Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, the size and shape of the base material on which a protective film can be formed are predetermined for each CVD apparatus, and depending on the size and shape of the base material, it was not possible to form a protective film on its surface. In addition, the process of forming a protective film on the surface of the base material using a CVD apparatus took a considerably long time.

[0006] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a film structure and a film structure regardless of the size and shape of the base material.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] The manufacturing method of the coating structure of the present invention made to solve the above problems is a manufacturing method of a coating structure having a metal-carbon composite coating on a carbon substrate, comprising: a coating step of applying a metal compound-containing substance on the carbon substrate; and a heating step of forming a metal-carbon composite coating on the carbon substrate by heating the coated carbon substrate. In the present specification, the "metal-carbon composite coating" may be one in which a metal carbide alone or a carbon-containing material containing a metal carbide exists in a state where a metal element and a carbon element are bonded in the coating. Further, in the coating, a metal compound other than the metal carbide may be dispersed in the carbon-containing material, that is, it may exist in a state of being mixed or dispersed, rather than in a state where the metal element and the carbon element are bonded. Examples of the metal compound other than the metal carbide include metal oxides, metal nitrides, metal sulfides, and metal hydroxides.

[0008] Here, the coating structure manufactured by the manufacturing method of the coating structure of the present invention has a metal-carbon composite coating on a carbon substrate. For example, it may have a metal-carbon composite coating on at least one surface (e.g., the surface) of the carbon substrate, or on the entire circumferential surface of the carbon substrate. Further, it also includes those having a metal-carbon composite coating on a part of one surface of the carbon substrate.

[0009] First, in the coating step according to the manufacturing method of the coating structure of the present invention, a metal compound-containing substance is applied on the carbon substrate.

The light transmittance in the wavelength range of 500 nm to 700 nm may be 80%T. Although the measured value of the light transmittance may exceed 100%T due to measurement errors or the like, since the theoretical upper limit value is 100%T, when the measured value exceeds 100%T, it is regarded as 100%T.

[0034] Here, the light transmittance in the wavelength range of 500 nm to 700 nm is measured using a spectrophotometer according to the following light transmittance measurement conditions for the metal compound inclusion used in the method for producing the film structure of the present invention.

Further, if necessary, a sample diluted 1000-fold with pure water is used as the measurement sample, and in order to remove dust etc. in the measurement sample immediately before measurement, the measurement sample is filtered through a filter with a pore diameter of 11 μm, and ultrasonic treatment is carried out for 3 minutes with an ultrasonic cleaner (manufactured by AS ONE Corporation: VS-100III). Furthermore, the liquid temperature of the measurement sample is adjusted to 25°C.

More preferably, the heating temperature in the heating step is 1400°C or higher and 2000°C or lower, still more preferably 1500°C or higher and 1900°C or lower, and particularly preferably 1550°C or higher and 1800°C or lower.

[0068] When the heating time in the heating step is 0.5 hours or longer and 2 hours or shorter, it is preferable in that the carbide is sufficiently synthesized. More preferably, the heating time in the heating step is 1 hour or longer and 1.5 hours or shorter, and still more preferably 1.2 hours or longer and 1.4 hours or shorter.

[0069] Further, the method for manufacturing the coating structure of the present invention may further include a drying step between the dipping step and the heating step of the method for manufacturing the coating structure of the present invention described above.

[0070] Placing the carbon substrate impregnated with the metal compound inclusion in a stationary furnace and drying at a drying temperature of 100 ° C for 1 hour is preferable in that excess impurities such as moisture can be removed.

[0071] The drying temperature in the drying step is more preferably 110 ° C or higher and 400 ° C or lower, further preferably 120 ° C or higher and 300 ° C or lower, and particularly preferably 130 ° C or higher and 200 ° C or lower.

[0072] The drying time in the drying step is preferably 0.2 hours or more and 3 hours or less, more preferably 0.3 hours or more and 2 hours or less, and further preferably 0.4 hours or more and 1 hour or less.

