4C has been analyzed. With RT to 1800 °C mean strength of 650 MPa, B4C exhibits ultrahigh flexural strength far exceeding 1000 MPa, accompanied by a change in the deformation mechanism from brittle fracture to plastic deformation at 2000 °C. Depending on the loading rate, B4C ceramic showed 1000 - 8400 MPa strength with a plastic stress-strain curve. Even deformation in an elastic manner at 25 mm/min resulted in a strength of 675 MPa, confirming its deformation resistivity.
