Zirconia Transport by Liquid Convection during Oxidation of Zirconium Diboride–Silicon Carbide
Bibliographic record
Abstract
During high‐temperature oxidation of ZrB 2 –SiC composites, a multi‐layer oxide scale forms with a silica‐rich borosilicate liquid as the surface oxide layer. Here, a recently proposed novel mechanism for the high‐temperature oxidation of ZrB 2 –SiC composites is further investigated and verified. This mechanism involves the formation of convection cells in the oxide surface layer during high‐temperature oxidation of the composite. The formation of zirconia deposits found in the center of the convection cells is proposed here to be the consequence of liquid transport. The nature and deposition mechanism of the zirconia is reported in detail, using calculated phase equilibrium diagrams and microstructure observations of a ZrB 2 ‐15 vol% SiC composite tested at 1550° and 1700°C in ambient air for various times. The calculated phase equilibrium diagrams for the binary ZrO 2 –B 2 O 3 system as well as the ternary B 2 O 3 –SiO 2 –ZrO 2 system at 1500°C are reported here to interpret these results.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
