The glaze is prepared from the following raw materials in percentage by weight: Fire Clay 10%-25%, Feldspar 30%-40%, Sand 30%-40%, Calcium Silicate 8%-12%, Graphane (i.e., disordered crystalline and hydrogenated double bounded Carbon) 5%-15% or C-doped Boron Nitride (CBN) 5%-15%, various metal oxides as pigments and water. This glaze is applied on the standard glazing operation in the ceramic insulator manufacturing process and is fired in a controlled inert-gas atmosphere.

Methods, materials systems, and devices for inhibiting the infiltration and penetration of molten salts into solid materials, including porous materials at temperatures above the solidus temperature of the molten salt. The methods, materials systems, and devices utilize a non-wetted solid that is introduced into pores having entrances at an exterior surface of a porous solid material adapted to contact the molten salt.

A method is provided in which a resin coating is applied to a surface of a preform. The resin coating includes a carbonaceous resin and a particulate. The preform is added to a tooling. The preform, which is positioned in the tooling, is cured. The tooling is removed. The resin coating on the surface of the preform is pyrolyzed to form a resin carbon-char layer on the surface of the preform. The preform and the resin carbon-char layer are infiltrated with silicon to form a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) component including a layer of silicon carbide. During the infiltration, the silicon reacts with carbon in the resin carbon-char layer to form the layer of silicon carbide on the preform.
