Isothermal uniaxial compression tests of ceramic core samples were conducted on a Gleeble-1500D mechanical simulator with an innovative auxiliary thermal system. The stress\u2013strain results and macro- and micro- structures of SiO2-based ceramic cores were investigated experimentally. The microstructures were characterized by the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Based on the experimental data, a nonlinear constitutive model for high temperature compressive damage was established. The statistical results of Weibull moduli show that the stability of hot deformation increases with the increase of temperature. The fracture type of the SiO2-based core samples is brittle fracture, but when the temperature exceeds 1400 \u00b0C, the mechanical behavior exhibits thermo-viscoelastic and viscoplastic property. Under high-temperature (&gt;1400 \u00b0C) and stress conditions, the strength of the ceramic core is weakened owing to the viscous slip of SiO2, which is initially melted at the temperature of 1400 \u00b0C. The comparison results between the predictions of nonlinear model and experimental values indicate that the model is applicable.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma13204579","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,14]],"date-time":"2020-10-14T21:24:39Z","timestamp":1602710679000},"page":"4579","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["High-Temperature Mechanical Behaviors of SiO2-Based Ceramic Core for Directional Solidification of Turbine Blades"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Jiangwei","family":"Zhong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Advanced Materials Processing Technology (MOE), School of Materials Science and Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9789-7886","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qingyan","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Advanced Materials Processing Technology (MOE), School of Materials Science and Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"128","article-title":"The new Siemens gas turbine SGT5-8000H for more customer benefit","volume":"87","author":"Ratliff","year":"2007","journal-title":"VGB Powertech"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"111","DOI":"10.1016\/j.applthermaleng.2016.10.083","article-title":"Evaluation of synchronous execution of full repowering and solar assisting in a 200 MW steam power plant, a case study","volume":"112","author":"Ahmadi","year":"2017","journal-title":"Appl.
