| 摘要 |
An oxidation-resistant carbon composite is formed from a protective coating applied over the surface of the carbon composite. The coating, itself, is formed through the application of a metal silicide containing medium to a carbon composite and subsequently heated to convert a portion of the metal silicide into silicon carbide and a metal carbide. The invention exhibits improved oxidation resistance especially in high temperature applications in the presence of oxidizing gases. Of particular interest is the application of the present invention for high friction disc brake systems for vehicles including aircraft.
