Popis: To protect carbon/carbon (C/C) composites against ablation, a TaB 2 SiC coating was prepared on their surface by pack cementation. Ablation behavior of the coated C/C composites was investigated under oxyacetylene torch. After ablation for 30 s, the linear ablation rate of the TaB 2 SiC coated C/C composites was 4.2 μm/s. Compared with the SiC coated C/C composites and bare C/C composites, the linear ablation rate was reduced by 40% and 51%, respectively. During ablation, a mosaic-structured Ta Si O glassy layer was formed, playing a positive role in preventing oxidizing species from attacking C/C substrate. Oxidation products of TaB 2 , existing as “pinning phases” in the coating, induced the deflection of the crack formed by the attack of oxyacetylene torch, which was beneficial to enhance the stability of TaB 2 SiC coating and improve the ablation resistance.
