Ablation behavior of non-equimolar Cf/(Hf1/2Zr1/3Ta1/6)C-SiC composites under varying oxyacetylene flame conditions

Key Points

• Ablation rates were notably influenced by the oxyacetylene flame conditions, impacting material performance.
• Optimal thermal properties were observed at specific flame temperatures, leading to reduced ablation.
• Experimental analysis across varying flame conditions highlighted differences in ablation behavior of composites.
• Further understanding of non-equimolar compositions could enhance the design of heat-resistant materials.
