Abstract

SiC/Cr-Al-Si anti-oxidation coating on the surface of carbon-carbon composites is prepared by two-step pack cementation method. The phase compositions, microstructure and element distribution on the section of samples of the received SiC/Cr-Al-Si coating are studied by XRD, SEM, and the isothermal oxidation test of samples in air is finished at 1500°C. The study results show that a SiC/Cr-Al-Si coating of 120 mm thickness is obtained, which consists of mainly three phases of SiC, AlCr 2Si and Al 4Si 2C. Compared with the SiC coating prepared by one-step pack cementation method, the SiC/Cr-Al-Si coating prepared by two-step pack cementation method shows better oxidation resistance. The weight loss of the carbon-carbon sample with SiC/Cr-Al-Si coating is less than 5% after oxidizing for 12 hours. There are microcracks in the SiC/Cr-Al-Si coating, which is thought the main reason why the received SiC/Cr-Al-Si coating failed. In the secondary pack cementation, Cr-Al-Si diffuses into SiC coating but not covers on SiC coating, which is though the other reason why the received SiC/Cr-Al-Si coating failed.
