Abstract
The objective of the present investigation is to study the oxidation resistance of SiO2/SiC coating on carbon fiber by electrolytic plasma spraying. The SiO2/SiC coating can be easily prepared within several tens seconds through this approach. The effect of spraying parameters (fixed point 5s and spray 5 times at the speed of 20mm/s) on the microstructure and oxidation resistance properties of coatings was discussed in this paper. Scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric (TG) and DTG have been used to characterize the SiO2/SiC coatings. It was demonstrated that fixed-point spray 5s has better density and oxidation resistance coating, and the oxidation resistance increased by 12% compared with spray 5 times at the speed of 20mm/s. The fixed-point spray 5s coating was mainly composed of SiO2 and SiC. The SiO2 relative content was 72.6% and the SiC relative content was 27.4%.
