THE OXIDATION OF ZIRCONIUM CARBIDE IN HIGH-TEMPERATURE COMBUSTION GASES

摘要: AbstractThe reactions of sintered zirconium and titanium carbides have been studied in simulated rocket combustion gases at surface temperatures about 2250° C. Under these conditions carbide is oxidized according to a parabolic law owing the formation an adherent oxide film. No film formed on under same conditions, it decreases weight dimensions relatively rapid rate.
