Abstract

Zirconium carbide (ZrC) components were induced as coating modification on carbon/carbon (C/C). These ZrC–C/C specimens were investigated after atomic oxygen (AO) exposure for different assessment times, low earth orbit (LEO) ground-based environmental simulator was employed. The results indicate that ZrO₂ is the major production generated by the AO chemical reaction with the ZrC coating. Upon further exposure to AO, the production of ZrO₂ would drop off, then exfoliate easily, due to the mechanical impacting effect. Then the exposed graphite matrix and carbon fiber get corroded. Amorphous diamond-like carbon (DLC) is detected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy during AO exposure. Bending strength performance increased by 25% under AO exposure at first 10 h, then dropped by 52.1% from 10 h to 30 h of AO exposure. The AO damage mechanisms of ZrC–C/C composites are revealed.
