Finding the Right Material to Withstand 2000+ deg. F
Finding the Right Material to Withstand 2000+ deg. F
(OP)
Hi,
I'm seeking some type of (semi-inexpensive)material that can withstand 2000°F
I'm trying to design some type of sleeve in which it will temporarily go over the root of an airfoil.
This sleeve has to seal in some way, as well & be easy to slide on & off.
Any suggestions on material or design would be great.
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions. Are any of these a sponge-like material?
I just saw the full application & I'm thinking I can design a block sleeve & in it, will be a sponge-like material that will take the contour of the parts being inserted.
Any material suggestions for this?
Thanks

A search term would be thermal protection system (TPS)

Here is one product of several products offered by Ultramet that can handle your temperature. I would definately give them a call to discuss your requirements.
As post above none of these materials are going to be anywhere near cheap.

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

Thanks for the great feedback & suggestions. I need to put a design together first, then focus on materials.
At the moment, I need to deal with functionality & efficiency to determine if new design concepts is better than our current processes.
I'll keep everyone updated.
Keep the suggestions coming though....
