Abstract

A SiC/Si/MoSi2 multi-coating for graphite materials was prepared by a two-step technique. SiC whisker reinforcement coating was produced by pyrolysis of hydrogen silicone oil (H-PSO) at 1600°C, and then the dense coating was formed by embedding with the powder mixture of Si, graphite and MoSi2 at 1600°C in argon atmosphere. The microstructure, thickness, phase and oxidation resistance of the coating were investigated. Research results showed that, the phase of multi-coating was composed of SiC, Si and MoSi2. The thickness of the coating was about 300μm. In addition, the coating combined with matrix well, and surface was continuous and dense. The oxidation pretreatment experiment was carried out in the static air at 1400°C for 4h before thermal failure tests and the specimens had 0.045% weight gain. Subsequent thermal failure tests showed that, the SiC/Si/MoSi2 multi-coating had excellent anti-oxidation property, which could protect graphite materials from oxidation at 1000°C in air for 12h and the corresponding weight loss was below 1wt%. Based on the surface morphology changes, oxidation pretreatment experiment and thermal failure tests enhanced densification of multi-coating and the coating had a certain self-healing ability.
