PYROLYTIC CARBIDE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Abstract

Two tantalum carbide coated ARC nozzles were produced. A table of the nozzles and and the progress made in their evaluation are presented. One tantalum carbide coated nozzle was tested in ARC firing M-277 but no useful data were obtained. The best firing results to date were obtained with a niobium carbide coated nozzle. The pressure trace indicated no erosion for 27 seconds,AT WHICH TIME A PORTION OF THE EXIT CONE WAS REMOVED. (Author)
