Abstract

Two-dimensional carbon-fiber reinforced carbon (C/C) composites were implanted with boron ions with 70 to 360 keV energy, then annealed in an argon atmosphere at 1500°C, and finally coated by a CVD-SiC coating of 50 μm. Isothermal and cyclic oxidation tests were performed on CV-SiC coated C/C composites in flowing dry air at 1350°C. The CVD-SiC coated C/C composites with boron ion implantation exhibited largely lower weight loss than those with a direct SiC coating. A thin boron carbide layer was formed in the surface region of C/C composites by boron ion implantation. This boron carbide layer was found to contribute to enhancing the oxidation resistance of CVD-SiC coated C/C composites
