Abstract
A method of forming a B4C layer as a component of an oxidation protection system as component of oxidation protection system on a carbon-carbon composite material may include forming a liquid mixture comprising a boron-compound and a carbon-compound. The method may further include applying the liquid mixture on the carbon-carbon composite material. The boron compound may comprise boric acid (H3BO3). In various embodiments, the carbon-compound comprises phenolic resin. In various embodiments, the method further includes heating the carbon-carbon composite material after applying the liquid mixture on the carbon-carbon composite material to from a boron carbide (B4C) layer.
Claims7
A method of forming a B4C layer as a component of an oxidation protection system on a carbon-carbon composite material, the method comprising:
- forming a liquid mixture comprising a boron-compound and a phenolic resin, wherein forming the liquid mixture comprises forming a solution by mixing the boron-compound into the phenolic resin such that the boron-compound is a solute and the phenolic resin is a solvent and wherein the boron-compound comprising at least one of boric acid (H3BO3) and boria (B2O3);
- and
- applying the liquid mixture on the carbon-carbon composite material.
