Abstract
The high-temperature oxidation susceptibility of tantalum-based alloys severely limits their engineering applications in elevated-temperature environments. In this study, a Yb2O3-modified MoSi2 composite ceramic coating was successfully fabricated on a tantalum substrate through a two-step process combining slurry sintering and embedded siliconization, with systematic investigation of its ultra-high-temperature oxidation resistance and failure mechanisms. The ceramic coating exhibits a gradient structure comprising a Yb2O3-MoSi₂ main layer, a TaSi₂ diffusion layer, and a Ta₅Si₃ transition layer. Under ultra-high-temperature oxidation at 1800 °C, the ceramic coating demonstrates an effective protection duration of 5.5 h. The continuous SiO₂ glass film formed synergistically inhibits oxygen permeation with Yb₂Si₂O₇/Yb₂SiO₅ silicates. Yb³⁺ stabilizes the SiO₂ network structure by reducing non-bridging oxygen content, thereby enhancing oxide film viscosity and impeding oxygen diffusion. This research provides new insights into the compositional design and performance optimization of ultra-high-temperature protective ceramic coatings, advancing the application of tantalum-based materials in aerospace and energy-related fields.
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.
