WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
The past few decades have seen phenomenal
research on Ultra High Temperature
Ceramics (UHTCs), which are commonly
defined as materials with very high melting
temperatures (~3273 K) and ability to
perform
under
extreme
thermal
environments. The adverse environmental
effects include detrimental effects of high
temperature, chemical reactions, mechanical
stresses and radiation. In particular, a
significant part of the research has been
motivated by material needs for hypersonic
aerospace
application.
For
example,
atmospheric re-entry vehicles, rockets and
scramjet powered air-breathing hypersonic
cruise vehicles primarily encounter high
pressures and heat flux on the leading edges
due to air stagnation and shock waves. Also
the respective propulsion systems experience
high temperature exothermic combustion
reactions
to
produce
thrust.
The trajectories for hypersonic space vehicles
demand high thermal resistance for the base
material to sustain operating temperatures in
range 1873-2673 K. These conditions are
beyond the capabilities of many engineering
ceramics and have motivated researchers to
pursue the development of UHTCs.
Recent research is also focused on the
development of Hafnium and Zirconium
based boride ceramics using advanced
ceramic processing techniques for leading
edge sections of hypersonic vehicles which
experience
extreme
thermo-mechanical
loading. Novel additives are being added to
the ceramics to enhance oxidation resistance
and thermo-mechanical properties. This
requires an in-depth understanding of the
structural stability of the ceramic by
evaluating micro-structural characteristics,
determination
of
high
temperature
mechanical properties, study of shockmaterial
interaction
under
different
experimental conditions (shock wave
velocity, number of pulses, environment and
pulse
duration)
etc.
In order to address these critical issues and
share research perspectives on development
of UHTCs, a one day workshop on "Ultra
High Temperature Ceramics" is being
organized.
The leading experts in the field will deliver
classroom lectures and research oriented talks
on UHTC development.
A special session -‘Listen to Corporate
R&D’ will give an opportunity for industry
academia interaction.
This workshop will be very useful for the
young researchers and attendees will learn
about the latest cutting edge research in the
area of ceramics. The interaction with experts
will provide valuable perspective in the field
for active researchers. The workshop is being
co-organized by "BrahMos-IISc Centre of
Excellence in Hypersonics".
