TZM alloys are used in the manufacture of hot air valves, which require precise control at high temperatures and pressures. The high temperature stability and corrosion resistance of TZM alloys enable them to operate reliably under extreme conditions. The hot air valve plays a key role in the starting and running of the engine, and its performance directly affects the working efficiency and reliability of the engine.
Second, hypersonic vehicles
1. Nose cone and wing leading edge
Hypersonic vehicles face extremely high heat flux and thermal strain during flight, and TZM alloy is used to make key parts such as nose cones and wing leading edges due to its high melting point and high temperature strength retention ability. These components need to withstand high temperatures and aerodynamic heating during high-speed flight. Its excellent high-temperature properties and corrosion resistance enable it to maintain structural integrity and performance under extreme conditions.
2. Engine inlet
The engine inlet of hypersonic vehicle needs to be stable under high temperature and high speed airflow, and the high temperature performance of TZM alloy tube makes it an ideal material for the inlet. Its corrosion and creep resistance ensures the reliability of the inlet under extreme conditions. The performance of the intake port directly affects the intake efficiency and combustion efficiency of the engine. The application of TZM alloy tube can significantly improve the performance of the aircraft.
3. Thermal protection system
TZM alloys are used in the manufacture of thermal protection systems to protect the structures and components of aircraft in high temperature environments. Its excellent high temperature performance and corrosion resistance enable it to provide reliable thermal protection under extreme conditions. Thermal protection systems are essential for the safe operation of aircraft, and the application of TZM alloys can effectively reduce the risk of thermal damage.
Missile components
1. Nozzle throat liner
The nozzle liner of the missile needs to withstand high temperature and high pressure combustion gas, and the high melting point and heat resistance of the TZM alloy rod make it an ideal material for the nozzle liner. Its high strength and corrosion resistance ensure the reliability of the nozzle throat liner during long working hours. The performance of nozzle throat lining directly affects the thrust and flight performance of the missile, and the application of TZM alloy rod can significantly improve its performance.
2. Structural parts
TZM alloy plates are used to make other structural parts of the missile, such as the guide wings, which need to maintain high strength and rigidity under high speed flight and complex load environments. The excellent mechanical properties of TZM alloys enable them to meet these requirements. The performance of the structural components directly affects the flight stability and maneuverability of the missile, and the application of TZM alloy can improve its overall performance.
3. High temperature fasteners
