摘要:

当凝固速率在0.3~9.0mm/min范围之内均可通过定向凝固技术获得在硅基体中均匀分布且定向排列的Si-TaSi2共晶自生复合材料。非常有趣的是在凝固速率为6.0mm/min时出现了一两个弯曲的纤维,通常这种纤维是非常脆的。首先讨论了弯曲纤维的形成机理。采用纳米压痕技术测试了弯曲纤维和直纤维的力学性能。研究表明,弯曲TaSi2纤维的硬度和弹性模量均大于直TaSi2纤维的硬度和弹性模量。此外,本文讨论了弯曲纤维和直纤维的力学性能力学性能差异的原因。这主要是由于两相的热膨胀系数的差异和不同的晶体学方向所导致的。

Abstract:

The Si-TaSi2 eutectic in situ composite, which has highly-aligned and uniformly-distributed TaSi2 fibers in the Si matrix, can be obtained when the solidification rate changes from 0.3 to 9.0 mm/min. It is very interesting that one or two TaSi2 fibers are curved when the solidification rate reaches 6.0 mm/min, although it is very brittle in general. The formation mechanism of the curved fiber is discussed and mechanical properties of the TaSi2 fibers are examined by nanoindentation. It is found that the hardness and the elastic modulus of the bended TaSi2 fiber are much higher than that of the straight TaSi2 fiber. Moreover, the reasons why the mechanical properties of the straight TaSi2 fiber are different from that of the curved TaSi2 fiber are discussed. This can be ascribed to internal stress which results from mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficients of the two phases and di®erent crystallographic orientations.
