ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY FOR PROPULSION SYSTEMS. VOLUME 3. REFRACTORY MATERIALS
Abstract
IN ORDER TO WITHSTAND HIGH TEMPERATURE AND EROSION CONDITIONS ENCOUNTERED WITH ALUMINIZED PROPELLANTS NEW MATERIALS ARE BEING DEVELOPED AND THE MORE ESTABLISHED REFRACTORY METALS (carbides, nitrides, borides, oxides, silicides, sulfides, intermetallic compounds and graphites) are being investigated. Physical and mechanical roomtemperature properties for most of the refractory materials were compiled and tabulated. High temperature physical and mechanical properties are presented for some of the refractory materials. Brief descriptions of the various materials are included. Material suppliers and fabricators, and some fabrication methods used in rocket nozzles are discussed.
