Selection Techniques for Brittle Materials. Volume II. Evaluation of ZrB2 - MoSi2 as a Structural Refractory Ceramic Body

摘要

A reproducible process for the manufacture of complex leading edge segments was established. The material was a zirconium diboride-molybdenum disilicide solid solution referred to as Boride 'Z'. The process selected for study was cold pressing with subsequent sintering at 2225 to 2245C for 7 to 10 hours. Specimens for material property testing were supplied to Bell Aerosystems Company. Several simple structural elements and leading edge segments were also supplied for test.
