Process development and characterisation of (Ta,Hf)C ultra-high temperature ceramics

Tantalum carbide (TaC), hafnium carbide (HfC) and compounds in the TaC-HfC system have extremely high melting points (>3700°C) making them potential candidates for thermal protection structures in hypersonic space vehicles. Information regarding mechanical and thermal properties of these compound...
