In this study, a WC-containing SiOC glass-ceramic was synthesized via pyrolysis and SPS. The sintering behavior, phase composition, and microstructure of the ceramics were investigated. The results showed that increasing the sintering temperature enhanced the densification of the ceramics and reduced the disorder of free carbon in SiOC. Furthermore, the incorporation of WC particles effectively improved the mechanical properties of the ceramics.
In this work, a tungsten carbide (WC)-containing silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) glass-ceramic was prepared from WCfilled polysiloxane via pyrolysis and subsequent spark plasma sintering (SPS). The sintering behavior of SiOC was investigated by monitoring the densification temperature and shrinkage displacement. The phase composition and microstructure of ceramics were characterized by using FTIR, XRD, SEM, Raman spectrum, and optical microscope. It was shown that upon increasing the sintering temperature from 1400 degrees C to 1600 degrees C, the densification of ceramics was further improved, and the disorder of free carbon in SiOC was linearly decreased with sintering temperature. In addition, it was found that the incorporation of WC particles was effective to reinforce the mechanical properties of ceramics, and relevant strengthening mechanisms were discussed here. Finally, a correlation between phase composition, microstructure, and macroscopic performances of SiOC glass-ceramics was successfully derived.
