Abstract

Obtaining coatings with excellent ablation resistance is a longstanding challenge for the ablation protection of carbon/carbon (C/C) composites. In this work, a single phase Hf0.75Zr0.25N solid solution ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTC) coating was proposed, and prepared on the surface of C/C composites by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) for the first time. The results revealed that the hardness and Young's modulus of Hf0.75Zr0.25N coating are higher than those of HfN and ZrN coatings, reaching 33.35 GPa and 316.42 GPa, respectively. After ablation for 180 s under oxygen acetylene flame with a temperature exceeding 2200 °C, the Hf0.75Zr0.25N coating retained its structural integrity and exhibited lower ablation (Rm: 0.26 mg/s; Rh: 0.32 μm/s). This is mainly attributed to the formation of the dense Hf-Zr-O oxide scale promoted by the oxidation sintering reaction during ablation. The above results indicate the nitride solid solution UHTC has great potential as ablation resistance coating at ultra-high temperatures.
