Al2O3material with high heat capacity and high thermal conductivity was in situ formed to bond with SiC for synthesizing Al2O3/SiC composite ceramics by the removal of silica in aluminosilicate precursor using carbothermal reduction method. Phase transformation, microstructural evolution, and the relevant variations in properties were studied in the temperature range 1460–1580 °C. Results indicated that the addition of Y2O3improved the carbothermal reaction rate significantly and decreased the finish temperature of carbothermal reaction to 1500 °C. Incorporation of the in situ formed Al2O3could lower the sintering temperature of SiC ceramic without decreasing the heat capacity. By sintering at the optimal temperature as 1540 °C, Al2O3/SiC composite ceramics with the heat capacity of 1.16 J/(g·K) and the high thermal conductivity of 13.73 W/(m·K) were obtained. The relatively high thermal conductivity endowed the composites with a good thermal shock resistance. This study was intended to identify the reaction conditions for obtaining sensible thermal storage materials with favorable morphology and properties by using a simple in situ synthesis method.