[0073] Furthermore, the method for manufacturing the coating structure of the present invention may include a step of cooling the formed metal-carbon composite coating by a heating step. It is preferable to cool the formed metal-carbon composite coating to room temperature by a heating step.

[0074] The metal-carbon composite coating formed on the carbon substrate manufactured by the method for manufacturing the coating structure of the present invention described above may be in a state where a metal element and carbon are present. Preferably, the metal element is more than 0% by mass and 80% by mass or less, and carbon is more than 0% by mass and 50% by mass or less. The mass fractions of the metal element and carbon in the metal-carbon composite coating can be measured, for example, in a substrate cross-section sample, by semi-quantitative analysis using energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) or the like for the metal-carbon composite coating portion.

[0075] In addition, while a large amount of metal elements are present on the surface of the metal-carbon composite film, the proportion of carbon derived from the carbon substrate is higher closer to the carbon substrate. When a metal compound inclusion is applied, metal elements are likely to be present on the surface of the metal-carbon composite film. On the other hand, when the metal-carbon composite film is impregnated with a metal compound inclusion, the proportion of metal elements is relatively higher inside the metal-carbon composite film compared to when it is applied.

[0076] Further, regarding the metal-carbon composite film formed on the carbon substrate produced by the method for manufacturing the film structure of the present invention, from the peaks of the X-ray diffraction pattern obtained by performing X-ray diffraction measurement according to the following X-ray diffraction measurement conditions and X-ray diffraction analysis conditions, it can be confirmed that it is a carbide.

[0077] =X-ray Diffraction Measurement Conditions= · Equipment: MiniFlexII (manufactured by Rigaku Corporation) · Measurement range (2θ): 5 to 90° · Sampling width: 0.02° · Scan speed: 2.0° / min · X-ray: CuKα ray · Voltage: 30 kV · Current: 15 mA · Divergence slit: 1.25° · Scattering slit: 1.25° · Receiving slit: 0.3 mm

[0078] =X-ray Diffraction Analysis Conditions= · Use the data analysis software PDXL2 manufactured by Rigaku Corporation. · Smooth the peak with b-spline to clarify the peak top.

[0079] Furthermore, when the thickness of the metal-carbon composite film formed on the carbon substrate produced by the method for manufacturing the coating structure of the present invention is 300 nm or less, it is preferable in that cracks in the film and peeling of the film itself are less likely to occur. The thickness of the metal-carbon composite film may be 100 nm or less. This is because when cracks occur in the metal-carbon composite film, the carbon substrate oxidizes and is likely to be released as carbon dioxide, and the carbon in the carbon substrate is likely to decrease. On the other hand, when the thickness of the metal-carbon composite film is 1 nm or more, it is preferable in that the carbon substrate can be sufficiently protected. The thickness of the metal-carbon composite film may be 10 nm or more.

[0080] Moreover, the coating structure of the present invention is a coating structure in which a metal-carbon composite film is formed on a carbon substrate, and the metal-carbon composite film is formed by heating the carbon substrate coated or impregnated with a metal compound-containing substance. The coating structure of the present invention can improve heat resistance and reactivity and extend the life of the carbon substrate by having a metal-carbon composite film formed on the carbon substrate regardless of the size and shape of the carbon substrate. Also, the coating structure of the present invention has a metal-carbon composite film with a uniform thickness on the carbon substrate regardless of the size and shape of the carbon substrate.

[0081] Furthermore, when the thickness of the metal-carbon composite film formed on the carbon substrate of the present invention is 300 nm or less, it is preferable in that cracks in the film and peeling of the film itself are less likely to occur.

The metal compound inclusion for the metal-carbon composite coating of the present invention is applied to or immersed in a carbon substrate, and by heating the carbon substrate, the metal element in the metal compound inclusion reacts (carbonization reaction) with the carbon present on the coated surface of the carbon substrate to which the metal compound inclusion is applied, thereby forming a metal carbide and forming a metal-carbon composite coating.

