Abstract
The ablation behaviors of an as-annealed aluminized Ir (IrAl/Ir) coating sample and two aluminized Ir (IrAl 2.7(3) /IrAl/Ir) coating samples were investigated in a plasma wind tunnel for up to 2000s. The IrAl/Ir and IrAl 2.7(3) /IrAl/Ir coating samples showed quite different thermal responses, with ablation resistance limits of ~3.35 MW/m2 and ~3.75 MW/m2 , respectively, due to their different oxidation mechanisms. The failure mechanisms of both Ir–Al intermetallic coating samples were closely related to the melting of Al2 O3 coating due to over-temperature. The results indicated that the Ir–Al is a promising non-ablative thermal protection coating material used in non-equilibrium oxidizing environment up to 2000 °C.
