Abstract

Ti-doped Zr2[Al(Si)]4C5 solid solutions were prepared by an in situ hot-pressing method and its effect on the mechanical properties and high-temperature oxidation behavior were investigated. The solid solutions show comparable hardness, strength, and fracture toughness with Zr2[Al(Si)]4C5 except modulus, which decreases with Ti dopant content. The stiffness is maintained up to 1600°C, which derives from the clean grain boundaries without glassy phases. The oxidation resistance of [Zr1-x(Ti)x]2[Al(Si)] 4C5 solid solutions at 1000°-1300°C is improved remarkably. The improved oxidation resistance is mostly due to the formation of a more protective oxide scale consisting of (Zr,Ti)O2, Al 2O3, and mullite.
