摘 要:Porous ultrahigh temperature ceramics(UHTCs) are potential candidates as reusable thermal protection materials of transpiration cooling system in scramjet engine. However, low strength and low porosity are the main limitations of porous UHTCs. To overcome these problems, herein, a new and simple in-situ reaction/partial sintering process has been developed for preparing high strength and high porosity porous YB2C2. In this process, a simple gas-releasing in-situ reaction has been designed, and the formation and escape of gases can block the shrinkage during sintering process, which is favorable to increase the porosity of porous YB2C2. In order to demonstrate the advantages of the new method, porous YB2C2 ceramics have been fabricated from Y2O3, BN and graphite powders for the first time. The as-prepared porous YB2C2 ceramics possess high porosity of 57.17%–75.26% and high compressive strength of 9.32–34.78 MPa.The porosity, sintered density, radical shrinkage and compressive strength of porous YB2C2 ceramics can be controlled simply by changing the green density. Due to utilization of graphite as the carbon source, the porous YB2C2 ceramics show anisotropy in microstructure and mechanical behavior. These features render the porous YB2C2 ceramics promising as a thermal-insulating light-weight component for transpiration cooling system.
