  • OXIDATION PROTECTIVE COATING FOR DIBORIDE BASED ULTRA-HIGH TEMPERATURE CERAMICS, BASED ON ELEMENTAL ALUMINUM AND ALUMINA MIXTURES
    Publication number: 20250388518
    Abstract: The present application refers to a protective coating for diboride based Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics and a method for preparing said coating. The coating is applied as alumina mixture, i.e. a mixture of elemental aluminum and aluminum oxide, and may be applied as a slurry directly on the diboride based ceramic materials, preferably zirconium diboride, hafnium diboride or mixtures thereof, for ultra-high temperature applications.
