透明Al2O3基连续纤维的纳米晶定向互锁结构制备及其强韧化机制

Alumina-based continuous fibers are used as high temperature structural materials in aerobic environment. Aiming at the problem of strength and toughness insufficient caused by equiaxed grain, the strength and toughness of fiber can be improved greatly through the microstructure tailoring about a oriented interlocking structure of the elongated grain, and combining with the size effect of macroscopic fiber diameter and microscopic nanocrystalline grain under multiple scales.This project intends to use liquid catalyst method to prepare ultrafine nanometer mullite whisker, take it as template seed, and obtain the gel fiber which contain oriented whiskers along with the axial direction through dry spinning process. Furthermore, the dense alumina-based continuous fibers with nanometer elongated grains oriented structure were obtained by vacuum rapid sintering.The influence of size and morphology of mullite whisker template as well as the adding amount on fiber density and microstructure were studied systematically. The oriented mechanism of fiber matrix grain under the guidance of whisker template after its anisotropic growth was illuminated. The synergistic mechanism of fiber densification and ultrafine nanocrystals during rapid sintering was revealed. The effects of microstructure characteristics such as the size and distribution of elongated grains on macroscopic mechanical/optical properties were studied. Combined with the size effect, the toughening mechanism and optical properties under multiscale of fiber diameter and nanocrystalline were revealed. It provides a new method for innovative design and functionalization of ceramic fiber.
