Quantitative assessment of the frictional ignition resistance of metals in high-pressure oxygen

In this work, we developed a material index for selecting alloys resistant to frictional ignition in high-pressure oxygen environments. A previous ignition-resistance metric proposed by NASA WSTF varies strongly and unpredictably with test conditions, thus limiting its usefulness. The material index...
