Processing High Purity Zirconium Diboride Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics: Small-to-Large Scale Processing

Next generation aerospace vehicles require thermal protection system (TPS) materials that are capable of withstanding the extreme aerothermal environment during hypersonic flight (>Mach 5 [>1700 m/s]). Ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTC) such as zirconium diboride (ZrB₂) are candidate TPS m...
