HIGH TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE MATERIALS APPLICATION
The objective of this research to develop High Temperature & Heat Resistance Materials. Understanding of scientific phenomena and technology of space, weapon, aircraft, medicine and defence system. Materials research and development of manufacturing science technologies for systems and equipment. Materials: polymers, metals, ceramics, composites, and bio-inspired materials. We are pursuit of advanced concepts and technologies that can solve the problems of today's and future “High Temperature Resistance Materials”. Research areas include propulsion science; ballistic structures and launch dynamics; lethal mechanisms; energetic materials science and technology and advanced weapons concepts. Research areas are; space, aircraft, materials and heat transfer, including armor materials for weapons. Intend to test and develop model with fibres and textile materials and high deformation rate materials; ceramics and transparent materials. Research areas include armor mechanisms; blast protection; multithreat armor; energetics response and mitigation; high-rate mechanics and failure; threat mechanisms and modelling and physics phenomenology. The other areas of research are vehicle and personnel protection technologies (including munition survivability) and the interactions of these technologies with threat weapons, munitions, and explosive devices. Ceramics The overall goal is to produce materials that can perform reliably as sharp leading edges. Processing approaches include the use of preceramic polymers as the SiC source (as opposed to powder techniques), the addition of third phases to control grain growth and oxidation, and the use of processing techniques to produce high purity materials. Both hot pressing and field assisted sintering have been used to make materials characterization of the mechanical and thermal properties of these materials. The research mission encompasses an emphasis on future vehicle platforms for defence systems, Bio- Chemical and Bio- Metallurgical as well as technical support to current applications. The research team of engineers, scientists, mathematicians, technicians, and support personnel are engaged in research and development to provide best materials to end users, such as with the most survivable armoured vehicles and protective equipment. Both hot pressing and field assisted sintering have been used to make materials characterization of the mechanical and thermal properties of these materials. The preceramic polymer approach has generated a microstructure in which elongated SiC grains grow in an in situ composite. This microstructure has the advantage of improving fracture toughness while potentially improving oxidation resistance by reducing the amount and interconnectivity of SiC in the material. Based on this research we are currently developing test on metal/ceramic interactions. “Ultra-High Temperature ceramics are a family of compounds that display an unusual combination of properties, including extremely high melting temperatures (>3000°C), high hardness, and good chemical stability and strength at high temperatures. Typical (Ti, Zr, Hf) plus TaC are generally considered to be the main focus of research due to the superior melting temperatures and stable high-melting temperature oxide that forms in situ”. Focusing on the latest scientific results on Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics; such as performance of boride and carbide ceramics will be provided extremely resistance materials and consequences of this materials, equipment, and system can have huge benefit from it.
