Rheological Properties of SiC-ZrB2 Composite Suspensions

doi:10.3724/SP.J.1077.2012.12641

Abstract

Abstract:

The SiC-ZrB₂ composite slurry was investigated as preliminary work for the preparation of high-performance SiC-ZrB₂ reticulated porous ceramics (RPCs). The dispersions of SiC and ZrB₂ powders were investigated, and the amounts of dispersant and adhesive were optimized, respectively. Based on these results, the investigation focused on the influences of the solid loading and the ZrB₂ amount on the rheological behavior of suspensions. The suspension with 65wt% solid loading was chosen as the optimum for polymeric sponge replication process. And the ZrB₂ amount should be less than 25wt%.

Key words: SiC, ZrB₂, CMC, silica sol, rheological properties
