HONEYCOMB CERAMIC RADOME TECHNIQUES.
Abstract
The object of this effort is to develop processes for making corrugated or cellular A sandwich ogive alumina radomes which will meet a set of performance requirements. Flat test specimens 10 in. square will be made to study and evaluate the process and the A sandwich structure. The prereacted raw materials technique is being adapted to prepare the composition as it results in specimens which are 99% of their true density. The injection molding of slip forming method is being used. A facility used for the study and making of monolithic ogive alumina radomes is being adapted to this program. A 92% alumina composition which is stable to 2800 F is being prepared by the prereacted raw materials technique. An A sandwich structure was designed which will result in specimens which are 50% of the weight of a comparable monolithic structure. It consists of four square cells per square inch with all walls at 0.1 in. thick in the unfired state. (Author)
