Abstract
The paper describes alternative high- temperature coatings for carbon fiber reinforced carbon (CFC) and carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide (C/SiC) comparing CVD of hahium carbide and hafnium nitride. Hafnium carbide and hahium nitride layers were obtained in a thermally- stimulated CVD reactor by reaction of hafnium tetrachloride, methan and addition of hydrogen. Thermodymnic modeling of the reactions HfCl4 + H2 + CH4 → HfCl4-x, C, HCl ; HfCl4 + H2 + N2 → HfN, HfCl4-x, HCl. shows the possibility of depositing a nearly carbon- free hafnium carbide layer, but HfM should be deposited at lower ternperatures without any solid byproduct. These theoretical calculations could be proved experimentally in a thermally activated CVD process.
