“…To improve the thermal stability of the SiO 2 oxide scale on the MoSi 2 coating, one of the research hotspots is to develop MoSi 2 -based composite coatings doped with alloying elements (e.g., B [ 10 , 11 ], Al [ 12 , 13 ], Ti [ 14 ], Zr [ 15 ], and Hf [ 13 ]) or/and oxides (e.g., Al 2 O 3 [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ], ZrO 2 [ 18 , 21 ], HfO 2 [ 18 , 22 ]), carbides (e.g., ZrC [ 23 ]), and borides (e.g., ZrB 2 [ 24 , 25 ]), which have been confirmed to be effective in improving the performance and longevity of the MoSi 2 coating at elevated temperatures. The B-doped MoSi 2 coating has been proven to perform excellent oxidation resistance benefiting from the formation of a protective borosilicate scale on the coating [ 10 , 11 ].…”
