Development of High Temperature Resistant Materials for Use in Naval Ordnance.

Abstract

Pyrostrand graphite composite is a carbon filament reinforced pyrolytic graphite formed by simultaneous pyrolytic graphite deposition and filament addition. A previous program demonstrated attractive erosion resistant characteristics for rocket nozzle applications. Additional features of this concept include: (1) the simultaneous deposition of carbides (when desired) to modify the matrix structure, (2) the use of filamentary materials of various textile configurations and mechanical properties and (3) the control of reinforcement placement and content for increased strength and greater erosion resistance in very-high-temperature environments. Work accomplished during this reporting period related primarily to (1) the construction of the 18-inch furnace, (2) the installation of the accessory components, and (3) furnace bake-out and heat-up studies.
