POST COATING TREATMENT OF SILICON CARBIDE COATED CARBON-CARBON SUBSTRATES

Abstract

A post treatment for carbon-carbon substrates for the protection of carbon and graphite materials to which have been applied a silicon carbide primary coating from degradation at elevated temperatures. The treatment comprising coating the substrate with a first film of monoaluminum phosphate, water, particulate silicate carbide, silicon carbide felt, alumina, and boron; curing the first film, applying over the first film, a second film comprising water, sodium silicate, sodium borate, particulate silicon carbide and silicon carbide felt, and curing the second coating. Optionally a third film may be applied over the cured second film. The third film comprises sodium borate, water and sodium silicate which is cured after application.
