The microstructure, mechanical properties, and the water vapor corrosion behavior of the samples were investigated. The BSAS coating was found to be tightly bonded to the substrate and only a few pores and microcracks were observed. The introduction of a silicon middle layer was revealed to reduce thermal stress and promote the healing of defects formed during the laser cladding process. To evaluate the corrosion resistance, the BSAS and Si/BSAS-coated C/SiC com- posites were exposed to an atmosphere of 50% H2O and 50% O2 at 1250 ℃. The resulting weight change and flexural strength were measured as a function of the corrosion time. The addition of the silicon middle layer below the BSAS top layer resulted in a better resistance to water vapor corrosion. Furthermore, the Si/BSAS-coated samples showed a lower weight loss and a smaller reduction in flexural strength than the BSAS-coated and the uncoated samples during water vapor corrosion. Thus, laser cladding is dem- onstrated to be an effective and feasible method to fabricate high-quality ceramic coatings on C/SiC composites. The introduction of a silicon middle layer can inhibit defect formation during the laser clad- ding process and protect the composite from water vapor corrosion.展开更多

Electron microscope results showed that nanotubes with uniform length and diameter were obtained. The diameters and lengths of these nanotubes were dependent on the pore diameter and the thickness of the applied anodic aluminum oxide template. High resolution transmission electron microscopy and the selected-area electron diffraction pattern investigations demonstrated the perovskite structure and the polycrystalline of the fabricated barium-strontium titanate nanotubes. The characterization of the electrical and dielectric properties had also been made. Compared to thin film material, the intrinsic leakage current density is almost the same. Besides, at 30 ℃ the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the fabricated nanotube is 80 and 0.027 at 1 MHz respectively.展开更多
