A ZrB2-SiC coating with uniformly distributed ZrB2 for protecting C/C composites against oxidation at high temperature

Key Points

• ZrB2-SiC coating significantly reduces oxidation levels in C/C composites, enhancing longevity.
• The study shows a 30% improvement in oxidation resistance at temperatures exceeding 1500°C.
• Observational analysis across various temperatures indicates uniform distribution of ZrB2 within the SiC coating.
• These findings support the potential for durable materials in high-temperature applications.
