Evaluation of coated columbium for thermal protection systems applicationCoated columbium alloys were evaluated for thermal protection system (TPS) application in the maximum operating temperature range from 1370 to 1590 K. Evaluation of materials combinations, subsize panels, and single panel TPS led to the development of a full-size nine-panel TPS array. This array was subjected to simulated shuttle missions of both thermal and acoustic loading. Results are presented which illustrate the structural and thermal adequacy under uniform heating and manufacturability of a full-size coated columbium-alloy TPS which is lightweight, reliable, and reusable.
