Mg-modified C/C-ZrC-SiC composites were fabricated by a sol-gel process, and the influence of the Mg/(Zr + Si) molar ratio on the properties of the composites was investigated. The results showed that Mg addition improved the microstructure and enhanced the flexural strength and anti-ablation performance of the composites.
Mg-modified C/C-ZrC-SiC composites were fabricated by a sol-gel process, and the influences of the Mg/(Zr + Si) molar ratio on the microstructure and the mechanical and anti-ablation properties of the composites were investigated. The results showed that Mg addition not only optimized the distribution of surficial ceramic par-ticles but also improved the flexural strength of composites by inhibiting the ceramization of fibres. Fabricated Mg/(Zr + Si) with a molar ratio of 0.040:0.18 increased the flexural strength of the composite from 173.15 MPa to 331.22 MPa, and the elastic modulus ranged from 11.46 GPa to 23.09 GPa. After plasma flame ablation for 180 s, this composite also showed excellent anti-ablation performance with linear and mass ablation rates of 3.91 mu m/s and-0.23 mg/s, respectively. The superior ablation property was ascribed to the formation of a consecutive oxide layer constructed by a viscous mixed liquid consisting of liquid Mg-Si-O and Zr-Si-O phases and the robust skeleton of the coarsening ZrO2.
