A Mo–Si–B based coating was applied to niobium that produced a coating structure composed of molybdenum and niobium silicides. Oxidation tests at 1000 °C and 1200 °C showed that the Mo–Si–B coating provided enhanced oxidation protection of niobium due to the formation of a protective aluminosilica layer. The coating performance was identified to be limited by the formation of NbB 2 during the pack cementation process. A revised coating treatment was implemented using TiB 2 as the boron source to reduce the NbB 2 formation. The Mo–Si–B coating utilizing plasma spray deposition of Mo and a revised pack cementation exhibited a mass change of 0.44 mg cm −2 after TGA testing at 1300 °C for 24 h.
