Abstract
In order to improve the oxidation resistance of carbon/carbon composites at intermediate temperatures, a novel double-layer SiC/indialite coating was prepared by a simple and low-cost method. The internal SiC transition layer was prepared by pack cementation and the external indialite glass–ceramic coating was produced by in situ crystallization of ternary MgO–Al 2O 3–SiO 2 glass. The microstructures and morphologies of coating were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Oxidation resistance of the as-coated C/C composites was evaluated in ambient air at temperature from 800 °C to 1200 °C. Nearly neglectable mass loss was measured after 100 h isothermal oxidation test, indicating that SiC/indialite coating possesses excellent oxidation protection ability. The as-coated samples have a good thermal shock resistance and no obvious damage was found in the coating even after suffered more than 11 thermal cycles between test temperature and room temperature. The oxidation protection mechanism of this coating was also discussed.
