Development of works on creating coatings to protect carbon materials at high temperatures (a review of the works performed at Grebenshchikov Institute of Silicate Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences)

Abstract

The review is based on the works by employees of the Grebenshchikov Institute of Silicate Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). Approaches to the formation of glass-ceramic coatings on graphite have been considered from preliminarily molten glass and filler, from the mixture of initial components not containing glass during synthesis, and from silicon- and boron-containing compounds yielding a glass-forming melt upon thermal treatment in air. These works served as the basis for creating coatings of a new type.
