Abstract

Based on the basic principle of carbothermal reduction reactions in the ZrO2-B2O3-C system, ultra-fine ZrB2-ZrC composite powders were synthesized by sol-gel method using zirconium oxychloride, boric acid and phenolic resin as sources of zirconia, boron oxide and carbon, respectively. Thermodynamic change process, phase compositions, crystallite size and morphology of the synthesized powders were characterized by thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The results show that ZrB2 and ZrC phases form at 1300℃. The carbothermal reduction reactions are completely finished when calcined at 1500℃ for 1h. The average crystallite size and specific surface area are about 200nm and 87m2/g, respectively. The agglomeration phenomenon is improved by adding 1.0wt% polyethylene glycol.
