Issue 3 november 2011 ultra high temperature ceramics. Ultra high temperature ceramics are good candidates to fulfil the harsh requirements of hypersonic applications.

Current shuttle rcc leading edge materials. Ultrahigh temperature ceramic coatings. Temperature requirements on the materials. Ultra high temperature ceramics uhtcs are a class of refractory ceramics that offer excellent stability at temperatures exceeding 2000 c being investigated as possible thermal protection system tps materials coatings for materials subjected to high temperatures and bulk materials for heating elements.

Sca tteia processing and properties of ultra high temperature ceramics for space applications. For less oxidizing applications that experience higher temperatures ultramet can apply hafnium carbide tantalum carbide or zirconium carbide as coatings or matrices within composites. Ultra high temperature ceramics. Ultra high temperature ceramics uhtcs are materials of interest for use in extreme environments that are beyond the capabilities of other materials.

Sharp leading edged vehicles will require. For more than a decade the materials and structures department dmas of onera has been actively involved in several programmes to develop such materials for different applications hypersonic flights propulsion systems. The first comprehensive book to focus on ultra high temperature ceramic materials in more than 20 years. Ultra high temperature ceramics uhtcs are a class of materials that can be used in environments that exhibit extremes in temperature chemical reactivity erosive attack etc.

Broadly speaking uhtcs are borides carbides nitrides and oxides of early. Densification properties and thermal stability since the 1950s studies have revealed that diborides of the group ivb were the most resistant to oxidation and among these compounds hfb 2 was the best followed by zrb 2.
