摘要
C/C-SiC composites have the potentiality to be applied in shield pumps of nuclear reactors as the bearing material because of their low density,good mechanical properties and excellent tribological properties.The C/C-SiC composites are fabricated via reactive melt infiltration(RMI)using silicon liquid infiltrated in C/C matrix composites.Friction and wear behaviors of C/C-SiC composites under water lubricated conditions are investigated using the block-on-ring test at room temperature,and compared with those of the resin graphite which is used as the bearing material in shield pumps at present.In addition,friction and wear mechanisms of C/C-SiC composites under water lubricated conditions have been discussed.Results show that tensile strengths of C/C-SiC composites are 150210 MPa,and compressive strengths are 403536 MPa.Friction and wear behaviors of C/C-SiC composites are closely related to the load and the speed.The time to reach a stable friction status decreases with the increase of the speed.Though the friction coefficient of C/C-SiC composites under water lubricated conditions is slightly higher than that of graphite,the wear rate of C/C-SiC composites is much lower,which suggests that the C/C-SiC composites can sustain a longer life during operation.
