Abstract [en]

Ultra-high temperature ceramic composites have been widely investigated due to their improved sinterability and superior mechanical properties compared to monolithic ceramics. In this work, high-entropy boron-carbide ceramic/SiC composites with different SiC content were synthesized from multicomponent carbides HfC, Mo2C, TaC, TiC, B4C, and SiC in spark plasma sintering (SPS) from 1600 °C to 2000 °C. It was found that the SiC addition tailors the phase formation and mechanical properties of the high-entropy ceramic (HEC) composites. The microhardness and fracture toughness of the HEC composites sintered at 2000 °C were improved from 20.3 GPa and 3.14 MPa·m1/2 to 26.9 GPa and 5.95 MPa·m1/2, with increasing SiC content from HEC-(SiC)0 (0 vol. %) to HEC-(SiC)3.0 (37 vol. %). The addition of SiC (37 vol. %) to the carbide precursors resulted in the formation of two high-entropy ceramic phases with two different crystal structures, face-centered cubic (FCC) structure, and hexagonal structure. The volume fraction ratio between the hexagonal and FCC high-entropy phases increased from 0.36 to 0.76 when SiC volume fraction was increased in the composites from HEC-(SiC)0 to HEC-(SiC)3.0, suggesting the stabilization of the hexagonal high-entropy phase over the FCC phase with SiC addition.
