An Ultra-High Temperature Ceramic with Improved Fracture Toughness and Oxidation Resistance
SBC: Plasma Processes, LLC Topic: MDA09T002Hypersonic missile defense systems are being designed to reach global threats. During flight, external surfaces are predicted to reach temperatures in excess of 2200C. As a result, innovative, high performance thermal protection systems (TPS) are of great demand. Among ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTC), it is well known that ZrB2- and HfB2-based materials have high melting temperatures and ...
