AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing wind tunnel experiments of hypersonic vehicles, existing thermal insulation materials have poor performance under high temperature conditions. In particular, SiO2 fiber composite materials have a low safe service temperature, multi-layer stainless steel plate thermal insulation materials are not suitable for large-sized components and are prone to oxidation, and corundum brick composite materials have poor thermal shock resistance and short service life.

Method used

A multi-level structure thermal protection material preparation method is adopted. By combining mullite fibers with aluminosilicate sol to generate nano-mullite particles, a bicontinuous phase structure is formed. Combined with hot pressing, a thermal protection material with a multi-scale structure is prepared.

🎯Benefits of technology

The prepared material has high strength, erosion resistance, thermal shock resistance, and low thermal conductivity, and can remain stable in high-temperature environments, thus extending its service life.