Further, when the metal compound inclusion is a hydroxy acid complex metal compound, similarly, the metal element and carbon contained in the hydroxy acid complex metal compound react to form a metal carbide.

[0086] Furthermore, when the metal compound inclusion for the metal-carbon composite coating of the present invention contains a Ta compound, it is preferable in that it reacts with the carbon contained on the carbon substrate and the carbonization reaction easily proceeds.

[0088] In addition, when the metal compound inclusion for the metal-carbon composite coating of the present invention contains a resin, it is preferable in that the resin is uniformly compatible with the metal compound and functions to adhere to the carbon substrate, thereby improving the film-forming property and adhesion to the carbon substrate.

[0090] Further, when the metal compound inclusion for the metal-carbon composite film of the present invention is a solution, it can be easily applied onto the carbon substrate, which is preferable. Furthermore, when the metal compound inclusion for the metal-carbon composite film of the present invention contains water as a solvent, it is preferable from the viewpoint of reducing the environmental load.

[0091] Also, when the maximum value of the light transmittance in the wavelength range of 500 nm to 700 nm of the metal compound inclusion for the metal-carbon composite film of the present invention is 70%T or more, it is preferable in terms of high dispersibility and excellent uniformity of the components in the liquid.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0098] Hereinafter, the coating structure of the embodiment according to the present invention will be further described with the following examples. However, the following examples do not limit the present invention.

[0099] (Example 1) A peroxotantalum citrate solution was applied to the entire surface of a carbon base material (longitudinal dimension × transverse dimension × thickness dimension: 50 mm × 50 mm × 3 mm) using a brush (the coating amount was 0.0075 g). Next, the carbon base material coated with the peroxotantalum citrate solution was placed in an electric furnace and dried for 10 minutes in an electric furnace heated to 110°C. Then, it was heated in an electric furnace heated to 1500°C for 1 hour under an Ar atmosphere. And by cooling to room temperature, the coating structure according to Example 1 was obtained.

[0100] The peroxotantalum citrate solution used in Example 1 was obtained as follows.

[0101] 200 g of tantalum hydroxide and 92 g of 25% by mass aqueous ammonia were stirred and mixed for 10 minutes to obtain a first mixed solution. Then, 220 g of 35% by mass hydrogen peroxide solution was further added to the first mixed solution, and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes to obtain a second mixed solution. Then, 79 g of citric acid was added to the second mixed solution, and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes to obtain the tantalum peroxocitrate solution used in Example 1. Here, the tantalum concentration of the tantalum peroxocitrate solution used in Example 1 was 18% in terms of Ta2O5 and 14.3% in terms of Ta.

[0102] The tantalum peroxocitrate solution used in Example 1 was a clear solution without precipitation immediately after its production, and was also a clear solution without precipitation 7 days after production. Also, the Ta2O5 - equivalent concentration of the tantalum peroxocitrate solution used in Example 1 7 days after production was 175 g / L. Furthermore, the average particle diameter of the tantalum peroxocitrate solution used in Example 1 7 days after production by the dynamic light scattering method was 625.2 nm.

[0103] On the other hand, as the carbon base material used in Example 1, an extruded carbon base material (manufactured by Tokyo Carbon Industry Co., Ltd., Furafite flat extruded material) was used. Note that it is not limited to extrusion molding.

[0104] (Example 2) The tantalum peroxocitrate solution was applied to the entire surface of a carbon base material (longitudinal dimension × transverse dimension × thickness dimension: 50 mm × 50 mm × 3 mm) using a brush. Next, the carbon base material coated with the tantalum peroxocitrate solution was placed in an electric furnace and dried in an electric furnace heated to 110°C for 10 minutes. The tantalum peroxocitrate solution was again applied to the entire surface of the dried carbon base material using a brush, and then the process of drying in an electric furnace heated to 110°C for 10 minutes was repeated 2 more times. That is, the process of applying the tantalum peroxocitrate solution to the carbon base material and drying was repeated 3 times in total (the total coating amount for all 3 times was 0.0225 g). Then, it was heated in an electric furnace heated to 1500°C for 1 hour under an Ar atmosphere. And by cooling to room temperature, a film structure according to Example 2 was obtained.

