Oxidation and oxidation protection

  • Chapter
Carbon-Carbon Composites

Abstract

Over the past decade the development of structural carbon-carbon materials has received a great deal of attention. Potential uses have been cited in future generation military aircraft, missile systems and a number of proposed hypersonic aerospace vehicles. All of the possible applications take advantage of the excellent high-temperature properties of carbon and the benefits of fibre reinforcement, most especially high strength and strength retention at temperatures in excess of 2000 °C. It is important to note that all such applications involve operation for extended periods of time in oxidizing environments. Since the composites have already demonstrated the mechanical requirements, it is generally concluded that the development of reliable oxidation protection is crucial to carbon-carbon attaining its full potential. The method accepted as the most feasible way to protect carbon-carbon composites involves coating of the outer surfaces of the material with appropriate refractory materials in order to prevent oxygen attacking the substrate. Additionally, protective compounds, known as inhibitors, may be placed within the composite.
