Abstract

Boron carbide is the basic constituent of multi-layered self-healing ceramic matrix composites. In this paper, BCx was prepared by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Oxidation behavior of CVD-BCx was investigated under wet oxygen atmospheres at the temperature ranged from 700 to 1200°C, combined with the thermodynamic calculation of B2O 3 volatilization with water vapor. The oxidation mechanism of CVD-BCx and the effect of water vapor on the oxidation behavior of CVD-BCx were analyzed. It is found that, at intermediate temperature (700°C), with the increment of water vapor content, oxidation of CVD-BC x turns from passive mode to active mode. While at high temperature (1000-1200°C), the influence of water vapor on the oxidation behavior of CVD-BCx becomes less, the temperature is the main factor influencing the oxidation of CVD-BCx.
