Silicon carbide coatings and methods of fabricating and repairing the same

Abstract

A slurry for use to form or repair a silicon carbide coating is provided. In one aspect, the slurry includes solid particles and a carbonaceous resin. The solid particles include silicon carbide particles, silicon particles, and carbon particles. A method of fabricating a silicon carbide coating is also provided. In one aspect, the method includes applying the slurry, heating the slurry, and forming the silicon carbide coating from the solid particles and the carbonaceous resin. A method of repairing a silicon carbide coating is also provided. In one aspect, the method includes applying the slurry to a damaged region of the silicon carbide coating, heating the slurry, and repairing the silicon carbide coating with the solid particles and the carbonaceous resin in the damaged region.
