Abstract

Different yttrium silicate coatings for SiC-coated C/C composites were designed and prepared by an atmospheric plasma spray method to prevent the C/C composites from oxidation. XRD profiles showed that the coating was composed of Y2SiO5, Y2Si2O7, and Y4Si3O12. SEM showed that the gradient SiC/Y4Si3O12/ Y2Si2O7/Y2SiO5 coating had a more compact surface than the other coatings did. Isothermal oxidation tests at 1500°C in air showed that the weight loss curves of the as-prepared C/C composites showed a linear tendency with time and the weight loss rate of all coated samples increased significantly after 73 h. The coating could protect the C/C composites from oxidation at 1500°C for 73 h in air with a weight loss rate of 1.01 × 10-4 g · cm-2 · h-1. The SiC/Y4Si3O12/ Y2Si2O7/Y2SiO5 was the better coating at high temperature than other coatings.
