Abstract

Silicide coatings have proven to be promising for improving the high-temperature oxidation resistance of niobium alloy. However, the long-term protective property of single silicide coating remains a long-time endeavor due to the deficiency of oxygen-consuming phases, as well as the self-healing ability of the protective layer. Herein, a silicide-based composite coating is constructed on niobium alloy by incorporation of nano-SiC particles for enhancing the high-temperature oxidation resistance. Isothermal oxidation results at 1250 °C for 50 h indicate that NbSi2/Nb2O5-SiO2/SiC multilayer coated sample with a low mass gain of 2.49 mg/cm2 shows an improved oxidation resistance compared with NbSi2 coating (6.49 mg/cm2). The enhanced high-temperature antioxidant performance of NbSi2/Nb2O5-SiO2/SiC multilayer coating is mainly attributed to the formation of the protective SiO2 self-healing film and the high-temperature diffusion behavior of NbSi2/substrate.