[0105] Since the tantalum peroxocitrate solution used in Example 2 is the same as the tantalum peroxocitrate solution used in Example 1, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. Further, since the carbon substrate used in Example 2 is the same as the carbon substrate used in Example 1, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0106] (Example 3) An aqueous solution of tantalum acid (including resin) was applied to the entire surface of a carbon substrate (longitudinal dimension × transverse dimension × thickness dimension: 50 mm × 50 mm × 3 mm) using a brush (the coating amount was 0.0075 g). Next, the carbon substrate coated with the aqueous solution of tantalum acid (including resin) was placed in an electric furnace and dried for 10 minutes in an electric furnace heated to 110°C. Then, it was heated for 1 hour in an electric furnace heated to 1500°C under an Ar atmosphere. And by cooling to room temperature, a film structure according to Example 3 was obtained.

[0107] The aqueous solution of tantalum acid (including resin) used in Example 3 was obtained as follows.

[0108] 137.9 g of tantalum hydroxide (Ta2O5 concentration 66 mass%) manufactured by Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd. was dissolved in 120 g of a 55 mass% hydrofluoric acid aqueous solution, and 849 mL of ion-exchanged water was added to obtain an aqueous solution of tantalum fluoride (Ta2O5 concentration 8.2 mass%).

[0109] To 1,000 g of this aqueous solution of tantalum fluoride, 27.5 g of hydrogen peroxide solution (H2O2 concentration 35 mass%) was added (H2O2 / Ta molar ratio = 0.76), and it was stirred for 5 minutes to obtain an aqueous solution of a tantalum compound.

[0110] 1,000 g of this aqueous solution of the tantalum compound was added to 6.82 L of aqueous ammonia (NH3 concentration 25 mass%) in less than 10 minutes (NH3 / Ta molar ratio = 245, NH3 / HF molar ratio = 30.7) to obtain a reaction solution (pH 11). This reaction solution was a slurry of a tantalum acid compound hydrate, in other words, a slurry of a tantalum-containing precipitate.

[0111] Next, this reaction solution was decanted using a centrifuge and washed until the amount of free fluoride ions became 100 mg / L or less to obtain a tantalum-containing precipitate from which the fluoride ions were removed. At this time, aqueous ammonia was used as the washing solution.

[0112] Furthermore, the tantalum-containing precipitate from which the fluoride ions were removed was diluted with pure water to obtain a tantalum-containing precipitate slurry. A part of this tantalum-containing precipitate slurry was dried at 110 °C for 24 hours and then calcined at 1000 °C for 4 hours to produce Ta2O5, and the Ta2O5 concentration contained in the tantalum-containing precipitate slurry was calculated from its weight.

[0113] Thereafter, the tantalum-containing precipitate slurry diluted with pure water, 5% by mass of dimethylamine as an organic nitrogen compound, and pure water were mixed so that the tantalum concentration of the final mixture was 5% by mass in terms of Ta2O5 and the weight ratio of Ta2O5 / organic nitrogen compound was 1.0, thereby obtaining an aqueous tantalum acid solution. The pH of the aqueous tantalum acid solution was 12.0.

[0114] Then, a polyolefin-based polymer copolymer neutralization salt (Zexcen A manufactured by Sumitomo Seika Chemicals Co., Ltd.) was added to the obtained aqueous tantalum acid solution and stirred at 25 °C for 30 minutes to obtain the aqueous tantalum acid solution (containing resin) used in Example 3. Here, the tantalum concentration of the aqueous tantalum acid solution (containing resin) used in Example 3 was 5% in terms of Ta2O5 and 4.1% in terms of Ta. The content of the resin component contained in the aqueous tantalum acid solution (containing resin) used in Example 3 was 0.025% by mass when the aqueous tantalum acid solution was 100% by mass.

