Abstract

The oxidation behavior and microstructure evolution of Lu2O3–SiC-HfB2 ceramic coating specimen at 1700 °C were investigated systematically by experimental study and first-principles simulation. The prepared ternary coating possesses a compact morphology, which effectively defends C/C substrate against oxidation at 1700 °C for 130 h, showing a good antioxidant property. The formed HfSiO4, Lu2Si2O7, and HfO2 with high melting points play an active role in developing the thermal stability of the oxidized scale. Besides, Lu and Hf atoms incline to diffuse into SiO2, which enhances its structural stability. The improved thermal property of the oxidized scale for the Lu2O3–SiC-HfB2/SiC ceramic coating can delay the effective delivery of oxygen inwardly and thus prolong its oxidation protection time. The quick volatilization of SiO2 at 1700 °C induces that some glass phase evaporates with being not completely stabilized, which causes the formation of holes and the consumption of the inner coating.
