The thermal conductivity, thermal expansion, Youngs Modulus,¯exural strength, and brittle± plastic deformation transition temperature were determined for HfB 2 , HfC 0Á98 , HfC 0Á67 , and HfN 0Á92
3000°C. That’s not just hot … it’s EXTREMELY hot. It is above the melting or decomposition temperatures for most of the materials known to man. But in the world of extreme environment engineering, it is just a baseline.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
