Current generation carbon–carbon (C–C) and carbon–silicon carbide (C–SiC) materials are limited to service temperatures below 1800 °C and materials are sought that can withstand higher temperatures and ablative conditions for aerospace applications. One potential materials solution is carbon fibre-based composites with matrices composed of one or more ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs); the latter are intended to protect the carbon fibres at high temperatures whilst the former provides increased toughness and thermal shock resistance to the system as a whole. Carbon fibre–UHTC powder composites have been prepared via a slurry impregnation and pyrolysis route. Five different UHTC compositions have been used for impregnation, viz. ZrB2, ZrB2–20 vol% SiC, ZrB2–20 vol% SiC–10 vol% LaB6, HfB2 and HfC. Their high-temperature oxidation resistance has been studied using a purpose built oxyacetylene torch test facility at temperatures above 2500 °C and the results are compared with that of a C–C benchmark composite.
