A MoSi2-ZrB2 coating was prepared on SiC-coated C/C composites by supersonic plasma spraying, and the effects of particle diameter and subsequent heat treatment in argon at different temperatures on the adhesion strength were studied. The results show that the MoSi2-ZrB2 coating sprayed with an average powder diameter of 29.2 μm could melt thoroughly and form a dense structure without micro-pore, which results in a relatively good adhesion strength of 11.4 MPa compared with 9.2 and 8.6 MPa of the coatings sprayed with the powder diameter of 58.2 and 35.5 μm. The coating presents a decreasing porosity from 2.2 to 1.5% and an increasing adhesion strength from 11.6 to 16.9 MPa after heat treatment at 800 °C, which is mainly caused by slight sintering of SiO2 and B2O3
