A novel amorphous Zr-MOFs (aZMs) was synthesized using ZrCl 4 and C 10 H 6 O 8 , with deionized water and ethanol as solvents. ZrC nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by pyrolyzing aZMs precursors via one-step thermal decomposition. Effects of metal/linker molar ratios and pyrolysis temperatures on the composition and microstructure of ZrC powders were investigated, meanwhile, the synthesis mechanisms were also discussed. High-purity spherical ZrC nanoparticles (104.2 ± 21.5 nm) were obtained by pyrolyzing the aZMs with metal/linker molar ratio of 2 at 1500 °C. Notably, additive-free dense ZrC ceramic were fabricated using precursor-derived ZrC nanoparticles at 1900 °C for 1 h with a pressure of 30 MPa by SPS, achieving a high relative density (96.2 %) and Vickers hardness (15.9 GPa). Compared with commercially available ZrC ceramic (93.3 %, 12.79 GPa), the as-sintered ZrC ceramic exhibited better sinterability and higher hardness. This work provides a promising potential for use in fabricating ZrC-based ultra-high temperature ceramics and composites.

To shorten the manufacturing process and enhance the ZrC content, C/C-SiC-ZrC composites were prepared using the nano-filler slurry infiltration method in combination with precursor infiltration and pyrolysis method. The effect of ZrC filler sizes on densification, microstructure, and properties of composites was studied. Results revealed that the ZrC content and density of the C/C-SiC-ZrC composites are inversely correlated to the filler size. The composites with nano-fillers reach the highest density of 2.67 g cm −3 as well as the lowest open porosity of 1.21%. After being ablated under oxyacetylene flame for 60 s, the composites with nano-fillers owns the lowest linear ablation rate and surface temperature, with 10 μms −1 and 2700 °C. Due to the highest ZrC content and best film-forming ability of nano-fillers, ZrO 2 outer layer with the densest structure can provide an enhanced protective effect, and the thickness of the oxide layer decreases from 509 to 264 μm as compared with micron fillers. Therefore, the oxidation damage of the composites is reduced, and the thickness of the SiC depletion layer decreases simultaneously. The above results further demonstrate that introducing ZrC nano-filler to the C/C-SiC-ZrC composites can considerably improve their ablative properties at 2700 °C.

During investigation of the phase relations in the SiC–ZrO 2 –CaO ternary system, it was revealed that ZrO 2 reacted with SiC and CaO to form ZrC and calcium silicate via a series of solid-state reactions. Because these reactions may provide a new route to reaction-sintering of ZrC ceramics, ZrC/SiC and ZrC/salt composites, the formation process of the ZrC phase was analyzed. Subsolidus phase diagram of the related SiC–SiO 2 –ZrC–ZrO 2 –CaO (Si–Zr–Ca–O–C) quinary system at 1400 °C was presented.

C/C-ZrC-SiC composites were fabricated by carbothermal reaction of hydrothermal co-deposited oxides and resulted in homogeneous microstructure. The fracture behavior passed from pseudo-plastic to brittle fracture with the increase in ZrC/SiC molar ratios. The composites with a molar ratio of ZrC/SiC≈2:1 presented outstanding ablation resistance with a mass ablation rate of 0.06 mg cm −2 s −1 and a linear ablation rate of 0.13 μm s −1 . The optimal ZrC/SiC molar ratio provided a suitable balance of viscosity and flowability of the oxides scale, which not only possessed enough solid ZrO 2 to endure the scouring but also had moderate liquid-phase to seal the defects and limited the oxidation.

A C/C-ZrC-SiC composite was successfully prepared by high-solid-loading slurry impregnation combined with polymer infiltration and pyrolysis. The microstructure and ablation behavior of the C/C–ZrC–SiC composite were investigated. ZrC particles were uniformly distributed in the matrix, and the obtained C/C–ZrC–SiC composite had a high density of 2.74 g/cm 3 . After exposure to oxyacetylene flame with a heat flux of 3.86 MW/m 2 for 120 s, the mass and linear ablation rates of the composite were 0.72 ± 0.11 mg/s and 0.52 ± 0.09 µm/s, respectively. The excellent ablation properties of the composite were attributed to the protection of the matrix by a three-layered oxide scale consisting of ZrO 2 /SiO 2 -rich/ZrO 2 -SiO 2 .

ZrC-based ceramic composites doped with 20 vol.% titanium (Ti) and 3 vol.% carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared by hot pressing. The densification behavior, microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of the composites were studied. The results indicated that the sinterability of the composites was significantly improved, resulting in highly dense matrix (98.27%) at reduced sintering temperature (1600 °C). In addition to the main phase of (Zr, Ti)C, the composites also contained a certain amount of TiC, which was shown to be beneficial for the improvement of mechanical properties. As a result, the flexural strength of the composites was measured to be 415 MPa at room temperature and 647 MPa at 800 °C, respectively. Moreover, the composites showed a high fracture toughness of 5.27 MPa m 1/2 , which increased by 32% compared with the monolithic ZrC (4 MPa m 1/2 ). The improved fracture toughness was attributed to crack deflection, crack bridging and crack branching.

