Evaluation of Ththermal Shock Resistancee in Potential Radome Materials

摘要

Comparison of cracking characteristics as functions of heat flux was completed for unnotched specimens (both 3/8 and 3/16 inch wall thickness) of the five materials under study. A distinct relative rating of each materials' ability to withstand thermal shock and thermal stresses was obtained. In addition, the results permitted a differentiation between the relative thermal shock-stress resistance of the two wall thicknesses investigated. (Author)
