Abstract

High-emissivity coatings constitute an essential component of reusable thermal protection systems, determining the success or failure of hypersonic spacecraft. Reaction-cured glass coating is the basis for all current high-emissivity coatings, and the study of its sintering behavior is of great scientific significance for the development and performance enhancement of the coating. Microstructures and phase compositions of the samples before and after the sintering process were determined using SEM, XRD, and EDS. The sintering temperature, inserting temperature, and heating rate were systematically investigated. The results show that the effects of the sintering temperature, inserting temperature, and heating rate on the coating occur in decreasing order. The optimum condition for coating sintering in this study is an insertion temperature of 1100 °C, a heating rate of 10 °C/min, and a sintering temperature of 1200 °C, and a crack-free and containing SiB4 borosilicate glass coating was successfully prepared.
