Abstract

The effect of LaB6 (7, 10, and 14 vol pct) addition on oxidation behavior of spark plasma-sintered ZrB2–20 vol pct SiC composites involving heating under non-isothermal condition till 1400 °C, and isothermal and cyclic exposures at 1300 °C to 1500 °C have been examined. The mass gain of the composite with 14 vol pct LaB6 is found as the highest during non-isothermal oxidation, whereas it appears as the least on isothermal exposure for 24 hours at 1400 °C or 1500 °C. The mass gain after 24 cycles of 1-hour exposure at 1300 °C to 1500 °C is found to be lower than that recorded under isothermal condition for all the composites, with the difference decreasing with LaB6 content. The oxidation exponent (n) is found to decrease to near parabolic rate law with the increase in cyclic exposure temperature. The parabolic rate constant (kp) is found to decrease with the increase in LaB6 content after a few cycles of exposure at all the investigated temperatures. The oxide scales formed on isothermal exposure at 1400 °C or 1500 °C have shown a thin La2Si2O7 layer with borosilicate glass (BSG) as the outer layer, followed by layers containing BSG along with coarse and fine ZrO2, and a SiC-depleted ZrB2 layer. The oxide scales formed during cyclic exposure contain an outer compact layer comprising BSG, La2Si2O7, and ZrSiO4, followed by ZrO2 + BSG. Additionally, a SiC-depleted layer is found at the oxide–composite interface on cyclic exposure at 1500 °C for 24 hours, and at 1400 °C for 100 hours. The outer compact layer appears to have a critical role in protection against oxidation, with kp decreasing with the increase in its thickness.
