Abstract
Efficient and appropriate composition design of multi-elemental UHTCs for extremely thermal protection is in great demand and promising for carbon-based materials. Based on (Hf-Zr-Ta-Nb)C protective coating system via plasma spraying, the synergistic effects were clarified through several steps: data collection, mechanism analysis, composition optimization and experiment verification. Results showed that, (Hf0.25Zr0.25Ta0.25Nb0.25)C coating exhibited insufficient protective ability (2000 °C, < 120 s), due to the similar content ratio of high-melting-point and low-melting-point phases. The decline of Ta or Nb relative content effectively improved ablation property, attributed to the supporting effect of more retained (Hf, Zr)O2 skeleton phases. After further screening for the proper composition of Hf, Zr, Ta and Nb elements, the (Hf0.45Zr0.45Nb0.1)C protective system was optimized and verified step by step, which delightfully showed long-term ablation property (2000 °C, > 300 s) with nearly zero linear ablation rate.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the European Ceramic Society publishes the results of original research and reviews relating to ceramic materials. Papers of either an experimental or theoretical character will be welcomed on a fully international basis. The emphasis is on novel generic science concerning the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of polycrystalline ceramics consolidated at high temperature. Papers may relate to any of the conventional categories of ceramic: structural, functional, traditional or composite. The central objective is to sustain a high standard of research quality by means of appropriate reviewing procedures.
