A PHASE FIELD MODEL FOR HYDROTHERMAL CORROSION IN SILICON CARBIDE

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

In this work, we develop a phase-field model for simulating steam attack on SiC. The model captures the paralinear reaction kinetics for the oxidation of SiC to a high degree of accuracy. Further, our analysis qualitatively suggests that the increased reaction surface for volatilization due to the presence of voids can possibly explain the increase in the apparent volatilization constant observed experimentally.
