Summary: This study aimed to obtain a multiphase composite of (Zr,Ti)B2-SiC through pressureless sintering. The addition of TiO2 affected solid solution formation, densification, microstructure, and mechanical properties. 2.0 wt% TiO2 was added to ZrB2-SiC composites with 10-30 vol% SiC and sintered at 2050 degrees C. The composites doped with TiO2 exhibited improved fracture toughness but slightly lower Vickers hardness compared to composites without TiO2 addition.

Summary: SiC-0-8wt% Si3N4 and SiC-0-10 wt% TiN ceramics were fabricated via pressureless solid-state sintering using B4C and C as sintering aids. Addition of Si3N4 and TiN up to 4 and 1 wt%, respectively, led to > 97% relative density. The study showed that adding 0.5-1 wt% nitrides resulted in a three orders of magnitude increase in carrier density and a decrease in electrical resistivity by an order of magnitude. Additionally, the addition of 1 wt% nitride led to a decrease in thermal conductivity by approximately 32% due to increased thermal resistance at SiC-nitride heterogeneous grain boundaries.

Summary: The mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of porous SiC ceramics can be independently tuned by selecting the appropriate starting particle size and sintering atmosphere. In the porosity range of 40% to 54%, the compressive strength and thermal conductivity of porous SiC ceramics increased as the porosity increased, contrary to the general trend. Additionally, the electrical conductivity of porous SiC ceramics sintered in N-2 atmosphere was significantly higher compared to those sintered in Ar atmosphere due to N doping in the PCS-derived beta-SiC.

Summary: Highly densified Al4SiC4 ceramics with a relative density of 96.1% were prepared using 2 wt% Y2O3 as additives. The presence of Y2O3 during sintering formed a yttrium aluminate liquid phase, promoting densification and anisotropic grain growth. The resulting Al4SiC4 ceramics had a bimodal grain distribution and exhibited superior mechanical properties compared to hot pressed Al4SiC4 ceramics. Pressureless sintering of Al4SiC4 ceramics is significant for the development and practical application of large-sized and complex-shaped Al4SiC4 ceramic parts.

Summary: This study focuses on improving the ablation performance of SiC-ZrC ceramics at high temperature by adding high thermal conductivity mesophase pitch-based carbon fibers (MPCFs). The experimental results show that the addition of 4.81 vol% MPCFs can significantly enhance the thermal conductivity of SiC-ZrC ceramics to 68.10±0.68 W/(m·K). Due to the high thermal conductivity, the ablation temperature of the modified ceramics is lower, resulting in lower ablation rates.

Summary: The electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties of porous SiC ceramics can be controlled by adjusting the C content and sintering temperature. Within a certain range, increasing C content and sintering temperature can decrease the electrical resistivity and increase the thermal conductivity and flexural strength. The porosity of porous SiC ceramics can be independent of the thermal conductivity and flexural strength by controlling C content and sintering temperature.

The SEM-EDX investigations revealed that the corrosion attack primarily occurred at the intergranular phase and partially dissolved the SiC grains. It was demonstrated that N-doped SiC exhibited good corrosion resistance against molten FLiNaK, with varying thicknesses of the corroded layer observed after different durations of corrosion.

Summary: The effects of pore size on the electrical and thermal properties of porous SiC ceramics were investigated. It was found that increasing the pore size resulted in higher electrical and thermal conductivities. This can be attributed to the smaller pore/strut interface area in ceramics with larger pore size, reducing the scattering effects and enhancing the conductivities.

Summary: Composite modulation in the superparaelectric state of the BTBZ-CT system is proposed as an effective strategy to achieve both NTCC and excellent energy storage performance in dielectric ceramics. The addition of BZ and CT to BT ferroelectrics can move the SPE state to the normal use temperature zone, resulting in enhanced NTCC characteristics and energy storage performance. Furthermore, intentional precipitation of CT at grain boundaries can refine the grain size, increase the bandgap, and strengthen the local electric field distribution, thereby enhancing the breakdown electric field.

Higher purity calcia results in well-developed grains and improved hydration resistance, leading to better high-temperature strength and thermal shock resistance. In contrast, lower purity calcia crucibles exhibit inferior properties. Therefore, high-purity calcia is considered a potential refractory for manufacturing oxide crucibles.

Summary: To raise the operating temperature of Si-based ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), researchers have applied thermal/environmental barrier coating (T/EBCs) materials, typically rare earth silicates. However, the high thermal conductivity and the mismatch of thermal expansion have been major challenges in developing new materials that can offer thermal insulation and environmental protection to CMCs. In this study, entropy engineering was used to create a multicomponent equi-atomic single-phase pyro silicate with extremely low thermal conductivity and enhanced water vapor corrosion resistance. The research findings show the potential of high entropy disilicates in achieving ultra-low thermal conductivity and low weight loss in corrosive environments.

Summary: This study provides an atomic-scale description of the high-velocity impact of alpha-Al2O3 particles onto an alpha-Al2O3 substrate during Aerosol Deposition (AD). The results suggest that the crystal orientation plays a crucial role in both plasticity and damage of the nanoparticles. Impact velocity has a direct correlation with plasticity and fragmentation, but adhesion efficiency has only a marginal increase. The crucial element lies in the substrate's surface alterations caused by the fragments left on the substrate after impact.

Summary: This study characterized the long-term and repeated ablation properties of modified Cf/HfC-SiC composites with YB4-Al2O3-Si3N4 under an air plasma torch. The structural stability and viscosity of the oxide layer were found to affect the ablation resistance of the composites. By forming nano c-HfO2 grains and high-viscosity Al-Si-Y-O glassy phase, the structural stability of the oxide layer was improved, resulting in enhanced ablation resistance. However, the oxidation of Si3N4 led to the formation of NO, NO2, and excessive SiO2 glassy phase, which resulted in a porous structure and reduced the viscosity of the oxide layer. Therefore, the addition of Si3N4 decreased the ablation resistance of the composites.
