Abstract

Sols of yttria-stabilized zirconia may be used as simple, readily processable and accurate controllable precursors for the ZrO 2 interfacial coatings on SiC-based Nicalon™ fibers. The ZrO 2 interfacial coatings of predictable crystal phase compositions were obtained in dependence of yttria dopant level. The morphology, composition and oxidation resistance of coated fibers were evaluated by SEM, EDS, XPS, XRD, and Raman analysis. All coatings obtained are uniform, continuous and adherent to substrates. The delamination within the ZrO 2 interfacial coating was found. Possible reasons of this phenomenon are discussed. The peculiarities of the behavior of Y-stabilized ZrO 2-coated fibers in air at elevated temperature are considered.
