摘要:
A carbon nanotube-enhanced SiC (CNT-SiC) coating was deposited on C/C composites to improve the oxidation resistance of C/C. The CNT-SiC coating was prepared by direct growth of CNTs on C/C surface at 700 degrees C followed by deposition of SiC using chemical vapor deposition at 1150 degrees C for 1 h. SIC was deposited on the CNTs as well as the interface between CNTs and C/C, making CNTs strongly rooted on C/C surface. The final CNT-SiC coating consisted of two layers: the CNT-SiC layer and SiC layer. In comparison to the SiC coating, the CNT-SiC coating showed fewer cracks and a better oxidation resistance because the CNTs reduce the stress in the coating caused by the mismatch of the coefficient of thermal expansion between C/C and SiC.
