A. Wang et al., HIGH-TEMPERATURE BEHAVIOR OF LPCVD ZRB2 COATINGS SUBJECTED TO INTENSERADIATIVE FLUX, Surface & coatings technology, 73(1-2), 1995, pp. 60-65
ZrB2 coatings having different microstructures and produced by CVD on
graphite wafers were submitted to high radiative flux densities at the
focus of a solar concentrator. The chemical and morphological effects
are described. It is concluded that such coatings possess high resist
ance to thermal shock but must be protected from oxygen at temperature
s higher than 1100 degrees C.
