摘要

Ablation behavior of ZrB2-SiC-ZrO2 ceramics with two ZrO2 contents was investigated using oxyacetylene torch. Thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated that ceramic with 10vol% ZrO2 showed initial weight change at higher temperature than the one with 20 vol% ZrO2. After same ablation condition, lighter oxidized microstructure and lower weight loss and line gain were obtained from ceramic with 10 vol% ZrO2. Ablation mechanism revealed that excessive ZrO2 would
