Two Phase Monazite/Xenotime 30LaPO4-70YPO4 Coating of Ceramic Fiber Tows (Postprint)
Abstract
Equiaxed yttrium-lanthanum phosphate nanoparticles (Y(0.7),La(0.3))PO4(dot)0.7H2O were made and used to continuously coat Nextel(Trademark) 720 fiber tows. The particles were precipitated from a mixture of yttrium and lanthanum citrate chelate and phosphoric acid (H3PO4), and characterized with differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The coated fibers were heat treated at 1000-1300 deg C for 1, 10, and 100 h. Coating grain growth kinetics and coated fiber strengths were determined and compared with equiaxed La-monazite coatings. The relationships between coating porosity, coating hermeticity, and coated fiber strength are discussed.
