Abstract

To improve the ablation resistance of carbon/carbon (C/C) composites at temperature about 2200 K, a ZrB2-SiC-TiSi2 ultra-high temperature ceramic coating was prepared by supersonic atmosphere plasma spraying on SiC coated C/C composites. The ZrB2-SiC-TiSi2 coating could protect C/C composites for more than 240 s under heat flux of 2400 kW/m2. The maximum surface temperature of the sample can reach to 2230 K. In addition, the mass and linear ablation rates of the coated samples after ablation for 240 s are only (0.314 ± 0.065) × 10−3 g/s and (0.221 ± 0.026) × 10−3 mm/s, respectively. The ZrB2-SiC-TiSi2 coating was converted into three layers after ablation: an outer layer, a particle-stacking layer, and a molten filled layer. The production of ZrTiO4, acting as sintering additive, could promote the sintering of ZrO2 and fill the pores, which effectively improved the ablation resistance of ZrB2-SiC-TiSi2 coating.
