An article used for thermal protection includes a base structure having at least one surface. The base structure is made of a ceramic oxide material. A silicide coating is formed on the at least one surface of the base structure. The coating comprises a refractory metal and silicon, which together form a silicide. The coating is at least partially diffused into the base structure at the at least one surface.
