ZrC and ZrN ceramics are of interest in the application of materials in extreme high
temperature environments, particularly for nuclear applications in generation IV reactors …

Dense tantalum carbide (TaC) ceramics were prepared using TaC nanopowder via spark
plasma sintering (SPS). The effects of the sintering temperature and applied pressure on the …

The mechanical properties of a ZrB2‐10 vol% ZrC ceramic were measured up to 2300° C in
an argon atmosphere. Dense billets of ZrB2‐9.5 vol% ZrC‐0.1 vol% C were produced by hot …

This paper presents results of a system study of transpiration-cooled thermal protection
systems for Earth reentry. The cooling performance for the sustained hypersonic flight and …

In this study hafnium diboride was fabricated using the additive manufacturing technique
robocasting. Parts have been successfully produced with complex shapes and internal …

Porous ultra-high-temperature ceramics (UHTCs) are a candidate group of materials for
transpiration cooling of hypersonic vehicles due to their exceptionally high melting point …

The flow around a hypersonic vehicle is characterised by certain physical flow phenomena,
eg viscous interaction, high-temperature effects, etc., and the resulting high heat load …

Bulk titanium diboride–niobium diboride ceramic composites were consolidated by spark
plasma sintering (SPS) at 1950° C. SPS resulted in dense specimens with a density …

Super-hard materials have been extensively investigated due to their practical importance in
numerous industrial applications. To stimulate the design and exploration of new super-hard …

A liquid‐phase polymer‐to‐ceramic approach is reported for the synthesis of hafnium
carbide (HfC)/hafnium oxide (HfO2) composite particles from a commercial precursor …
