  2. Ultra-high temperature ceramic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high_temperature_ceramic

    Ultra-high-temperature ceramics (UHTCs) are a type of refractory ceramics that can withstand extremely high temperatures without degrading, often above 2,000 °C. [1] They also often have high thermal conductivities and are highly resistant to thermal shock, meaning they can withstand sudden and extreme changes in temperature without cracking or breaking.

  3. Thermal conductivity and resistivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity_and...

    The thermal conductivity of a material is a measure of its ability to conduct heat.It is commonly denoted by , , or and is measured in W·m −1 ·K −1.. Heat transfer occurs at a lower rate in materials of low thermal conductivity than in materials of high thermal conductivity.

  4. SiC–SiC matrix composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SiC–SiC_matrix_composite

    SiC–SiC composites have a relatively high thermal conductivity and can operate at very high temperatures due to their inherently high creep and oxidation resistance. Residual porosity and stoichiometry of the material can vary its thermal conductivity, with increasing porosity leading to lower thermal conductivity and presence of Si–O–C ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_thermal_conductivities

    Very high thermal conductivity measurements up to 22,600 w m −1 K −1 were reported by Fenton, E.W., Rogers, J.S. and Woods, S.D. in reference 570 on page 1458, 41, 2026–33, 1963. The data is listed on pages 6 through 8 and graphed on page 1 where Fenton and company are on curves 63 and 64.

  6. Ceramic matrix composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_matrix_composite

    Conventional ceramics are very sensitive to thermal stress because of their high Young's modulus and low elongation capability. Temperature differences and low thermal conductivity create locally different elongations, which together with the high Young's modulus generate high stress. This results in cracks, rupture, and brittle failure.

  7. Ceramic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic

    General properties such as high melting temperature, high hardness, poor conductivity, high moduli of elasticity, chemical resistance, and low ductility are the norm, [8] with known exceptions to each of these rules (piezoelectric ceramics, low glass transition temperature ceramics, superconductive ceramics).

  8. Ultra-high temperature ceramic matrix composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high_temperature...

    On the other side bulk ceramics made of ultra-high temperature ceramics (e.g. ZrB 2, HfB 2, or their composites) are hard materials which show low erosion even above 2000 °C but are heavy and suffer of catastrophic fracture and low thermal shock resistance compared to CMCs. Failure is easily under mechanical or thermo-mechanical loads because ...

  9. Refractory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory

    Refractory materials must be chemically and physically stable at high temperatures. Depending on the operating environment, they must be resistant to thermal shock, be chemically inert, and/or have specific ranges of thermal conductivity and of the coefficient of thermal expansion.