[0115] Here, the added polyolefin-based polymer copolymer neutralization salt was weighed so that when the total polyolefin-based polymer copolymer neutralization salt was 100% by mass, the resin component was 25% by mass, the aqueous ammonia was less than 1% by mass, and the balance was pure water.

[0116] On the other hand, since the carbon substrate used in Example 3 is the same as the carbon substrate used in Example 1, detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0117] (Example 4) An aqueous tantalum acid solution (including resin) was applied to the entire surface of a carbon substrate (longitudinal dimension × transverse dimension × thickness dimension: 50 mm × 50 mm × 3 mm) using a brush. Next, the carbon substrate coated with the aqueous tantalum acid solution (including resin) was placed in an electric furnace, and dried for 10 minutes in an electric furnace heated to 110°C. The aqueous tantalum acid solution (including resin) was again applied to the entire surface of the dried carbon substrate using a brush, and then the process of drying for 10 minutes in an electric furnace heated to 110°C was repeated two more times. That is, the process of applying and drying the aqueous tantalum acid solution (including resin) to the carbon substrate was repeated three times in total (the total coating amount for all three times was 0.0225 g). Thereafter, it was heated in an electric furnace heated to 1500°C for 1 hour under an Ar atmosphere. Then, by cooling to room temperature, a film structure according to Example 4 was obtained.

[0118] In addition, since the aqueous tantalum acid solution (including resin) used in Example 4 is the same as the aqueous tantalum acid solution (including resin) used in Example 3, detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0119] On the other hand, since the carbon substrate used in Example 4 is the same as the carbon substrate used in Example 1, detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0120] (Example 5) An aqueous tantalum acid compound solution was applied to the entire surface of a carbon substrate (longitudinal dimension × transverse dimension × thickness dimension: 50 mm × 50 mm × 3 mm) using a brush (the coating amount was 0.0075 g). Next, the carbon substrate coated with the aqueous tantalum acid compound solution was placed in an electric furnace, and dried for 10 minutes in an electric furnace heated to 110°C. Thereafter, it was heated in an electric furnace heated to 1500°C for 1 hour under an Ar atmosphere. Then, by cooling to room temperature, a film structure according to Example 5 was obtained.

[0121] The aqueous tantalum acid compound solution used in Example 5 was obtained as follows.

[0122] 100 g of tantalum hydroxide manufactured by Mitsui Mining Co., Ltd. (Ta2O5 concentration: 99.9 mass%) was dissolved in 100 g of a 55 mass% hydrofluoric acid aqueous solution, and 100 mL of ion-exchanged water was added to obtain an aqueous tantalum fluoride solution (Ta2O5 concentration: 33.3 mass%).

[0123] 1000 mL of aqueous ammonia (NH3 concentration: 25 mass%) was added to 100 g of this aqueous tantalum fluoride solution to obtain a fluorine-containing tantalum hydrate cake.

[0124] Next, this fluorine-containing tantalum hydrate cake was decanted using a centrifuge with dilute aqueous ammonia and washed until the amount of free fluoride ions became 100 mg / L or less to obtain a tantalum-containing precipitate from which the fluoride ions had been removed. At this time, aqueous ammonia was used as the washing liquid.

[0125] Here, for the tantalum concentration of the obtained tantalum-containing precipitate, a part of the tantalum-containing precipitate was collected, dried at 110°C for 24 hours, and then calcined at 1000°C for 4 hours to produce Ta2O5. The weight of the thus-produced Ta2O5 was measured, and the Ta2O5 (tantalum oxide, oxide conversion) concentration of the tantalum-containing precipitate calculated from that weight was 50 mass%. Also, when the Ta (tantalum, metal conversion) concentration of the tantalum-containing precipitate was calculated, it was 40.9 mass%.

