By thermodynamic analysis and experimental verification, this study reveals the correlation between composition and ablation performance of multicomponent ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) and develops a strategy for pre-evaluating their ablation performance, providing a basis for composition design.
Multicomponent ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) are promising candidates for thermal protection materials (TPMs) used in aerospace field. However, finding out desirable compositions from an enormous number of possible compositions remains challenging. Here, through elucidating the role of preferential oxidation in ablation behavior of multicomponent UHTCs via the thermodynamic analysis and experimental verification, the correlation between the composition and ablation performance of multicomponent UHTCs was revealed from the aspect of thermodynamics. We found that the metal components in UHTCs can be thermodynamically divided into preferentially oxidized component (denoted as M-P), which builds up a skeleton in oxide layer, and laggingly oxidized component (denoted as M-L), which fills the oxide skeleton. Meanwhile, a thermodynamically driven gradient in the concentration of M-P and M-L forms in the oxide layer. Based on these findings, a strategy for pre-evaluating the ablation performance of multicomponent UHTCs was developed, which provides a preliminary basis for the composition design of multicomponent UHTCs.
