Metal silicate has the advantages of both metal and silicate materials. It has low density, high hardness, wear resistance, good thermal conductivity, and will not be brittle due to sudden cooling or heating. In addition, coating the metal surface with a silicate material coating that has good air tightness, high melting point, and poor heat transfer performance can also prevent the metal or alloy from oxidizing or corroding at high temperatures. Metal silicate materials have the toughness, high thermal conductivity and good thermal stability of metals, as well as the high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and wear resistance of silicate materials. Metal silicate materials are widely used in rockets, missiles, supersonic aircraft shells, flame nozzles of combustion chambers, etc. [2].
