【 摘 要 】

Self-designed oxygen-kerosene ablation system was employed to study the ablation characteristics of silicone rubber based thermal insulation materials under the condition of boron oxide particles erosion. The ablation test was designed with a mass fraction of 1.69% boron oxide particles and particles-free, the microstructure and elemental analysis of the specimens before and after ablation were carried out by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersion Spectrum (EDS). Experiment results show that the average mass ablation rate of the materials was 0.0099 g•s-1and the average ablation rate was -0.025 mm•s-1under the condition of pure gas phase ablation; and the average mass ablation rate of the multiphase ablation test group was 0.1775 g•s-1, whose average ablation rate was 0.437 mm•s-1; during the ablation process, the boron oxide particles would adhere a molten layer on the flame contact surface of the specimen, which covering the pores on the material surface, blocking the infiltration channel for the oxidizing component and slowing down the oxidation loss rate of the material below the surface, but because the particles erosion was the main reason for material depletion, the combined effect of the above both led to the upward material ablation rates of Silicone Rubber.
