Configuration and Calibration of High Temperature Furnaces for Testing Ceramic Matrix Composites

Abstract

A dedicated experimental test program aimed to characterize the material behavior of seven different ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials at room and elevated temperature for thermal protection systems is described. This report describes how to configure a furnace, set up a thermal profile, and conduct a thermal profile for testing CMCs at elevated temperatures up to 1300 deg C.
