Abstract:

The purpose of this investigation was to identify by survey the probable maximum use temperatures and stress levels for Sintered Alpha Silicon Carbide in expected marine salt containing and oxidizing environments as a function of sample surface condition. The results of this survey should be useful to define the areas where more detailed and more statistically significant experiments could be conducted.
