Reaction sintered silicon nitride as a coating for carbon-carbon composites

Reaction sintered silicon nitride (RSSN) was studied as a substitute coating material on the carbon-carbon material (RCC) presently used as a heat shield on the space shuttle, and on advanced carbon-carbon (ACC), a later development. On RCC, RSSN showed potential in a 538°C (1000°F) screening test i...
