Effect of Zirconium on the Densification of Reactively Hot‐Pressed Zirconium Carbide

Abstract: Densification mechanisms involved during reactive hot pressing (RHP) of zirconium carbide (ZrC) have been studied. RHP has been carried out using zirconium (Zr) and graphite (C) powders in the molar ratios 1:0.5, 1:0.67, 1:0.8, and 1:1 at 40 MPa, 800°C-1200°C for different durations. The volume fractions of phases formed, including porosity, are determined from the measured density and from Rietveld analysis. Increased densification with an increasing nonstoichiometry in carbon has been observed. Microstructur… Show more

“…7. Figures 7(a) and 7(b), which are attributed to the sintered sample derived from starting powders of ZrO 2 :C = 1:3.00, do not indicate any extrinsic phase like ZrO 2 or C. This is compatible with the results from the 2 residues could be experimentally proven by investigations with prolonged sintering time. Another observation is the increase of grain size in association with increased sintering temperature for this sample.…”

“…In the past, a combination of very high-temperature with pressure-assisted methods was necessary to produce fully densified ZrC components. Hot pressing is a common method for sintering of ZrC [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Nachiappan et al [4] investigated the influence of Zr and graphite ratio on sinterability.…”

“…One of the reasons for this lack of systematic wear studies is presumably the poor solid‐state sinterability of ZrC; this makes it very challenging to fully densify at low temperatures. In the recent years, significant contributions have been made on reactive hot pressing (RHP) of Zr and C with different molar ratios at moderate temperatures . The monolithic ZrC x ceramic has been produced by RHP of Zr and C powder mixtures at 40 MPa and 1200°C.…”

“…In the recent years, significant contributions have been made on reactive hot pressing (RHP) of Zr and C with different molar ratios at moderate temperatures. [13][14][15] The monolithic ZrC x ceramic has been produced by RHP of Zr and C powder mixtures at 40 MPa and 1200°C. It is also established that the combinations of Zr-B 4 C, Zr-B 4 C-Si, or Zr-B 4 C-SiC powder mixtures, and RHP, results in dense ZrB 2 -ZrC x , ZrB 2 -SiC, or ZrB 2 -ZrC x -SiC composites at 1200-1600°C.…”
