SILICON CARBIDE COATED ARTICLE WITH CERAMIC TOPCOAT

Abstract

Silicon carbide-coated carbonaceous substrates are overcoated with one or more ceramic layers derived from an organoborosilazane polymer solution containing 0-60% by weight of dispersed ceramic or preceramic powdered solids to seal the silicon carbide coating and provide better resistance to oxidative deterioration at elevated temperatures; the organoborosilazane polymer being the product obtained by reacting about 0.25-20 parts by weight of a trialkoxy-, triaryloxy-, or tri(arylalkoxy)boroxine with one part by weight of a polysilazane in an organic solvent. The thus-coated substrates are optionally overcoated with a buffer layer and then with one or more ceramic layers derived from polysilazane solutions or dispersions.
