Characteristics of ZrC Barrier Coating on SiC-Coated Carbon/Carbon Composite Developed by Thermal Spray Process

A thick ZrC layer was successfully coated on top of a SiC buffer layer on carbon/carbon (C/C) composites by vacuum plasma spray (VPS) technology to improve the ablation resistance of the C/C composites. An optimal ZrC coating condition was determined by controlling the discharge current. The ZrC lay...
