Abstract

Ablation resistance of a multi-component carbide (Hf0.2Ti0.2Zr0.2Ta0.2Nb0.2)C (HTZTNC) was investigated using an oxyacetylene flame apparatus. When the surface temperature of the HTZTNC was below 1800 °C, (Nb, Ta)2O5, (Hf, Zr)TiO4, and (Hf, Zr)O2 were found to be the main oxidation products, while at higher temperature, formation of (Hf, Zr, Ti, Ta, Nb)Ox was favored and its content gradually increased with the increase in ablation temperature. Based on the ablation results and thermodynamic simulation analysis, a possible ablation mechanism of HTZTNC was proposed. Active oxidation of TiC and outward diffusion of TiO were demonstrated to occur during the ablation process, which constitute the critical steps for the ablation of HTZTNC. These results can contribute to the design of ablation resistant ultra-high-temperature ceramics.
