| Description | Pyrolytic boron nitride (PBN) was deposited on Nicalon NL 202 silicon carbide yarns at 1000 to 1200 C with the goal of improving the resistance of the Nicalon to deterioration in an aerodynamic environment at temperatures up to 1000 C. For continuous coating, the yarns were fed through the deposition chamber of a pilot plant sized CVD furnace at a rate of about 2 feet per minute. PBN coatings were obtained by reacting boron trichloride and ammonia gases inside the deposition chamber. Most of the PBN coatings were made at around 1080 C to minimize thermal degradation of the Nicalon. Pressures were typically below 0.1 Torr. The coated yarns were characterized by weight per unit length, tensile strength and modulus, scanning electron microscopy, and scanning Auger microscopy. The PBN coated Nicalon was woven into cloth, but was not entirely satisfactory as a high temperature sizing. Several 13 in. square pieces of Nicalon cloth were coated with PBN in a batch process in a factory sized deposition furnace. Samples of cloth made from the PBN coated Nicalon were sewn into thermal insulation panels, whose performance is being compared with that of panels made using uncoated Nicalon. |
