Aerothermodynamic Evaluation of Candidate Materials for SRAAM-Type Missile Systems.

Abstract

A materials screening test was conducted in the von Karman Gas Dynamics Facility Hypersonic Wind Tunnel C to determine the performance of several materials considered for potential use as missile control surfaces and fuselage body panels. The materials samples were tested using the wedge technique. Test conditions were representative of the aerothermal environment encountered during a typical missile flight profile. Twenty-seven material specimens were tested with photographic coverage being the primary data. Selected results are presented to illustrate the test techniques and to show typical data obtained.
