Abstract

ZrB2-SiC-graphite ultra high temperature ceramic (UHTC) corrugated panel was firstly proposed and fabricated with potential application for sandwich structured thermal protection system. The compression properties of the as-prepared ultra high temperature ceramic corrugated panel were evaluated at 1600°C in air. The compression modulus and strength of this ultra high temperature ceramic corrugate panel were 312MPa and 17MPa respectively. The design of corrugated panel exhibited an excellent combination of lightweight and excellent compression properties. This study would provide a novel concept of ultra high temperature ceramic corrugated panel for the design of ultra high temperature thermal protection system applications.
