Abstract

The effects of the specimen size and temperature on the compressive strength of ATJ graphite were investigated. Compressive tests were conducted in accordance with ASTM C 965 at room temperature, $700^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$. Three types of cylindrical specimen at room temperature were used in uniaxial tests, where the diameter-to - length ratios were one to two for the ASTM standard specimen, one to one for the Type I specimen, and one to 0.5 for the Type II specimen. Two kinds of cylindrical specimens, with and without antioxidant coating, were tested at elevated temperature. The Compressive strength of the expanded specimens(Type I, II) were slightly higher than that of standard specimen at room temperature. The compressive strength of a specimen with antioxidant coating increased as the temperature increased to $900^{\circ}C$. In contrast, that of the non-coated specimen decreases sharply due to the oxidation of the specimen.

로켓 노즐 목에 이용되는 ATJ 그라파이트에 대해 시편크기 및 온도에 따른 압축강도를 평가하였다. 압축시험은 ASTM C 965 규정에 준하여 상온 및 고온에서 수행되었다. 상온에서는 직경 대 높이 비가 1:2 인 ASTM 규정에 부합하는 표준시편 및 직경 대 높이비가 1:1 및 1:0.5 인 Type I, Type II 등 2종류의 확대시편이 일축 압축시험에 이용되었다. 또한 고온에서는 산화제를 도포한 코팅시편 및 일반시편을 이용하였다. 시험결과 상온에서 모든 확대시편들이 표준시편보다 약간의 압축강도 증가를 보였다. 고온환경에서의 압축시험결과 코팅시편은 $900^{\circ}C$ 까지 압축강도가 유지되거나 약간의 증가를 보였으나, 일반시편은 산화로 인해 압축강도가 급격하게 감소했다.