Graphene is one of the important candidates in ceramic toughening due to its outstanding physical and chemical properties. For the weak interface toughening of large-diameter graphene sheet and alleviation of the interfacial reaction between ceramic precursors and graphene sheets during high-temperature pyrolysis, ZrC–SiC‒Graphene composite was synthesized via a facile technology of infiltrating ceramic slurry instead of ceramic precursor into macroporous graphene network and spark plasma sintering . The incorporation of the graphene network improved fracture toughness, critical crack size, and fracture energy of ZrC–SiC ceramic. The multiple length-scale toughening mechanisms of ZrC–SiC‒Graphene composite include the macroscopic toughening mechanism of crack deflection and bifurcation and the micro toughening mechanism of graphene bridging, ceramic micro zone tearing, graphene pull-out, graphene and ceramic brick slipping.

Nano-Zirconium diboride (ZrB 2 ) powder was vital raw material for manufacturing ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) and C/C composite materials, which were widely used in extreme environment. In this paper, a convenient way of synthesizing nano-ZrB 2 powder was proposed. Firstly, the precursor consisting of ultrafine-ZrC and C was obtained via vacuum carbothermal reduction of nano-ZrO 2 . And then, the carbothermal reduction product was boronized by B 4 C in Ca melt. In boronation process, Ca melt would play a key role as decarburizer. By boronation reaction at 1373 K and 1473 K, cauliflower-shaped ZrB 2 particle and smooth polyhedral ZrB 2 particle were obtained, respectively. XRD and BET analyses showed that the grain sizes and BET-equivalent particle diameters of these two products were less than 100 nm.

With the rapid development of laser technology, there is an increasing demand for laser protective materials. Thus, the mechanical and ablation properties of composite materials need to be further enhanced. Herein, solution impregnation and hot-press molding were used to develop composites containing various mass ratios of ZrC to polybenzimidazole (PBI) resin (thickness = 3 mm) for laser ablation applications. The results showed that adding short carbon fiber (SCF) to ZrC/PBI composites improves the ablation and mechanical properties . The ZrC/PBI/SCF composites were ablated using a high-energy continuous laser (7 kW cm −2 ), and the composites did not burn through. The composites did not peel off or split as the ablation process progressed. With the increase in the ZrC content in the composites, dense oxide layers are formed, enhancing the ablation properties of the composites. The ZrC/PBI/SCF composite (the ZrC/PBI mass ratio = 2:1) exhibited the lowest mass loss (2.24%), mass ablation rate (0.119 mg s −1 ) and linear ablation rate (0.032 mm s −1 ). This indicates that ZrC/PBI/SCF composites can be used as protective materials in high-energy continuous laser applications.

When MgO+ZrO 2 were used as a sintering aid to SiC ceramics, it was found that ZrO 2 reacted with SiC and MgO to form ZrC and a magnesium silicate. This reaction may provide a new route to synthesize ZrC or prepare ZrC/SiC composites by reaction sintering using ZrO 2 , SiC, and MgO as starting materials. In the present work, formation process of the ZrC phase in the SiC–MgO–ZrO 2 system was addressed. Subsolidus phase relations at 1550 °C of the SiC–MgO–ZrO 2 system and the related SiC–SiO 2 –ZrC–ZrO 2 –MgO (Si–Zr–Mg–O–C) system were investigated.

ZrC and ZrB 2 are both typical ultra-high temperature ceramics, which can be used in the hyperthermal environment. In this study, a method for preparing ultrafine ZrC-ZrB 2 composite powder was provided, by using the raw materials of nano ZrO 2 , carbon black, B 4 C, and metallic Ca. It is worth pointing out that ZrC-ZrB 2 composite powder with any proportion of ZrC to ZrB 2 could be synthesized by this method. Firstly, a mixture of ZrC and C was prepared by carbothermal reduction of ZrO 2 . By adjusting the addition amount of B 4 C, ZrC was boronized by B 4 C to generate ZrC-ZrB 2 composite powder with different compositions. Using this method, five composite powders with different molar ratios of ZrC and ZrB 2 (100ZrC, 75ZrC-25ZrB 2 , 50ZrC-50ZrB 2 , 25ZrC-75ZrB 2 , and 100ZrB 2 ) were prepared. When the temperature of boronization and decarburization process was 1473 K, the particle size of product was only tens of nanometres. Finally, the oxidation characteristics of different composite powders were investigated through oxidation experiments. The oxidation resistance of ZrC-ZrB 2 composite powder continued to increase as the content of ZrB 2 increased.

ZrC–ZrO 2 composite ceramic microspheres were prepared by internal gelation combined with carbothermic reduction using fructose as a chelating agent and carbon source. Fructose in the precursor solution formed complex with zirconium ions, which was conducive to the refining of the microstructure of the sintered composite. ZrC–ZrO 2 composite with ZrC content as high as 60 wt% could be prepared.
