DEVELOPMENT OF PYROLYTIC REFRACTORY MATERIALS FOR SOLID-FUEL ROCKETMOTOR APPLICATIONS

Abstract

Continued investigations of the preparation and evaluation of refractory metal alloys of pyrolytic graphite as a function of synthetic parameters are presented. Induction furnace modifications for vapor plating to temperatures in excess of 2500 C, development of analytical techniques, development of coating procedures on complex shapes and additional oxidation data of the materials are reported. Methods of producing satisfactory coatings of various pyrolytic graphites and alloys on graphite nozzles for test firings with Arcocel 163 (6500 F, aluminized) propellant are also described.
