In Situ Synthesis of SiC and β-Si3Al3O3N5 Whiskers in Alumina Carbon Based Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

SiC whiskers are the common reinforced phases in alumina carbon refractories. In this paper, the effect of transition metal catalyst on the evolution of matrix phase and the formation of β-Si3Al3O3N5 whiskers were studied. It was found that the whiskers of both SiC and β-Si3Al3O3N5 in alumina carbon materials with the catalyst in reducing atmosphere were generated. The existence of catalyst can promote the nitriding process of Si metal and facilitate the formation of β-Si3Al3O3N5 whiskers. The growth mechanism of both SiC and β-Si3Al3O3N5 whiskers agrees with the vapor-liquid-solid model.
