文摘β-Sialon has emerged as a promising material for enhancing the service life of Al_(2)O_(3)-C refractories due to its excellent physicochemical properties.The impact of varying concentrations of nanometer Al/Si alloy on the in-situ synthesis of β-Sialon within Al_(2)O_(3)-C refractory materials,as well as its oxidation behavior,was investigated.The findings indicate that the presence of Al/Si alloy promotes the formation of AlN and SiC whiskers at 1300℃,which subsequently facilitate the production of plate-like β-Sialon at 1500℃.Density functional theory analysis reveals that the(020)crystal plane of β-Sialon exhibits the lowest adsorption energy for Al2O and AlO molecules under the influence of iron atoms,suggesting a solid-liquid-vapor growth mechanism for β-Sialon formation.The introduction of these ceramic phases significantly enhances the mechanical properties of Al_(2)O_(3)-C refractories.Specifically,the addition of 6 wt.%Al/Si alloy yielded specimens with the highest cold modulus of rupture and cold crushing strength at 1500℃,achieving values of 35.2 and 127.5 MPa,respectively--representing increases of 40.1%and 37.4%.Furthermore,during high-temperature oxidation,the formation of plate-like β-Sialon leads to the development of a dense protective layer on the surface.This impedes the diffusion pathways of oxygen and consequently enhances the oxidation resistance of the refractory.
