Propulsion tests on ultra-high-temperature ceramic matrix composites for reusable rocket nozzles

Ultra-high-temperature ceramic matrix composites (UHTCMCs) based on a ZrB2/SiC matrix have been investigated for the fabrication of reusable nozzles for propulsion. Three de Laval nozzle prototypes, obtained by sintering with either hot pressing (HP) or spark plasma sintering (SPS), were tested 2–3...
