Abstract

The article is devoted to the technological aspects of strengthening cordierite ceramics used as nose fairings in rocket equipment. The strengthening was performed by ion exchange in a barium salt melt. The influence of technological factors on the main properties of the strengthened cordierite ceramics for rocket applications has been determined.

Keywords
