Abstract

Silicon pack cementation has been applied to improve the oxidation resistance of Zr2 Al3C4. The Si pack coating is mainly composed of an inner layer of ZrSi2 and SiC and an outer layer of Al2O3 at 1200 °C. The growth kinetics of silicide coating at 1000-1200 °C obey a parabolic law with an activation energy of 110.3 ± 16.7 kJ/mol, which is controlled by inward diffusion of Si and outward diffusion of Al. Compared with Zr2 Al3C4, the oxidation resistance of siliconized Zr2Al3C4 is greatly improved due to the formation of protective oxidation products, aluminosilicate glass, mullite, and ZrSiO4.
