A standard material to protect SiC/SiC composites is atmospherically plasma sprayed (APS) Yb2Si2O7. For this material, it is difficult to obtain at reasonable substrate temperatures both low porosity and high crystallinity levels during APS. In this paper results of coatings prepared by a so-called high velocity APS process and also more conventional processes are presented. All coatings have been prepared by a single layer deposition method which avoids inter passage porosity bands. Furthermore, the samples were heat-treated in air at 1300 °C for 100 h and the influence of the topcoat density on the growth of the silica scale on the used silicon bond coat was studied.
