ABLATIVE MATERIALS: A NEW GEN OF INDUSTRIES! What are Ablative Materials? So basically, These materials are unique kind of materials, where they accommodate virtually high temperature or heat flux conditions and automatically controls the surface temperature by restricting any internal flow of heat & expands for each pound of material. These are materials which are also used to protect the vehicles from entry of any atmospheric particles These materials use a heat shield for a vehicle to protect it from excessive heating and also acts as structured component. This process of protecting the material from excess heating is done by the elimination of thermal energy by sacrifice of surface materials. The process: The process involved is known as "ablation". The process describes the absorption, dissipation and blockage of heat associated with high-speed entry into the atmosphere. Ablative materials are applied to the exterior of load bearing structure where it will redirect...
