    • An erosion-resistant, chemically vapor-deposited zinc sulfide window and method of making the same are disclosed. The method includes the step of immersing a chemically vapor-deposited or a hot isostatic pressed, chemically vapor-deposited zinc sulfide body into a liquid comprising gallium, the liquid having a temperature of about 600.degree. C. to about 1000.degree. C., for at least about thirty minutes to form a gallium-doped body. The gallium-doped, chemically vapor-deposited zinc sulfide body according to the invention is one capable of transmitting light having a wavelength in the range of about 300 nanometers to about 15,000 nanometers. Furthermore, the gallium-doped, chemically vapor-deposited zinc sulfide window according to the invention is capable of transmitting light, having a wavelength in the range of about 380 nanometers to about 700 nanometers have been exposed to rain erosion for 20 minutes at 470 miles per hour with a 90.degree. incidence angle, with at least about 150% more efficiency than a non-doped, chemically vapor-deposited zinc sulfide window.

    • Single crystal sapphire is conventionally employed for mid-wave IR windows and domes exposed to high aerodynamic heating environments. Single crystal sapphire, however, suffers a loss of compressive strength in the c-axis of 95% on heating from ambient to 800.degree. C. This loss of compressive strength on heating results in poor thermal shock resistance. Poor thermal shock resistance jeopardizes the reliability of the windows and domes. The process of the present invention strengthens sapphire and improves its resistance to thermal shock by introducing magnesium (Mg) ions into the crystal lattice of sapphire to form a solid solution. The solid solution increases the strength of the sapphire. Additionally, a larger increase in strength results from converting the Mg into second phase precipitates comprising magnesium aluminate spinel. The formation of the second phase particulates results in precipitation-hardening or precipitation-strengthening due to the volume change on forming the magnesium aluminate spinel. The second phase particulates comprising magnesium aluminate spinel are held to such a small size that the second phase particulates impart increased fracture strength while not significantly degrading the IR transmission when compared with untreated sapphire. Consequently, precipitation-hardening with magnesium aluminate spinel improves the compressive strength of sapphire while retaining high thermal conductivity and IR transmission.
    • 常规使用单晶蓝宝石用于暴露于高空气动力加热环境的中波IR窗口和圆顶。 然而,单晶蓝宝石在从环境加热到800℃时,在c轴上的抗压强度损失为95%。加热时的抗压强度损失导致差的耐热冲击性。 耐热冲击性差,危及窗户和圆顶的可靠性。 本发明的方法通过将镁(Mg)离子引入蓝宝石的晶格形成固溶体来增强蓝宝石并提高其耐热冲击性。 固体溶液增加了蓝宝石的强度。 另外,由于将Mg转化成包含铝酸镁尖晶石的第二相析出物,强度的增加更大。 由于在形成铝酸镁尖晶石时的体积变化,第二相颗粒的形成导致沉淀硬化或沉淀强化。 包含铝酸镁尖晶石的第二相颗粒被保持为如此小的尺寸,使得与未处理的蓝宝石相比,第二相颗粒赋予提高的断裂强度,而不显着降低IR透射。 因此,使用铝酸镁尖晶石的沉淀硬化可以提高蓝宝石的抗压强度,同时保持高导热率和红外线透射率。

    • Low cost broadband infrared windows are fabricated using a near net shape process which greatly reduces the cost of machining and grinding window materials. The fabrication of zinc sulfide (ZnS) IR windows uses ceramic powder processing to avoid the expensive prior art chemical vapor deposition method. Further, the invention involves a means of hardening and strengthening ZnS as part of the powder process, with IR transmission performance comparable to undoped CVD-prepared ZnS. The compositional modification used in the practice of the invention involves the introduction of gallium sulfide (Ga.sub.2 S.sub.3) as a second phase which acts to toughen and harden the ZnS. The process of the present invention achieves a hardening effect without degrading the IR transmission properties also by means of controlling the polycrystalline microstructure grains to a very small size. At the same time, porosity, which strongly degrades IR transmission, is minimized by full densification. The gallium is introduced into the ZnS by a coprecipitation process to both lower the raw material cost and obtain a suitable submicrometer precursor for the subsequent ceramic processing. The Ga-doped ZnS is then densified into an IR window and a second phase, zinc thiogallate (ZnGa.sub.2 S.sub.4), is precipitated out as a hardening phase by heat treatment. Alternatively, Ga metal is evaporated onto densified ZnS and subjected to heat treatment to form the zinc thiogallate phase.
