PREPARATION OF DENSE ABLATIVE COMPACTS.
Abstract
Attempts were made to fabricate a dense material that when heated would produce gaseous products and possibly a slag. Structural strength was an added requirement. In preliminary work tungsten was dispersed in a carbonate phase. This system was too weak mechanically to permit any evaluation whatsoever. In further experimentation attempts were made (1) to make tungsten the continuous phase by sintering tungsten powder by passage of an electric current through it, and (2) to make a compact bonded by tungsten compounds. Variations of these ideas were tried with only moderate success. (Author)
