High pressure oxygen is the oxidizer of choice for high performance liquid rocket engine applications. Metallic materials are compatible with liquid oxygen, but high pressure, high temperature gaseous oxygen is a very demanding environment; full flow staged combustion engine cycles will require materials that can operate in that environment. This talk will cover the challenges inherent in designing materials for use in the high pressure high temperature oxygen environment and provide insight into how these challenges can be overcome.
