Abstract
ZrC-20vol.%MoSi2 (ZM) composite coating was fabricated by vacuum plasma spray and the ablation resistance was assessed using plasma flame under low (1.94 MW/m2) and high (3.01 MW/m2) heat fluxes, respectively. Results showed that the ultimate surface temperatures of ZM coating were about 2100 °C and 2400 °C, respectively. ZM coating exhibited good ablation resistance at low heat flux, which benefited from the low evaporation of SiO2 and the diffusion of Si derived from MoSi2 decomposition. However, bubble-burst event took place under high heat flux. The different ablation behaviors of ZrC-MoSi2 coating were analyzed, which might contribute to the application of ultra-high temperature ceramic coatings.
