A LABORATORY EVALUATION OF SOME CERAMIC AND CERMET MATERIALS FOR BEARING AND SEAL APPLICATIONS IN AIRCRAFT AUXILIARY POWER UNITS AND LIQUID ROCKET MOTORS

Abstract

A preliminary investigation of the high speed-rubbing wear characteristics in JP-4 jet fuel, in JP-X rocket fuel, and in hot oxidizing gas (essentially air, up to 1400 deg F) and the static corrosion resistance in inhibited red fuming nitric acid of selected materials has been conducted.
