Abstract
Si–Mo–Cr oxidation protective coating has been prepared on the surface of C/SiC coated carbon/carbon (C/C) composites by pack cementation technique. The phase composition and microstructure of the as prepared coatings were characterised by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersion spectrum (EDS) analyses. The oxidation behaviour of the coated C/C specimens was also investigated at 1500°C in air. The results show that the as prepared coating is mainly composed of SiC, MoSi2, CrSi2 and Si. The coating characterised by excellent oxidation resistance and thermal shock resistance can effectively protect C/C composites from oxidation for 186 h at 1500°C in air and endure the thermal cycle between 1500°C and room temperature for nine times, while the corresponding weight loss is only 0·33%. The excellent oxidation protection ability of the coating is primarily attributed to the formation of a compound glass layer, including SiO2 and Cr2O3.
