Ceramic radome manufacturing.

The existing different near net shape fabrication techniques for manufacturing of ceramic radomes are discussed and compared. Gelcasting is one of the manufacturing techniques to produce radomes with homogeneous and high green strength. Successful manufacturing of the tooling and technique may result in the ability to fabricate 300 400 ceramic radomes per year. Each successfully tooled radome should be tested for rf insertion loss at w band to measure if it is within acceptable standards.

The melt limit for each material except scfs is defined herein as the temperature. Ceram 9606 is its highly developed manufacturing pro cess. Since a large body of working knowledge exists about pyroceram 9606 given its widespread use as a radome material it offers a baseline against which to evaluate new radome materials. The glass ceramic material produced by corning since the 1950s is opaque gray in color and has high strength high elastic modulus and uniform dielectric properties.

The existing different near net shape fabrication techniques for manufacturing of ceramic radomes are discussed and compared. Corning produces a proprietary material corning pyroceram for use in missile radomes. Ceramic materials show variational properties with sintering time temperature and other additives. Finalize and fabricate tooling to prepare for production run.
