Abstract

This work proposes a multi-composition oxidation resistant coating for SiC-coated carbon/carbon (C/C) composites by slurry method using the mixture of Y2O3, ZrO2, Al2O3, Si and C. XRD analysis shows that the phases of the composite coating are composed of SiC, Al2O3, Y2O3, ZrO2, Al4SiC4 and Y3Al2(AlO4)3. SEM analysis of the cross section of the coating displays the microstructure with 500 μm thickness which filled the porous SiC. Oxidation test shows that, after 19 h oxidation in air at 1873 K, the weight loss of the coated SiC-C/C is only 1.76%. The oxidation of the coated C/C composites was primarily due to the reaction of C/C matrix and oxygen diffusing through the penetrable cracks and bubble holes in the coating.
