Abstract Silicon carbide was successfully deposited onto a heated HK40 substrate. An array of characterization techniques (scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and scratch tests) demonstrated that the processing conditions were suitable for good coverage and promising adhesion behavior.
