Abstract

Abstract: To improve the anti-ablation properties, the ZrB₂-SiC ultra-high ceramic coatings were successfully fabricated on the C/C composites surface by slurry dipping and liquid silicon infiltration process. Their ablation resistances properties were determined by using an equipment of oxygen-propane torch test. The results show that the bonding strength between the coating and C/C matrix is relatively high due to the formation of reactive SiC layer. The ZrB₂-SiC coating has a well protection from oxygen-propane fire ablation at 1500℃ for 600 s. The whole coating keep integrity avoiding the C/C matrix from oxidation and ablation during the test. The microstructure indicates that ZrB₂-SiC coating has some ZrO₂ phase and ultra-high temperature ceramics phase after the test, which proves that the coating also has much longer life for the protection of C/C composites at high temperature airflow erosion environment. The anti-ablation forms of the ZrB₂-SiC coating are mainly thermo chemistry corrosion and mechanical erosion.

Key words: C/C composites, ultra-high temperature ceramic coatings, ablation properties
