Abstract
TiB2 coatings were deposited by hydrogen reduction of TiCl4 and BCl3. The objective was to correlate process variables with thermodynamic equilibrium calculations, deposition kinetics, coating structure and properties. Particular emphasis was given to obtaining deposits having appropriate oxidation resistance to protect C/SiC composites. Films, obtained at moderate temperature (800°C), acted as self-healing external barriers below the microcracking temperature of the outer SiC coating used as primary oxygen protection.
