Low strength and poor performance of SiC–WC composite for seals, attributable to the use of a large amount of liquid phase sintering additives, limit the application prospects of these materials. This study focuses on preparing high-strength, high-toughness, and wear-resistant SiC–WC composite using a small amount of aluminum and carbon black as sintering additives. The results revealed that the specimen containing 50 wt% WC exhibited the maximum flexural strength and fracture toughness of 645.9 MPa and 7.49 Mpa m 1/2 , respectively. These improvements were attributed to the deoxidizing and solid-solution effects of Al and the reinforcing effect of the WC second phase. Moreover, the specific wear rate was measured at 8.06 × 10 −7 mm 3 N −1 m −1 , which was 56.9 % lower than that of monolithic SiC. Results from Raman spectral analysis provided evidence of the presence of W–O bonds on the wear surface, indicating that the SiO 2 film could be successfully replaced by a WO 3 film.

Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is an ultrafast sintering method for the preparation of ceramics and ceramic composites with simple geometrical shapes, with the combined application of uniaxial pressure. This study aims to propose an SPS densification method for Si 3 N 4 ceramic balls without necessitating alterations to tools and equipment. The Si 3 N 4 ceramic balls intended for sintering are positioned within a SiC powder bed inside the conventional die used in SPS. The study systematically investigates the effects of presintering temperature (1400°C, 1500°C, and 1600°C) and SPS temperature (1600°C, 1700°C, and 1800°C) on the sphericity, relative density, phase composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties of Si 3 N 4 ceramic balls. Experimental findings reveal that Si 3 N 4 ceramic balls exhibiting an optimal combination of sphericity (0.94 ± 0.02), relative density (98.4%), and mechanical properties (Vickers hardness: 17.5 ± 0.4 GPa, fracture toughness: 6.4 ± 0.1 MPa·m 1/2 ) were successfully achieved at a pre-sintering temperature and SPS temperature of 1600°C, coupled with the use of a SiC powder bed and SPS method. Consequently, the SPS method demonstrates its capability to fabricate Si 3 N 4 ceramic balls with excellent performance.

SiC aerogel is a novel candidate for electromagnetic absorption (EMA) materials in extreme environments because of its ceramic nature and aerogel morphology. In this study, graphene oxide (GO), which having has been generally serving served as a “brick” in the material community, was used as a building block to prepare SiC aerogel precursors and further develop a novel and designable route for preparing SiC aerogel for EMA. The experimental results suggested that the GO aerogel was well converted into a SiC aerogel with ultra-low density (<4 mg cm −3 ). The synthesized SiC aerogel inherited the precursor well in structure while having a wide absorption band (approximately 5.5GHz) and a high absorption frequency-to-thickness correlation different from traditional SiC aerogels. The above idea for designing and assembling SiC aerogels will significantly broaden the practical applications of GO and SiC in EMA, supercapacitors and sensors.

Traditional ceramic materials are generally brittle and not flexible with high production costs, which seriously hinders their practical applications. Multifunctional nanofiber ceramic aerogels are highly desirable for applications in extreme environments, however, the integration of multiple functions in their preparation is extremely challenging. To tackle these challenges, we fabricated a multifunctional SiC@SiO 2 nanofiber aerogel (SiC@SiO 2 NFA) with a three-dimensional (3D) porous cross-linked structure through a simple chemical vapor deposition method and subsequent heat-treatment process. The as-prepared SiC@SiO 2 NFA exhibits an ultralow density (~ 11 mg cm − 3 ), ultra-elastic, fatigue-resistant and refractory performance, high temperature thermal stability, thermal insulation properties, and significant strain-dependent piezoresistive sensing behavior. Furthermore, the SiC@SiO 2 NFA shows a superior electromagnetic wave absorption performance with a minimum refection loss ( RL min ) value of − 50.36 dB and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth ( EAB max ) of 8.6 GHz. The successful preparation of this multifunctional aerogel material provides a promising prospect for the design and fabrication of the cutting-edge ceramic materials.

Bi 2 WO 6 demonstrates the limited photocatalytic activity due to its high photoelectron recombination rate. However, its photocatalytic performance is expected to be improved by forming Step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunction and SiC is a potential candidate because of its high electron transfer rate in photocatalytic process. In this study, S-scheme heterojunction Bi 2 WO 6 /SiC nanocomposites were synthesized by simple hydrothermal method, and their photo degradation properties for rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light were studied. The results show that silicon carbide nanoparticles have been successfully deposited onto the petal-microsphere shaped Bi 2 WO 6 phase. The nanocomposite with mole ratio of Bi 2 WO 6 to SiC of 1:1 exhibits the highest photo degradation rate as tested in the photocatalytic experiments. The photoreaction rate of the nanocomposite is 3.7 times higher than that of pure Bi 2 WO 6 and 15.5 times higher than that of pure SiC, and the nanocomposite demonstrates good photocatalytic stability.

