Metal reinforced refractory ceramic coating systems have been developed to successfully withstand temperatures in excess of 4000F while providing insulative values for the supporting substructure. Eighty coating compositions were formulated and thermally evaluated in the plus 4000F range. Refractory coating of model nose cones and leading edges has been accomplished by utilizing a vibratory casting technique and the feasibility of this approach has been demonstrated. Twelve small scale leading edge ...
