Solid-state reactions of SiC/W-25Re alloy and SiC/Ti/W-25Re alloy are investigated under the hightemperature annealing at1 500 C. The interface reaction layer between SiC and W-25Re alloy is composed of WC-WSi 2 -W 5 Si 3 -W-Re sigma phase -dendrite microstructure. Solid-state reactions between W and SiC form two types of W-silicides and the relative depletion of W brings formation of the W-Re sigma phase. In order to prevent direct interfacial reactions, Ti layer is intercalated as a secondary buffer layer. Compared to the original interface, thicknesses of both reaction layer and dendrite layer are significantly decreased. Although the thermal reaction of Ti and W brings inhomogeneous characteristics, the proposed functionally graded structure is expected to enhance the thermal stability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