[0126] Then, 50 g of triethylamine at 10% by mass and 317 g of pure water were added to the obtained tantalum-containing precipitate, and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes to obtain a tantalum-containing mixed solution. Thereafter, 83 g of 35% by mass hydrogen peroxide was added to the tantalum-containing mixed solution so that the final tantalum concentration was 5% by mass in terms of oxide (Ta2O5 equivalent) and 4.1% by mass in terms of metal (Ta equivalent), and the final hydrogen peroxide concentration was 6.8% by mass, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes to obtain the tantalum acid compound-containing solution used in Example 5. Here, the tantalum concentration of the tantalum acid compound-containing solution used in Example 5 was 5% in terms of Ta2O5 and 4.1% in terms of Ta. No precipitate or sediment was observed in the tantalum acid compound-containing solution used in Example 5. The pH of the tantalum acid compound-containing solution used in Example 5 was 11.0.

[0127] On the other hand, since the carbon substrate used in Example 5 was the same as the carbon substrate used in Example 1, detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0128] (Example 6) The tantalum acid compound-containing solution (including resin) was applied to the entire surface of a carbon substrate (longitudinal dimension × transverse dimension × thickness dimension: 50 mm × 50 mm × 3 mm) using a brush (the application amount was 0.0075 g). Next, the carbon substrate coated with the tantalum acid compound-containing solution (including resin) was placed in an electric furnace and dried for 10 minutes in an electric furnace heated to 110°C. Thereafter, it was heated in an electric furnace heated to 1500°C for 1 hour under an Ar atmosphere. Then, by cooling to room temperature, a film structure according to Example 6 was obtained.

[0129] The tantalum acid compound-containing liquid (including resin) used in Example 6 was obtained by adding a polyolefin-based polymer copolymer neutralized salt (Zexen A manufactured by Sumitomo Seika Chemicals Co., Ltd.) to the tantalum acid compound-containing liquid used in Example 5 and stirring at 25°C for 30 minutes. Here, the tantalum concentration of the tantalum acid compound-containing liquid (including resin) used in Example 6 was 5% in terms of Ta2O5 and 4.1% in terms of Ta. The content of the resin component contained in the tantalum acid compound-containing liquid (including resin) used in Example 6 was 0.025% by mass when the tantalum acid compound-containing liquid (including resin) was taken as 100% by mass.

[0130] Since the polyolefin-based polymer copolymer neutralized salt added in Example 6 is the same as the polyolefin-based polymer copolymer neutralized salt used in Example 3, detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0131] On the other hand, since the carbon substrate used in Example 6 is the same as the carbon substrate used in Example 1, detailed description thereof is omitted.

Otherwise, the same manufacturing method as in Example 1 was carried out to obtain a coating structure according to Example 9. The coating amount of the tantalum peroxocitrate solution used in Example 9 was 0.174 g.

This reaction solution was a slurry of a niobic acid compound hydrate, in other words, a slurry of a niobium-containing precipitate.

[0166] Next, this reaction solution was decanted using a centrifuge and washed until the amount of free fluoride ions became 100 mg / L or less to obtain a niobium-containing precipitate from which the fluoride ions were removed. At this time, aqueous ammonia was used as the washing solution.

[0167] Furthermore, the niobium-containing precipitate from which the fluoride ions were removed was diluted with pure water to obtain a slurry. A part of this niobium-containing precipitate slurry was dried at 110 °C for 24 hours and then calcined at 1000 °C for 4 hours to produce Nb2O5, and the Nb2O5 concentration contained in the niobium-containing precipitate slurry was calculated from its weight.

[0171] 100 g of this titanyl sulfate aqueous solution was added to 100 g of 50% by mass dimethylamine (amine amount of 6.4 moles with respect to 1 mole of sulfuric acid in the titanyl sulfate aqueous solution) over a time of less than 1 minute. Then, it was stirred for 15 minutes to obtain a neutralization reaction solution (pH 12). This neutralization reaction solution was a slurry of titanium-containing substances, in other words, a slurry of titanium-containing precipitate.

[0172] Next, this neutralization reaction solution was decanted using a centrifuge and washed until the sulfuric acid in the supernatant became 100 mg / L or less to obtain a titanium-containing precipitate from which sulfuric acid was removed.

The pH of the aqueous titanic acid solution used in Example 17 was 13.7.

