Abstract: To prevent carbon/carbon composites from oxidation, a MoSi2-Mo5Si3/SiC multi-coating was prepared by the
chemical vapor reaction (CVR) technique and slurry method. The formation mechanism and structure of the multi-coating were studied by using XRD, SEM and EDS analysis, and then the anti-oxidation property of the multi-coating was investigated. The results show that the thickness of obtained coating is about 400μm, and the main phase are composed of β-SiC, MoSi2 and Mo5Si3. After oxidation in air at 1350℃ for 10h, the weight loss of the multi-coating is only 1.21%, which is obviously lower than that of single-layer SiC coating. The phases of MoSi2 and Mo5Si3 formed in the MoSi2-Mo5Si3/SiC multi-coating fill the cracks and holes in the monolayer SiC coating, which can improve the anti-oxidation ability of the multi-coating. So the multi-coating made by the complex technology possesses more compact structure and better anti-oxidation property.
