The paper presents the results of creating protective coatings on niobium and tantalum samples. These coated samples are tested for heat resistance in air in the temperature range of 1700–1900°C. The coating is formed by the method of activated vacuum diffusion saturation at temperatures of 1150–1310°C. When forming a part of the protective coatings, a layer of slurry is applied to the surface of the samples, followed by chemical and thermal treatment in a vacuum in the presence of NaCl vapours. A thermodynamic analysis of possible chemical reactions taking place in the process of formation of protective coatings is carried out. The developed heat-resistant coatings provide protection of niobium samples from air oxidation at a temperature of 1700°C from 8 to 13.5 hours. Heat-resistant coatings created on samples with Nb and Ta protect them from exposure to an oxidizing environment from 3 to 6.3 hours at a temperature of 1800°C and for 0.5 hours at a temperature of 1900°C.

Key words: protective layer, activated vacuum diffusion saturation, solid non-porous coatings, refractory metals, heat-resistant.
