Abstract
This study investigates the effect of SiC whiskers (SiCw) on the ablation/oxidation resistance of high-entropy carbides (TiZrHfNbTa)C. High-entropy carbide-SiCw composites were prepared by powder metallurgy and spark plasma sintering. The ablation resistance was evaluated in an oxyacetylene flame at 2100°C/60 s. It was found that increasing SiCw content significantly improved the ablation resistance, and the dynamic oxidation rate decreased by up to 84% for the sample with 10 wt.% SiCw. This improvement is linked to the formation of a protective interfacial layer, which effectively impedes the ingress of oxygen. Microstructural analysis confirmed a denser oxide layer with reduced porosity with higher SiCw content. These results underline the strategic importance of SiCw for the development of materials resistant to extreme conditions.
