Advances in the carbon-ceramic composites oxidation and ablation resistance: A review by Anna Didenko, Alexey Astapov

“…The protective oxide layers slow down the mass transfer of reagents (due to the high gas density caused by the presence of phases in a viscous-fluid state) and resist mechanical erosion and denudation (due to the framework structure provided by the partial sintering of refractory phase grains). Systematization and generalization of experimental data for composites of various compositions was carried out, including consideration of fire exposure modes, realized temperatures and obtained characteristics of linear and mass ablation rates. …”

Effects of stacking sequence of the layers on deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of Ti/Ni laminated metal composites by Jie Zhao, Bing Zhang, Tianli Zhao, Zhijuan Zhang, Zhiqiang Lei, Zhaolin Wang, Zengwen Zhang, Shancheng Zhan, Longjie Dang, Kuaishe Wang

“…By the analysis of strain field, the friction force between the rollers and the plates causes the intensive shear deformation in the outer layer, leading to microstructure characterized by more elongated grains and higher dislocation densities. The velocity field shows that the rheological difference between the component layers of Ni/Ti/Ni is more significant, especially at the exit, which can disrupt the bonded interface and diminish bonding quality. …”

Streaming Torque with Turbulent Diffusion by Qiang Hou, Cong Yu

“…In all cases, τ at the zero-torque turning point, which determines the direction of planetary migration, consistently remains on the order of ∼0.1, corresponding to large pebble-sized dust grains. This suggests that rapid dust coagulation can inhibit the inward migration of planets, implying that weak gas turbulence may enhance the survival of protoplanets.…”
