Download or read book Carbon Carbon Composites Solid Rocket Nozzle Material Processing Design and Testing written by A. Canfield and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One hundred and one ring shapes (2 to 16 in. in diameter) of carbon/carbon composites have been tested and evaluated to determine the processing cycle, the design properties, the ablative performance in a solid rocket nozzle environment, and the reinforcement tailoring for design applications. A carbon/carbon composite with a carbon or graphite reinforcement (cloth, fiber, felt, yarn, or granular) and a carbon or graphite bonding matrix (pitch, resin, or pyrolytic graphite) has demonstrated a capability to replace a warm standard nozzle ablative (carbon or graphite cloth phenolic) and room temperature structural (steel or aluminum) shells with a single hot material nozzle design. The carbon/carbon material provides an improved nozzle and missile performance through a lower nozzle weight volume and simpler design. The carbon/carbon material uses a 5500 F maximum processing cycle and develops a room temperature ultimate strength and modulus ranging from 3 to 88 ksi and 1.2 to 17.0 x 106 psi, respectively, an ablation erosion rate of 0 to 10 mil/s, and a reinforcement orientation of 0 to 90 deg with respect to the nozzle center line. In addition, the material offers good mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and structural integrity for a nozzle operating temperature of 5500 F and a pressure of 500 psi. The carbon/carbon limitations are longer procurement time, a need for additional processing and material properties, a high cost per pound in development quantities, and a greater design application analysis time than with existing standard ablative and structural materials.

Download or read book An Experimental Apparatus for Investigating the Kinetic Reactions in Solid Rocket Nozzles written by J. P. Pope and published by . This book was released on 1979* with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present interest in carbon composite and bulk polycrystalline graphite materials for solid propellant rocket nozzles has occurred primarily due to the poor thermostructural performance of conventional pyrolytic graphite throat inserts as propellant flame temperature is increased. Circumvention of this problem has necessitated complex, multi-component nozzle configurations which are not only costly to fabricate but inherently less reliable than an integral design. Composite materials, in particular carbon-carbon composites, offer the potential of considerable improvement in manufacturing, reliability and performance attributes compared to pyrolytic graphite. However, their ablation response in the primarily rate-controlled ablation regime of rocket nozzles is poorly understood. At the present time their ablation response is being assessed using the same techniques previously applied to non-porous pyrolytic graphite; e.g., evaluation of the kinetic coefficients from measurements of recession rate in arc plasma generator (APG) facilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A program is presented for the characterization of advanced carbon-carbon and pyrolytic graphite materials for solid rocket nozzle application. The various elements of the program are examined, and techniques for measuring individual elements are discussed. Particular attention is directed toward several unique techniques that have been developed especially for this program. Data are presented that show the relationship of material properties and microstructual characteristics to fabrication processing conditions. The use of key properties characterization to fingerprint carbon-carbon and pyrolytic graphite materials within their generic families is postulated. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1966, there has bean a continuing effort to reduce the cost of large, reinforced ablative composite solid rocket nozzles through the use of inexpensive materials and low-cost fabricating techniques. The Aerojet-General Corporation has conducted evaluation programs on behalf of the Air Force and NASA; so has the Thiokol Chemical Corporation. Both the Air Force and NASA have sponsored the development and testing of low-cost materials systems. This paper reviews the processing techniques and the materials that have been evaluated during the past four years; describes the capabilities and limitations; and discusses the means for effecting continued economics.
