More Information
Summary:Ultra‐High temperature ceramics are materials of interest for aerospace applications, including nosetips, leading edges, and rocket nozzles. With use temperatures of over 2000°C in oxidizing environments, the oxidation and mechanical behavior at high temperature are of major importance for engineering design and performance. This chapter addresses the carbides and nitrides of hafnium and zirconium, and focuses on the mechanical properties and oxidation behavior.
