The amorphous ethylate tantalum jellied as the precursor is prepared and spread densely on the surface of the C/C composite material so as to form a multilayer film. In a graphitization furnace the multilayer film is transformed into TaC coating at various temperatures. Ethylate tantalum film is characterized by FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared) spectra, XRD (X-ray diffraction) and SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and TaC coating is characterized by XRD and SEM. At 1200℃ the coating contained TaC and Ta2O5, and at above 1400℃ only TaC is formed. The coating formed at 1600℃ is a continuous stratum structure, and that formed at 1600℃ is a porous net structure. Analysis on thermodynamics and formation mechanism of TaC indicates that, after ethylate tantalum is decomposed, Ta2O5 is first produced and then transformed into Ta2C, and newly formed Ta2C is transformed into TaC by the sufficient C at last.展开更多
