Tungsten filament plays a vital role in the protective device of spacecraft, which is mainly due to the high melting point, high density, high strength, good thermal conductivity and radiation resistance of tungsten. The following is the specific role of tungsten filament in the protective device of spacecraft:
- Thermal protection role
High temperature tolerance:
When the spacecraft reenters the atmosphere or performs other high-temperature tasks, the surface will be subjected to extremely high temperatures. The high melting point of tungsten filament (up to 3410℃) makes it an ideal thermal protection material that can effectively withstand these high-temperature environments and protect the internal structure of the spacecraft from damage.
Heat conduction and heat dissipation:
Tungsten wire has good thermal conductivity and can quickly conduct heat from high temperature areas to low temperature areas, and release heat to the external environment through heat dissipation mechanisms. This property makes tungsten wire play a key heat dissipation role in the thermal protection system of spacecraft, helping to maintain the temperature stability inside the spacecraft.
- Structural support and strength enhancement
High strength:
Tungsten wire has high strength characteristics and can withstand extreme mechanical environments, such as aerodynamic forces, vibrations and impacts during high-speed flight. This makes tungsten wire an ideal material for structural support and strength enhancement in spacecraft protection devices.
Deformation resistance:
Many materials will deform or fail under high temperature and high pressure environments. However, tungsten wire, with its excellent deformation resistance, can maintain structural integrity and stability under these extreme conditions, thereby ensuring the safe operation of spacecraft.
- Radiation protection
High-density shielding:
The high density of tungsten wire makes it an effective radiation shielding material. When the spacecraft passes through the cosmic ray and high-energy particle area, tungsten wire can absorb and block these harmful radiations, protecting the equipment and personnel inside the spacecraft from radiation damage.
Stable radiation resistance:
Compared with other radiation shielding materials, tungsten wire can still maintain the stability of its radiation resistance when exposed to radiation environment for a long time. This feature makes tungsten wire an ideal choice for radiation protection during long-term on-orbit operation of spacecraft.
- Other potential effects
Weight reduction:
Although tungsten wire has a high density, due to its high strength and deformation resistance, it can reduce the overall weight of the spacecraft while ensuring the protection effect. This is of great significance for improving the flight performance of spacecraft and reducing launch costs.
Multifunctional integration:
With the continuous development of aerospace technology, the requirements for spacecraft protection devices are getting higher and higher. Tungsten wire can not only be used as a thermal protection or radiation protection material alone, but also can be combined with other materials to form a multifunctional composite material to meet the comprehensive needs of spacecraft for protection, weight reduction and performance improvement.
