The success of a ceramic composite for ultrahigh temperatures (i.e., >1873K) in an oxidizing atmosphere resides in the protective characteristics of a scale to limit oxygen ingress or to control the oxygen reaction into the substrate. With temperature changes from room temperature to ultrahigh temperatures, the mechanics of the scale and its reactivity becomes critical for ceramic composites to...