Semiconductor particles doped Al 2 O 3 coatings were prepared by cathode plasma electrolytic deposition in Al(NO 3 ) 3 electrolyte dispersed with SiC micro- and nano-particles (average particle sizes of 0.5–1.7 µm and 40 nm respectively). The effects of the concentrations and particle sizes of the SiC on the microstructures and tribological performances of the composite coatings were studied. In comparison with the case of dispersing with SiC microparticles, the dispersion of SiC nanoparticles in the coatings was more uniform. When the concentration of SiC nanoparticles was 5 g/L, the surface roughness of the composite coating was reduced by 63%, compared with that of the unmodified coating. Friction results demonstrated that the addition of 5 g/L SiC nanoparticles reduced the friction coefficient from 0.60 to 0.38 and decreased the wear volume under dry friction . The current density and bath voltage were measured to analyze the effects of SiC particles on the deposition process. The results showed that the SiC particles could alter the electrical behavior of the coatings during the deposition process, weaken the bombardment of the plasma, and improve the structures of the coatings.

Ultra-high temperature ceramic composites (UHTCCs) with low density and exceptional heat resistance are essential for hypersonic vehicle applications, enabling increased payload capacity and higher Mach numbers. However, developing a fabrication process that enables UHTCCs with both lightweight and superior thermal protection performance is still a challenge. To tackle this problem, in this study, a combinatorial process of vibration-assisted slurry impregnation and polymer infiltration pyrolysis was developed to fabricate gradient lightweight C f /ZrB 2 -SiC composites, consisting of continuous carbon fiber fabric, ZrB 2 -SiC and a carbon aerogels (CAs) layer. The resulting composites exhibit a low density of (0.62–0.96 g cm −3 ) but excellent oxidation and ablation resistance, which can withstand ultrahigh temperatures between 2100 °C and 2500 °C. The porous C f /CAs layer, with a density of 0.38 g cm −3 and specific bending and compressive strengths of 43.47 MPa/(g cm −3 ) and 15.53 MPa/(g cm −3 ), respectively, provides both structural integrity and lightweight properties to the C f /ZrB 2 -SiC composite. Furthermore, the density of the composites can be precisely tailored by adjusting the thickness of the C f /ZrB 2 -SiC layer, allowing for customized fabrication to meet diverse service environment requirements. This flexibility highlights the adaptability of the combined processing techniques. The unique combination of controllable low-density properties and exceptional oxidation and ablation resistance endows gradient lightweight C f /ZrB 2 -SiC composites are promising as lightweight, ultra-high temperature thermal protection systems for hypersonic vehicle applications.

As space science and technology rapidly advance, spacecraft are increasingly subjected to severe thermal and electromagnetic environments. This has created an urgent demand for materials that offer both microwave absorption and thermal insulation. Herein, we present one-dimensional (1D) carbon nanotube (CNT)/SiC nanostructure-reinforced SiC-based aerogels via carbothermal reduction of resorcinol-formaldehyde/silica composite aerogels containing CNTs. These composite aerogels were presynthesized using a straightforward one-pot sol-gel method, subsequently undergoing supercritical CO 2 drying. Conduction loss and mechanical strength are both simultaneously improved by the in-situ formation of 1D CNT@SiC core-shell nanostructures within granular SiC aerogels. The optimized SiC-based aerogel demonstrates exceptional performance, achieving a minimum reflection loss of −66.01 dB and the effective absorption bandwidth reaching 6.76 GHz. Additionally, it maintains a thermal conductivity of 0.0582 W/(m·K) at 25 °C, alongside a Young's modulus of 45.2 MPa at a density of 0.242 g/cm 3 . This design seamlessly combines various functionalities within the SiC-based aerogel system, offering significant guidance towards the development of cutting-edge functional aerogels designed to withstand extreme environmental challenges.

