Summary
Because the tensile test provides the most fundamental mechanical property data and because of the incentive to produce ceramic composites and coated, inhibited carbon-carbon composites for use in oxidizing environments, Southern Research, under Air Force contract, has been working on tensile tests to 3500°F (1927°C). This work has been broken down into test capabilities to ∼2800°F (1538°C) and to 3500°F (1927°C). The distinction is necessary at this time because two different heating methods are being considered. The lower temperature has been achieved by engineering existing technology. The higher temperature has required more creative engineering and may require some “inventions.” The problem is not necessarily heating but combining the heating method with an adequate strain or deformation measuring system.
