Abstract:In this study, for the first time, ZrC coating was deposited on SiC coated graphite by optimized atmospheric plasma spray (i.e. solid shielding shrouded plasma spray (SSPS)) method. Then SSPS-ZrC coatings were compared with the atmospheric plasma spray APS-ZrC coatings. The results indicated that the the SSPS-ZrC coated sample had lower porosity compared with APS-ZrC coating (3% and 7.5% respectively) and the ablation test revealed that the linear and mass ablation rates of the ZrC coating applied by APS metho… Show more
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.
