The study describes the properties of the protective coating deposited on the surface of the reaction-sintered silicon carbide and molybdenum disilicide. The technology of increasing the protective ability of the coating of products deposited on the surface on the basis of reactive sintered carbide of silicon and molybdenum disilicide, which operate in an oxidizing environment at high temperature and a sharp change of thermal regime, is investigated. The obtained results showed that the presence of a protective slip layer significantly increases the stability of the deposited silicoboride coating, thus blocking the interaction of silicon hexaboride with the environment, slowing down almost all diffusion processes at the transition of the interaction of diffusion. It has been established that the simultaneous use of both diffusion and slurry coatings enables maximum protection of reaction-sintered ceramic materials based on silicon carbide and molybdenum disilicide against high-temperature gas corrosion. The developed coating ensures maximum resistance to repeated changes in temperature conditions, while cyclic changes destroy products of silicon carbide and molybdenum disilicide without applied protective coating. The proposed protective coating can be recommended for the protection of reaction-sintered ceramic materials operated in high temperatures.
