Abstract

Chemical vapor deposition has been utilized to produce ternary, multiphase coatings of various compositions of silicon carbide (SiC) with Ti, Cr, and Mo. Thermodynamic calculations have been performed for a variety of experimental conditions in each system. Scanning, transmission and analytical electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction techniques have been used to characterize the microstructures and to determine compositions.
