Popis: SiC–ZrC ablation resistance coating was prepared on the surface of carbon fiber reinforced carbon (C/C) composites by simple pack cementation combined with low-cost slurry infiltration method. The results showed that SiC–ZrC coating could effectively protect C/C composites from ablation for 45 s at 3723 K under oxyacetylene torch. The mass and linear ablation rates (0.038 ± 0.01 mg/(s cm 2 ) and 2.42 ± 0.15 μm/s) were largely reduced compared with that of uncoated C/C composites (0.530 ± 0.01 mg/(s cm 2 ) and 1.75 ± 0.15 μm/s) after ablation for 20 s. The good ablation protective ability of SiC–ZrC coating is mainly attributed to the volatilization of SiO 2 and the formation of ZrO 2 .
