Determination of Factors Governing Selection and Application of Materials for Ablation Cooling of Hypervelocity Vehicles

Abstract

The results obtained from tests of samples of twenty-two different materials are presented. The samples were exposed to the high-temperature plasma discharge produced in an air-stabilized electric arc. The sample shape, test conditions and test procedures, and the material behavior are reported upon.