Three-dimensional hybrid foams of SiC nanowires (SiC NWs) coated and bonded with nanostructured lamellar carbon films are, herein synthesized for the first time, by combination of unidirectional freeze drying and carbonization techniques. The crystallinity of the carbon films was tunable from amorphous carbon to graphene-like carbon by heat treatment of the as-received hybrid foams to different temperatures within the range of 600–1500 °C. The SiC NWs-nanostructured lamellar carbon (SiC NWs/C) hybrid foams exhibited electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing properties highly superior to current state-of-the-art counterparts, at filler loadings as low as 9.2 mg/cm 3 . Effective absorption bandwidth of the SiC NWs/C foam was observed to cover the whole X-band frequency range of 8.2–12.4 GHz, with reflection loss values reaching −31 dB for an optimum thickness of 3.3 mm. The absorption efficiency of the SiC NW/C hybrid foams is discussed in the text in view of the highly absorbing layered morphology of the developed material, of interfacial polarization and multiple reflections effects and of polarization relaxation effects.

Liquid polymeric precursors have found wide applications as a matrix source for continuous fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) because of their excellent fluidity and high ceramic yield. In the present study, a processable liquid single-source-precursor was synthesized using allylhydropolycarbosilane (AHPCS) and low-cost hafnium tetrachloride (HfCl 4 ) as raw materials to form final SiC-HfC-C nanocomposites by well-known polymer-derived ceramic (PDC) approach. The precursor synthesis, thermal behavior, polymer-to-ceramic transformation and ceramic phase evolution were investigated by FT-IR, TGA, XRD and TEM. The TGA results show that the obtained single-source-precursor exhibits very high ceramic yields of over 80.0 wt% after heat treated at 1400 °C. After annealing at 1600 °C, the resultant SiC-HfC-C nanocomposites contain SiC@C and HfC@C nanoparticles with SiC and HfC as cores and amorphous carbon as shells. The present single-source-precursor is candidate material for CMC applications due to its liquidity and high ceramic yield.

In this study, spark plasma sintering technology was used for fabricating B 4 C composite ceramics that contained 30 wt% (TiB 2 + SiC) by altering the sintering pressures (0 MPa, 50 MPa, and 80 MPa) at a comparatively low temperature of 1650 °C. This study showed how sintering pressure affected the densification behavior, microstructures, and mechanical characteristics of composite ceramics. Elevating the sintering pressure led to the inhibition of grain growth during the sintering process, ultimately resulting in the refinement of grains within the composite ceramics. At the same time, the quantity of internal pores in the composite ceramics was reduced, and the relative densities increased, so the flexural strength and hardness of the composite ceramics could be effectively improved. The quantity of microcracks and large aspect ratio second phase particles decreased with an increase in sintering pressure, which adversely affected the fracture resistance characteristics of the composite ceramics. In addition, the growth of B 4 C grains was hindered by TiB 2 and SiC generated by in-situ reactions, thus improving the mechanical characteristics of the composite ceramics. Comprehensive analysis showed that the composite ceramics had the best comprehensive mechanical properties when the sintering pressure was 80 MPa, displaying a relative density of 98.65%, a Vickers hardness of 30.71 GPa, a flexural strength of 531.19 MPa, and a fracture toughness of 5.78 MPa m 1/2 .

To expand the application of SiC/SiC joints under extreme conditions, Nano-Infiltration and Transient Eutectic (NITE) joining technology with AlN-Y 2 O 3 as a sintering additive was successfully developed. The rheological properties of the slurry and the microstructure evolution of the joints were systematically characterized by rheometer, SEM, EDS, EBSD , and TEM , respectively. Both room-temperature and high-temperature flexural strength was measured to evaluate the mechanical properties of the joints. An immersion test with concentrated nitric acids was performed to evaluate the corrosion resistance of the joints. The defect-free joining layer was composed of a dense α-SiC phase, a small amount of YAG(Y 3 Al 5 O 12 ) distributed in the triangular grain boundary, and a Y-Al-O glass phase from AlN-Y 2 O 3 . The mechanism of NITE joining could be attributed to the incoherent growth of the newly generated α-SiC in the joining layer along the α-SiC substrate. The maximum room-temperature strength of the joints was 320.5 ± 37.6 MPa. When the test temperatures were 1000 °C, 1200 °C, and 1400 °C, the flexural strength reached 238.7 ± 33.1 MPa, 215.5 ± 52.5 MPa, and 166.9 ± 52.0 MPa, respectively. After immersing the joints in a concentrated HNO 3 for 168 h, the flexural strength was 173.3 ± 12.6 MPa. The joints' excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance reveal great application potential under extreme conditions.
