Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Nb-coated C f /SiC composites are promising lightweight structural materials with wide applications in the aerospace field. The strength of interfacial bonding between Nb coating and C f /SiC composite has significant influence on the material performance. In this study, we carefully investigated the interfacial structure between Nb coating and C f /SiC composite by electron microscopy. The Nb coating on C f /SiC composites was prepared by chemical vapor deposition. Cross-section imaging by SEM and TEM showed that layered structures were formed, the order is reaction zone, fine equiaxed grained Nb zone and coarse columnar grained Nb zone from the interface to the top of Nb. A sandwich-like interfacial reaction zone (an intermittent Nb 5 Si 3 layer between two NbC layers, denoted as NbC | γ-Nb 5 Si 3 | NbC) can be formed between Nb coating and C f /SiC composite. Additionally, nanoscale NbC particles were observed near the interface of the C f /SiC composite, while needle-shaped γ-Nb 2 C in the Nb coating, which is due to the interdiffusion of Nb and C elements. And an orientation relationship was identified between γ-Nb 2 C and Nb matrix. More importantly, hydrogen was confirmed to be existed in the NbC phase and the micro-cracks at the interface by ToF-SIMS analysis, which have a negative effect on the interfacial bonding properties. The room-temperature shear strength of the joint is 37.75 MPa. The formation mechanisms of the interfacial structures in Nb-coated C f /SiC composite were discussed based on thermodynamics and kinetics.
