About

The objective of this work is to develop a self-healing refractory castable for the use in Vikas engine. The same shall be used for thermal protection systems in the reusable vehicles. The project is to evaluate simultaneous mass loss, thermal and fluid dynamic changes in a refractory castables, hydration kinetics, rheological properties and curing conditions at different water to refractory cement ratio. A method is being developed for understanding the impact of variablies such as the curing environment and the type of binder agent, healing agent or permeability-aid additives on voids and crack formation, thereby helping to define the best castable composition.

Achievements

The project being undertaken by ISRO in collaboration with academia is directly or indirectly beneficial to the society.
