Abstract Ultra-high temperature ceramics is a kind of ceramic materials which is hard to melt above 2000℃. Ultra-high temperature ceramics is outstanding performance in electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. Zirconium diboride has to suffer ultra-high-temperature that might be over 2700ºC. However, the highest working temperature we can achieve for the testing of the mechanical properties of such kind of materials is less than 1500 ºC, far from the need for the testing of the material at its actual temperature. Moreover, the high temperature furnaces are low-usage, and have a long experimental period. Making good use of the electrical and thermal conductivities, we could heat a Zirconium diboride specimen with electrical current. The electrical heating of a Zirconium diboride specimen is simulated with the commercial available finite element code ABAQUS. The temperature and cooling of copper electrodes and that of collets, is also analyzed, and the temperature distributions are obtained. In order to achieve reasonable distribution of temperature in the specimen, the copper electrodes and the collets, the corresponding cooling system is designed, and the cooling liquids are selected.

要:超高温陶瓷材料通常是指能在 2000℃以上的高温下使用的一类具有良好的导电性和导热性的难熔陶瓷材料,其
工作温度可达 2700℃,而目前我国国内的高温力学性能测试设备的最高工作温度仅达 1500℃左右,并且高温炉利用率低, 实验周期长,寿命短,远不能满足此类材料超高温力学特性测试的需要。实验中以硼化锆为例,采用电加热加热模式, 使用 ABAQUS 软件对硼化锆的电加热、通电及夹持系统的冷却进行了数值模拟,得到了合理的温度场分布。并从冷却介 质的选择和冷却水槽的设计两方面入手,对与电加热系统相适应的冷却系统进行设计。 关键词:超高温陶瓷;硼化锆;电加热;冷却系统;数值模拟
