Coatings on graphite with a high heat resistance at a temperature of 1400 ° C in an air atmosphere are prepared on the basis of the ZrB 2 -MoSi 2 -SiO 2 system. It is demonstrated that the sealing vitreous layer is formed through oxidation of the composite components. The kinetic analysis of oxidation processes of the ZrB 2 -MoSi 2 composite shows that the coating formation results from a set of concurrent and consecutive chemical reactions. The stages of forming the gas-impermeable layer are revealed, the schemes for oxidation reactions are proposed, and the kinetic parameters of reactions are determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
