Abstract

A TaxHf1-xB2-SiC coating was prepared by in-situ reaction method on SiC coated C/C composites. TaxHf1-xB2 phase is the form of solid solution between TaB2 and HfB2. Isothermal oxidation behavior at 1773K and ablation behavior of the coated C/C were tested. TaxHf1-xB2-SiC/SiC coating could protect the C/C from oxidation at 1773K for 1480h and ablation above 2200K for 40s. During oxidation, oxides of Ta and Hf atoms exist as "pinning phases" in the compound glass layer consisted of outer Ta-Si-O compound silicate layer and inner SiO2 glass layer, which was responsible for the excellent oxidation resistance.
