Abstract

To improve the oxidation resistance of carbon/carbon (C/C) composites, a dense HfC nanowire-toughened Si-Mo-Cr/SiC multilayer coating was prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and pack cementation. The microstructure, thermal shock and isothermal oxidation resistance of the coating were investigated. HfC nanowires could improve the toughness of the coating and suppress the coating cracking. After incorporating HfC nanowires in the coating, both of the thermal shock and isothermal oxidation resistance of the coating were obviously improved. The multilayer coating with HfC nanowires could effectively protect C/C composites at 1773K for 270h, whose weight loss is only 0.19%. The good oxidation resistance is mainly attributed to the formation of a compound glass layer containing SiO2 and Cr2O3.
