Abstract

A layered graphitic CVD B-C coating was introduced between two CVD SiC coating layers. Microstructure and chemical characterization of the CVD B-C and the hybrid SiC/B-C/SiC multilayer coating was performed using SEM, EDS, XPS and XRD. Oxidation protection ability of the coating for the C/SiC composite was studied using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) in the isothermal mode and by measuring residual flexural strength. The layered graphitic CVD B-C coating middle layer reduced the maximum crack width in the CVD SiC coating. The hybrid SiC/B-C/SiC multilayer coating provided a better oxidation protection for C/SiC composite than a three layer CVD SiC coating due to coating crack control and sealing effects at temperatures up to 1,300°C for 900 min.
