Structure-Property Relationships of Tantalum Carbide Foams and Synthesis of an Interpenetrating Phase Composite

Ceramic and refractory metal foams have a potential for use in extreme environments, such as in fuel elements within nuclear reactors both in space and terrestrial applications. In addition, infiltrating an open-cell ceramic foam with a continuous second phase can create an interpenetrating phase c...
