Short description about the volume:


The scope of the book will encompass a wide spectrum of materials—ranging from ultra-high-temperature ceramics (UHTCs), refractory metals, carbon-carbon composites, superalloys, ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), to emerging materials like high-entropy alloys and graphene-based systems. It will comprehensively discuss their thermal, mechanical, and chemical behaviors under extreme heat and stress conditions commonly encountered in flight systems, re-entry vehicles, turbine engines, and rocket propulsion. In addition to materials, the book will delve into advanced manufacturing techniques such as additive manufacturing, spark plasma sintering, and hot isostatic pressing, focusing on their applicability, challenges, and integration in aerospace production. It also will cover protective coating technologies like thermal and environmental barrier coatings, emphasizing their role in enhancing material longevity and resistance to degradation.

Furthermore, the book plans to explore modern testing and characterization methods, AI-assisted material design, computational modeling, and sustainable practices, including recycling and green manufacturing, aligning the discussion with contemporary research and industrial trends. Designed for materials scientists, aerospace engineers, researchers, and graduate students, this book will serve as both a foundational reference and a forward-looking guide, offering critical insights into the selection, processing, and application of materials that empower next-generation aerospace and hypersonic technologies.
