Fused Silica Design Manual. Volume 1

Abstract

The manual provides a summary of the current status of the knowledge of designing radomes of slip-cast fused silica. It is intended to provide scientists and engineers designing and fabricating radomes and associated hardware a basic knowledge of the material and processing techniques as well as basic design information. Subjects covered in this manual are: fused silica raw material preparation, size reduction and slip preparation, slip casting, drying and firing, room temperature and elevated temperature properties.
