Abstract

Two different ultra-high-temperature ZrB2-based composites, ZS (ZrB2+20 SiC) and ZSC (ZrB2+20 SiC+20 Cf), were prepared from commercial powders by hot pressing at 2000°C and 30MPa. The fracture surfaces of both materials at 300, 600 and 900°C showed a mixed mechanism of inter- and intra-granular fracture. The incorporated C fibers in ZS composites effectively improved fracture toughness, from about 4.25MPa.m 1/2 for ZS to 6.56MPa.m1/2 for ZSC, and decreased the descending slop of flexural strength with the increasing of temperature, although 3-pt. flexural strength reduced, from up to 508 and 410MPa for ZS to 355 and 310MPa for0 ZSC at 300 and 900°C, respectively.
