In this work, the corrosion behavior of Yb 4 Hf 3 O 12 ceramics under CFAS coupled with water vapor environment at 1400 °C for 2–50 h was investigated. Results show that the CFAS were rapidly dissolved into ceramics under test environment, and then the Yb-Ca-Si apatite and Hf-rich fluorite phases were re-precipitated. Simultaneously, the water vapor corrosion mainly induced grain surface corrosion, resulting in the formation of corrosion pits and ridge-like structures. Moreover, the pores and microcracks caused by water vapor corrosion offer additional penetration path for CFAS melt.

The interaction and infiltration behavior between typical calcium–ferrum–alumina–silicate (CFAS) and Yb 4 Hf 3 O 12 ceramics at 1300, 1400, and 1500°C for different duration times were investigated. At 1300°C, the CFAS melt first crystallized and then generated massive anorthite with high-melting point, reducing the wettability of CFAS melt and physically blocking CFAS penetration paths. As the temperature increased to 1400°C and 1500°C, the wettability of the molten CFAS correspondingly increases. A continuous reaction layer, composed of apatite, fluorite, and garnet, was formed over Yb 4 Hf 3 O 12 ceramic due to the penetration of CFAS melt. Furthermore, the infiltration rate of CFAS decreases with increasing corrosion time because of the barrier effect primarily derived from the as-mentioned continuous reaction layer.
