The invention discloses a hard carbon
fiber coating resistant to high-temperature oxidation and a preparation method thereof.The preparation method comprises the steps that a step-by-step technology of low-temperature vapor deposition of an inner layer and high-energy
sputtering of an outer layer is adopted, and a heterogeneous
composite structure of a
silicon nitride compact layer and a
tantalum silicide self-repairing layer is constructed on the surface of carbon
fiber; the inner layer blocks
oxygen permeation by using
low oxygen diffusion coefficient and high-temperature stability of Si3N4, the outer layer realizes dynamic protection through a
composite oxide film formed by high-temperature oxidation of TaSi2, and the inner layer and the outer layer form gradient transition through mutual
diffusion of interface elements, so that oxidation-protection-self-repairing
closed loop is realized, and wide-temperature-range protection is realized; the blank that the protection performance of the existing
coating is suddenly reduced at the temperature of over 1600 DEG C is filled According to the method, the Si3N4 inner layer is firstly deposited, and the TaSi2 outer layer is subjected to high-energy
sputtering according to the progressive design of substrate protection, strengthened combination, gradient transition and functional
closed loop in sequence, so that the carbon
fiber coating with the advantages of reserved
fiber strength, stable interface, high-temperature
oxidation resistance,
hardness,
wear resistance and collaborative optimization of various properties is obtained.
