MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:5983. [PMID: 37687673 PMCID: PMC10488621 DOI: 10.3390/ma16175983] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Revised: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023]
Abstract
The development of high-temperature organic adhesive for bonding ultra-high-temperature ceramics with excellent thermal shock resistance has important significance to thermal protection systems for high-temperature environment application. In this study, high-temperature organic adhesive (HTOA) with carbon-fiber-SiC nanowires (CF-SiCNWs) binary phase enhancement structure was prepared. The method is that the SiCNWs grow on the chopped carbon-fiber surface and in the matrix of modified HTOA during high-temperature heat treatment with the help of a catalyst by a tip-growth way and with a vapor-liquid-solid (V-L-S) growth pattern. The results showed that the CF-SiCNWs binary phase enhancement structure plays a significant role in improving thermal shock resistance of high-temperature organic adhesive. The retention rate of the joint bond strength for the bonding samples after 20 cycles of thermal shock testing reaches 39.19%, which is higher than for the ones without CF, whose retain rate is only 6.78%. The shear strength of the samples with the CF-SiCNWs binary phase enhancement structure was about 10% higher than for those without the enhancement structure after 20 cycles of thermal shock.

Tynyshbayeva KM, Kozlovskiy AL, Rakhimov RV, Uglov VV, Zdorovets MV. Study of The Gas-Swelling Mechanisms in Silicon Carbide Ceramics under High-Temperature Irradiation with Helium Ions. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:5750. [PMID: 37687443 PMCID: PMC10488445 DOI: 10.3390/ma16175750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this work is to simulate the processes of gaseous swelling in SiC ceramics as well as the associated changes in strength and thermophysical properties under high-temperature irradiation with helium ions. The choices of irradiation conditions (irradiation temperatures of 700 and 1000 K) and irradiation fluences (1015-1018 ion/cm2) are based on the possibilities of modeling the processes of destructive changes in the near-surface layer as a result of the accumulation of gas-filled inclusions during high-dose irradiation. During this study, it was found that an increase in the irradiation temperature of the samples from 700 to 1000 K leads to a decrease in the resistance to gas swelling, since with the temperature increase, the mobility of implanted helium in the near-surface layer grows, which results in an increase in the size of gas-filled bubbles and, as a result, accelerated destruction of the damaged layer. It has been established that in the case of irradiation at 700 K, the critical fluence for swelling associated with the formation of visible gas-filled bubbles on the surface is 5 × 1017 ion/cm2, while for samples irradiated at a temperature of 1000 K, the formation of gas-filled bubbles is observed at a fluence of 1017 ion/cm2. Measurements of the thermal conductivity coefficient showed that the formation of gas-filled bubbles leads to a sharp deterioration in heat transfer processes, which indicates that the created defective inclusions prevent phonon heat transfer. Changes in the strength characteristics showed that a decrease in hardness occurs throughout the entire depth of the damaged ceramic layer. However, with a rise in the irradiation fluence above 1017 ion/cm2, a slight damaged layer thickness growth associated with diffusion processes of helium implantation into the near-surface layer is observed. The relevance of this study consists in obtaining new data on the stability of the strength and thermophysical parameters of SiC ceramics in the case of helium accumulation and its subsequent radiation-induced evolution in the case of irradiation at temperatures of 700 and 1000 K. The data obtained during the experimental work on changes in the properties of ceramics will make it possible to determine the potential limits of their applicability in the case of operation under extreme conditions at elevated temperatures in the future.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:4487.

Abstract
In this study, a novel friction material with biomass-ceramic (SiC) dual matrixes was fabricated using Chinese fir pyrocarbon via the liquid-phase silicon infiltration and in situ growth method. SiC can be grown in situ on the surface of a carbonized wood cell wall by mixing and calcination of wood and Si powder. The samples were characterized using XRD, SEM, and SEM-EDS analysis. Meanwhile, their friction coefficients and wear rates were tested to study their frictional properties. To explore the influence of crucial factors on friction performance, response surface analysis was also conducted to optimize the preparation process. The results showed that longitudinally crossed and disordered SiC nanowhiskers were grown on the carbonized wood cell wall, which could enhance the strength of SiC. The designed biomass-ceramic material had satisfying friction coefficients and low wear rates. The response surface analysis results indicate that the optimal process could be determined (carbon to silicon ratio of 3:7, reaction temperature of 1600 °C, and 5% adhesive dosage). Biomass-ceramic materials utilizing Chinese fir pyrocarbon could display great promise to potentially replace the current iron-copper-based alloy materials used in brake systems.

