Castable thermal insulation for use as heat shields

A. J. Mountvala, Hajime Nakamura, H. L. Rechter

Abstract

Structural members supporting the afterburners of high thrust rocket engines are subjected to extreme heating, along with severe vibration and high acceleration levels during early lift-off. Chemically-bonded, castable, zircon composite foams were developed and successfully tested to meet specific, laboratory simulated lift-off conditions.
