Abstract

A compound glass coating with micro-pores, derived from the pre-oxidation of the porous HfSi2-SiC-Si coating, was fabricated on SiC-coated C/C composites. The coating resisted cracking by introducing micro-pores and compressive stress, which blocked oxygen diffusion and covered penetrable cracks in the SiC inner coating. A dual-layer structure for synergistic anti-oxidation was formed during oxidation at 1773 K and uniformly distributed Hf-oxides reduced the volatilization of SiO2 at 1973 K in the compound glass coating. Therefore, the coating could protect C/C composites against oxidation for 447 h at 1773 K and 45 h at 1973 K.
