Abstract

Aluminum silicate fiber fabric (ASFF) has been widely used in the outer surface of flexible insulation felt on the leeward side of aerospace vehicle. In order to improve the temperature resistance of ASFF, a kind of SiC–ZrC composite coating was prepared on the surface of fiber fabric via spraying method with SiC as emittance agent and ZrC as additive. The surface morphology and mechanical properties of the coating were studied. Compared with the single-component SiC coating, the composite coating could effectively avoid coating spalling and improve the surface integrity at high temperature. After thermal treatment at 1100 °C for 2 h, the interface bond strength of the composite coating/substrate was 52.41% higher than that of SiC coating/substrate. The tensile strength of fiber fabric with SiC–ZrC composite coating could reach 91.75 MPa, which was 101.76% higher than that of raw ASFF. Therefore, the SiC–ZrC coating could greatly improve the temperature resistance of ASFF, and has an attractive application prospect in the field of thermal protection system.