[0175] The aqueous zirconic acid solution used in Example 17 was obtained as follows.

[0177] Next, the entire amount of the aqueous zirconium sulfate solution was added to 100 g (1.47 mol) of aqueous ammonia (NH₃ concentration: 25% by mass) in less than 1 minute (NH₃ / ZrO₂ molar ratio = 147, NH₃ / SO₄ 2- molar ratio = 43) to obtain a reaction solution by a so-called reverse neutralization reaction. This reaction solution was a slurry of zirconium acid compound hydrate, in other words, a slurry of zirconium-containing precipitate.

[0178] This reaction solution was decanted using a centrifuge and washed until the conductivity became 500 μS / cm or less to obtain a sulfur content-removed zirconium-containing precipitate. At this time, aqueous ammonia was used as the washing solution.

[0179] Furthermore, by diluting the zirconium-containing precipitate with sulfur removed with pure water, a zirconium-containing precipitate slurry with sulfur removed was obtained. A part of the zirconium-containing precipitate slurry with sulfur removed was dried at 110 °C for 24 hours and then calcined at 1,000 °C for 4 hours to produce ZrO2, and the ZrO2 concentration contained in the zirconium-containing precipitate slurry with sulfur removed was calculated from its weight.

[0180] Then, the zirconium-containing precipitate slurry with sulfur removed diluted with pure water was mixed with 13.7 g (0.023 mol) of 15% tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) and 28.5 g of ion-exchanged water so that the zirconium concentration of the final mixture was 10% by mass in terms of ZrO2 and the tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) concentration was 7.2% by mass (TMAH / ZrO2 molar ratio = 2.2). While stirring this mixture, it was held for 1 hour while maintaining the liquid temperature at room temperature (25 °C) to obtain the zirconium acid aqueous solution used in Example 11. Here, the zirconium concentration of the zirconium acid aqueous solution used in Example 17 was 8% in terms of ZrO2 and 5.9% in terms of Zr. The pH of the zirconium acid aqueous solution used in Example 17 was 13.7.

To 60 g of this hydrofluoric acid solution of the hafnium compound, an aqueous solution of hafnium complex (H2O2 / Hf molar ratio = 1.0) obtained by adding 2.2 g of 35% by mass hydrogen peroxide solution was stirred for 5 minutes and then gradually added to 377.2 g of 25% by mass aqueous ammonia (NH3 / Hf molar ratio = 250). Then, it was stirred for 5 minutes to obtain a neutralization reaction solution containing hafnium hydroxide as a precipitate.

[0183] Next, this neutralization reaction solution was decanted using a centrifuge to recover the precipitate (containing hafnium hydroxide). The recovered precipitate was mixed with 200 g of 25% by mass aqueous ammonia and slurried, and then decanted again to recover the precipitate. This decantation and the step of recovering the precipitate (containing hafnium hydroxide) were repeated three times.

[0184] Then, a mixed solution was obtained by adding 31.1 g of 25% by mass TMAH to the recovered precipitate (containing hafnium hydroxide). Pure water was added until the total weight of the mixed solution reached 77.7 g so that the final hafnium concentration was 6% by mass in terms of HfO2, and the mixed solution was stirred for 6 hours to obtain the hafnium acid aqueous solution used in Example 17. The pH of the hafnium acid aqueous solution used in Example 17 was 14.8.

On the other hand, the attenuation rates in Heat Resistance Test 2 of the carbon base material according to Comparative Example 1 and the coating structure according to Comparative Example 2 were 2.7% and 2.7%, respectively.

[0228] For the coating structures according to Examples 18 and 19, the attenuation rate in Heat Resistance Test 3 decreased slightly compared to the attenuation rate in Heat Resistance Test 3 of the carbon base material according to Comparative Example 7.

[0229] From the results of the above-described Heat Resistance Tests 1 to 3, the heat resistance of the carbon base material could be improved by the metal-carbon composite coating formed on the carbon base material, regardless of the type of metal element contained in the metal-carbon composite coating, and the size and type of the carbon base material.