Abstract
Composite oxide ceramics CeZrO4-YZrO3 obtained by mechanochemical synthesis were chosen as objects of study. The most dangerous type of radiation defect in structural materials is associated with helium accumulation in the structure of the near-surface layer. This can lead to the destruction and swelling of the material, resulting in a decrease in its strength and thermal characteristics. During the studies, it was found that the most significant structural changes (deformation of the crystal lattice, the magnitude of microdistortions of the crystal lattice) are observed with irradiation fluence above 5×1016 ion/cm2, while the nature of the changes is exponential. X-ray diffraction analysis found that the nature of the crystal structure deformation has a pronounced type of stretching due to the accumulation of implanted helium and its subsequent agglomeration. A comparative analysis with data on microdistortions of the crystal lattice and the values of microhardness and softening of ZrO2 and CeO2 showed that two-phase ceramics of the cubic type CeZrO4-YZrO3 are more resistant to radiation-induced degradation than single-phase ZrO2 and CeO2. Results of strength and thermophysical characteristics showed that the presence of two phases increases resistance to destruction and disorder, leading to a decrease in strength and thermal conductivity.

Abstract
The paper considers the hydrogenation processes in Li2TiO3 ceramics under irradiation with protons with an energy of 500 keV and fluences of 1 × 1010-5 × 1017 ion/cm2. The choice of the type of irradiation, as well as the irradiation fluences, is based on the possibilities of modeling hydrogenation processes and studying the kinetics of structural changes caused by the accumulation of radiation damage. The choice of Li2TiO3 ceramics as objects of research is due to their prospects for using as blanket materials of thermonuclear reactors for the tritium production and accumulation. It was found that the formation of point defects and their subsequent evolution associated with the formation of complex compounds and the filling of pores, followed by the formation of gas-filled bubbles, the presence of which leads to a decrease in crack resistance and resistance to destruction of the near-surface layer. Based on the data on structural changes and evolution of the crystal lattice parameters, its swelling, a description of the destruction processes associated with hydrogenation in Li2TiO3 ceramics was proposed. Also, during the studies, it was found that at irradiation fluences above 1 × 1017 ion/cm2, the appearance of impurity inclusions characteristic of the TiO2 phase was observed, the presence of which indicates the crystal lattice destruction processes because of accumulation of radiation damage and deformations caused by them. Critical doses are established at which there is a sharp deterioration in strength and crack resistance, reflecting the resistance of ceramics to mechanical external influences.

Study of Morphological, Structural, and Strength Properties of Model Prototypes of New Generation TRISO Fuels. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15144741.

Abstract
The purpose of this work is to characterize the morphological, structural, and strength properties of model prototypes of new-generation TRi-structural ISOtropic particle fuel (TRISO) designed for Generation IV high-temperature gas reactors (HTGR-type). The choice of model structures consisting of inner pyrolytic carbon (I-PyC), silicon carbide (SiC), and outer pyrolytic carbon (O-PyC) as objects of research is motivated by their potential use in creating a new generation of fuel for high-temperature nuclear reactors. To fully assess their full functional value, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms of resistance to external influences, including mechanical, as in the process of operation there may be external factors associated with deformation and leading to the destruction of the surface of fuel structures, which will critically affect the service life. The objective of these studies is to obtain new data on the fuel properties, as well as their resistance to external influences arising from mechanical friction. Such studies are necessary for further tests of this fuel on corrosion and irradiation resistance, as closely as possible to real conditions in the reactor. The research revealed that the study samples have a high degree of resistance to external mechanical influences, due to the high strength of the upper layer consisting of pyrolytic carbon. The presented results of the radiation resistance of TRISO fuel testify to the high resistance of the near-surface layer to high-dose irradiation.

Study of Radiation Resistance to Helium Swelling of Li2ZrO3/LiO and Li2ZrO3 Ceramics. CRYSTALS 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/cryst12030384] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
The key aim of this paper is to study the presence effect of LiO impurity phases in Li2ZrO3 ceramics on the resistance to helium swelling and structural degradation during implanted helium accumulation in the near-surface layer structure. The hypothesis put forward is based on a number of scientific papers, in which it was reported that the presence of two or more phases in lithium-containing ceramics led to a decrease in the rate of radiation damage and gas swelling due to the presence of additional interfacial boundaries that prevent the point defect accumulation. As a result of the evaluation of the crystal structure deformation, it was found that the presence of the LiO impurity phase in the structure of Li2ZrO3 ceramics led to a threefold decrease in the deformation of the crystal lattice due to helium swelling at doses of 5 × 1017–5 × 1018 ion/cm2. At the same time, the nature of the crystal lattice deformation for different ceramic types is different: in the case of Li2ZrO3 ceramics, an anisotropic distortion of the crystal structure is observed, in the case of Li2ZrO3/LiO ceramics, the crystal lattice deformation has an isotropic nature.
