Space Shuttle Columbia explosion, which shocked the world, but also a  source of aerospace materials. Aerospace Science and Industry are invited  to the Group 2 min, a researcher at the Institute of Materials we talk  about the uniqueness of space. Special guest : min, there are many types of  materials, different materials have different purposes, How is the economy  is a difficult material to use to apply knowledge, it is often because of 
people’s ignorance or neglect. brought many disastrous consequences, such  as the rocket exploded and the plane crashed, train derailment, the  collapse of buildings…… from death and destruction, the loss is  incalculable. What is the material? Cihai to materials which are defined as  follows : After the labor of human labor as raw materials, include the  industrial processing of raw materials such as cement materials such as  steel. Materials, the experts were as follows : material civilization and  an important milestone in human evolution. In today’s world new technology  revolution, materials, energy and information known as the three pillars of  civilization. What are the characteristics of aerospace materials? In many  materials, many types of aerospace materials. As rockets, missiles and  satellites of different types and their respective needs, it is the wide  variety of materials are used. liquid, solid, gas, ferrous metals,  nonferrous metals and various non-metallic, superplastic materials,  composite materials, as many as several thousand species. But so much  material to choose up to the very harsh requirements. Some requirements can  resist high temperatures, high pressure resistance. combustion engine  propellant grain will be generated, the high temperatures of over 30  degrees Celsius, the 6 MPa pressure. instantaneous temperature thermal  shock produced 2,500 degrees Celsius, which requires high temperature  engine materials. high performance. Some LOX/LH2 used for rocket  propellant, rocket-storage tanks need to be able to withstand  ultra-low-temperature materials. also corrosion resistance, anti-erosion. 
And as submarine-to-surface missile, the material must be able to withstand  the enormous underwater load, and also have good stealth. strong  interference can be characterized by tolerance harsh environment. In  addition, the details of some of the material requirements are very strict.  If the microscopic structure of materials, grains, mixed; Functional  Materials functional parameter sensitivity; The magnetic alloy precision.  coercivity, remanence; -- Dielectric the resistance, breakdown strength,  loss dielectric constant; microwave and poured absorbentcomposite  material’s transparency; Sealing material sealed reperfusion; Adhesive  bonding strengthwith very detailed requirements. Why the emphasis on  aerospace materials selection? NASA needs very careful material selection.  Rocket, missile, satellite often 100 million, if the materials resulted in  failure, the loss is immeasurable. U.S. space shuttle Challenger in January  1986 during the first 10 hours. Connection of the right rear engine seal  materials failure solid, liquid leakage, resulting in the sky 73 seconds  after the explosion. 7 crew members on board. A company in the United  States, a technician had also deserted the rivet installed on the Space  Shuttle, was discovered, This company was fined 100 million U.S. dollars,  which the craft was sentenced to 20 years in prison. December 28, 1991  China launched the Dongfanghong-A communications satellite because of a  minor on the 2nd Relay Residual metal litter caused failure. The selection  shows that space is very important. Aerospace technology is a complex  systems engineering, which applied the latest achievements of modern  science and technology and many other fields. basic industry is closely  combine science and technology with the product. If not carefully selected  based on the material basis of all other efforts will be derailed. Not long  ago, the Space Shuttle Columbia tragedy reminds us once again of the  importance of this issue. How to test the performance of aerospace  materials?
