Ultrahigh temperature ceramics, so-called UHTCs, represent a class of materials that can operate under extreme conditions such as ultra-high temperatures (i.e., beyond 2000℃). [1][2][3] They have been investigated within the context of aerospace, for example, leading edges and control surfaces for atmospheric re-entry, hypersonic flight, and scramjet propulsion or with respect to nuclear power applications such as fuel cladding materials or non-oxidic fuels. 2,[4][5][6] UHTCs are characterized by tremendously high melting points, high hardness, stiffness and strength even at (ultra)high temperatures as well as high thermal conductivity. 7-10 Despite their highly attractive properties, there are still challenges related to the development of UHTCs, for example, concerning their sluggish self-diffusion which impedes their sintering ability, [11][12][13][14][15][16] or their rather fair ultrahigh temperature oxidation/ corrosion resistance. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23] In order to overcome these issues, secondary phases, typically silicon-containing, are considered for the sintering of UHTCs and to additionally provide an improvement of their oxidation behavior. Typically, 10-20 vol.% of silica former phases such as SiC, Si 3 N 4 or metal silicides, for example, MoSi 2 have
