Research is ongoing at Stanford University on the catalytic decomposition of nitrous oxide as an environmentally friendly monopropellant for propulsion and power applications. Two meso-scale planar monopropellant thrusters have been successfully tested: one made of monolithic silicon carbide utilizing a commercially supplied catalyst, and the other made of Hastelloy-X ® utilizing a rhodium base...

Abstract Hastelloy C276 is widely used in the new generation of nuclear power plants, and hot deformation optimum way to form part. In this investigation, constitutive modeling alloy are researched, processing maps drawn. The results show that strain rate temperature have remarkable impacts on behaviors alloy. yield behavior flow stress predicted based Arrhenius equation, correlation coefficien...
