For an industrial Si–SiC coated C/C material (reference material) the temperature dependence of the linear rate of mass loss is interpreted in the temperature range 773<T<1973K. The Arrhenius plot of the thermogravimetrically determined oxidation rate shows four typical regimes. Only in the temperature range 1323<T<1823K is the oxidation rate close to or lower than the limit for long-term application. Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) allows the ablation of nonconductive and high melting targets and the preparation of films with complex composition. High energy impact CO2laser pulses (j=3·107W cm−2) lead to melting and evaporation of the target material in a single step. Therefore the flux of the metal components is stoichiometric. Deposited green layers did not show IR peaks typical for mullite. After a short oxidation treatment (15min at 1673K) the formation of mullite in the coating was completed as was confirmed by IR spectroscopy and XRD investigations. Thin PLD-mullite layers (900nm) did not markedly improve the oxidation resistance of the reference material in the high temperature range 1473<T<1973K. However, a preoxidation treatment of the substrate material and mullite coatings with a thickness of 2·5μm improved the oxidation behaviour significantly. Because of SiO2formation at the mullite–SiC interface all samples exhibited a mass increase on oxidation. The inward diffusion of oxygen across the outer mullite-containing layer controlled the kinetics of the reaction as was deduced from18O diffusivity measurements in PLD mullite layers. The calculated oxidation rates resulting from the diffusion parameters in SiO2and mullite are close to the thermogravimetric data. For oxidation durations of three days only amorphous SiO2is formed at the mullite–SiC interface.
