Abstract

Carbon/Carbon is a highly desirable material for use at elevated temperatures in structural applications due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and increasing strength with increasing temperatures.

This presentation will survey the general methods used to fabricate and apply oxidation protection systems to these composites. This will be followed by an overview of typical physical and mechanical properties and selected results from oxidation rate studies.
