Abstract

To improve the ablation resistance of HfC coating, HfC-MoSi2 coatings with different MoSi2 content were prepared on SiC-coated carbon/carbon (C/C) composites by supersonic atmospheric plasma spraying (SAPS). The effects of MoSi2 content on the microstructure, phase composition and ablation behavior of HfC-MoSi2 coating were investigated. The ablation resistance of as-prepared coatings was tested under the oxyacetylene flame with a heat flux of 2.4 MW/m2. The results showed that the HfC-(25 vol%) MoSi2 coating exhibited better ablation resistance, and its mass and linear ablation rate are 0.23 mg/s and 0.48 µm/s, respectively. Such good performance was ascribed to the formation of Hf-Si-O compound phases, which effectively filled the diffusion channel of oxygen and improved the compactness of the coating.
