DEVELOPMENT OF A 1200F RADOME.

Abstract

The work covered within this report involves investigation into new matrices and laminate processing improvements. Additional information is reported on the effect of curing atmospheres on laminate strength. Curing under nitrogen extends the life of the protective coating at elevated temperatures but for less than 100 hours. Mechanical and electrical properties data on the improved composite are reported. The mechanical strengths have been markedly improved through the matrix-processing investigation. Initial results on the filament winding feasibility study are reported and indicate a potential for this type of reinforced ceramic composite. A discussion of problem areas, conclusions and recommendations is also presented. (Author)
