Abstract High‐temperature, high‐velocity water vapor (steam‐jet) exposures were conducted on Y 2 O 3 , Y 2 SiO 5 , Y 2 Si 2 O 7 , and SiO 2 for 60 hours at 1400°C. Volatility of Y 2 O 3 was not observed. Phase‐pure Y 2 SiO 5 exhibited SiO 2 loss forming Y 2 O 3 and porosity. A mixed porous and dense Y 2 SiO 5 layer formed on the surface of Y 2 Si 2 O 7 due to SiO 2 depletion. The mechanisms and kinetics of the reaction between SiO 2 and H 2 O(g) to form Si(OH) 4 (g) from Y 2 SiO 5 , Y 2 Si 2 O 7 , and SiO 2 are discussed.
