Abstract An investigation of the effect of varying conditions of high-temperature exposure has shown that, at a constant temperature, the supply of oxygen is the principal factor which causes stiffening of the vulcanizates. The loss of volatile plasticizers, when present, also contributes to the stiffening. The test-tube technique, developed in the course of this investigation, in which dumbbell samples are suspended in stoppered test-tubes (38 by 300-mm.) heated by immersion in an oil bath, appears to give results which are considerably more duplicable than those obtained by the usual aging in circulating air ovens. The test-tube technique also gives somewhat better differentiation between good-heat aging and poor-heat aging compounds. The rate of deterioration as measured by elongation change is doubled for an 18° F increase in the exposure temperature. As measured by hardness change the rate is doubled by an increase of 42° F. Tests run at 250° F by this method are no more reproducible than those run at 300° F.

Performing high-temperature measurements on the rotating parts of aero-engine systems requires wireless passive sensors. Surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors can measure high temperatures wirelessly, making them ideal for extreme situations where wired sensors are not applicable. This study reports a new SAW temperature sensor based on a langasite (LGS) substrate that can perform measurements in environments with temperatures as high as 1300 °C. The Pt electrode and LGS substrate were protected by an AlN passivation layer deposited via a pulsed laser, thereby improving the crystallization quality of the Pt film, with the function and stability of the SAW device guaranteed at 1100 °C. The linear relationship between the resonant frequency and temperature is verified by various high-temperature radio-frequency (RF) tests. Changes in sample microstructure before and after high-temperature exposure are analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The analysis confirms that the proposed AlN/Pt/Cr thin-film electrode has great application potential in high-temperature SAW sensors.

AbstractPreliminary creep tests were performed on SiC whisker reinforced and matrix Si3N4 material fabricated by the NPS technique. The material was extensively crystallised in the as received material, leaving only thin amorphous films surrounding the grains. No improvement in the creep resistance could be detected for the whisker reinforced material. The deformation mechanisms were found to be that of cavitation in the form of microcracks, predominantly at the whisker/matrix interfaces, and the formation of larger cracks. Extensive oxidation of the samples, as a result of high temperature exposure to air, was observed for the materials tested at 1375°C.

A reactor with constant-temperature and stepwise decreasing-temperature zones is developed, which can catalyze steam reforming of bio-oil derived organics and methane to produce hydrogen-rich gas with only trace CO in a wide temperature region.
