Abstract
ZrB2 ceramics have been developed for various structural and functional applications in ultrahigh temperature environments 1 2 3 4 5 The addition of SiC has been shown to be effective in enhancing the sinterability mechanical properties and oxidation resistance of ZrB2 5 6 7 8 Although some experimental results 9 10 11 reported that the addition of SiC particle also improves the thermal conductivity of ZrB2 no systematic study has been conducted to prove the effectiveness of SiC dispersion on the thermal properties of SiC particledispersed ZrB2 matrix composites hereafter denotes as SiC/ZrB2 composites In this study SiC/ZrB2 composites with different SiC particle volume fraction were fabricated and effect of the SiC particle volume fraction on thermal properties of SiC/ZrB2 composites were examined
