Processing and properties of ZrC, ZrN and ZrCN ceramics: a review

Abstract: ZrC and ZrN ceramics are of interest in the application of materials in extreme high temperature environments, particularly for nuclear applications in generation IV reactors. These materials demonstrate desirable characteristics such as high thermal and electrical conductivities along with high hardness and melting temperatures. Data reported in the literature often suffer from scatter due to differences in processing techniques and difficulty determining stoichiometry, which will significantly affect thermop… Show more

“…High-temperature conductivity measurements are nontrivial to make so it is unsurprising that considerable scatter exists across the reported thermal data. 4,10,11 Our computational predictions are therefore expected to be of practical use, as well as providing valuable theoretical insight into the basic competing factors that determine high-temperature conductivity. Advances in the computational treatment of phonons applied to thermal conductivity, [12][13][14] provide us with a timely opportunity to present transport predictions for the prototypical ultra-high-temperature ceramic ZrC.…”

“…Such thermal residual stresses can be quantitatively estimated by:σmr=αp-αmΔT1+vm2Em+1-2vpEpσmt=-σmr2where σ mr and σ mt denote the radial and tangential matrix stresses around a Zr 2 CN particle, respectively, α p and α m denote the CTE of Zr 2 CN and SiC, respectively, ν is the Poisson’s ratio, Δ T is the temperature difference over which the stress is not relieved by the diffusive process, and the subscripts p and m refer to the particle and matrix, respectively. Using the values of 400 and 410 GPa for E p and E m , 7.65 × 10 −6 and 4.3 × 10 −6 °C −1 for α p and α m , 0.2 and 0.19 for ν p and ν m , respectively, and 1000°C for Δ T , the radial tensile stress developed around Zr 2 CN particles is 1135 MPa, while the tangential compressive stress is −568 MPa. This stress field implies that an approaching crack inside the matrix is attracted by the radial tensile stress existing around the particle, whereas the compressive tangential stress diverts the crack around the particle .…”

“…-6 K -1 [41] and 9.4 9 10 -6 K -1 for TiN [42], whereas the thermal expansion coefficient of maraging steels, a m , is about 10 9 10 -6 K -1 . The relatively higher coefficient of thermal expansion of maraging steels leads to higher contraction during cooling of the material, inducing compressive residual stresses in the inclusion.…”
