1. During the screening tests on DLR's bench M3 (GHz/GO,),variousC/Sic-probesweresubjectedto hot [l] gas temperaturesaround2800 K. Specimenswithout protection against oxidation exhibited a relatively moderateloss in weight (criterion for ablation) at temperaturesbelow 2270 K, whereasan exponential [2] lossin weightwasfound at temperaturesbeyond2270 K. At temperaturesbelow2270K, specimenswith antioxidation coatings were practically not affected by W. Schafer,S.Beyer,U.
