Abstract
The characteristic analysis of erosion of NB31 carbon-fiber composite enables the proposal of a novel carbon-fiber composite structure having a distinctly reduced erosion rate. Improvement only relates to the arrangement of the sewing and web fibers and to maintaining the structure of the pitch/carbon fibers, which consist of the main NB31 heat conducting components. The sewing and web fibers of the improved structure reinforce the rigidness/reinforce the thermal shield, compared to the NB31. The improved structure improves the erosion rate so it is 4-5 times lower compared to that of NB31.
