TUFI, Toughened Uni-Piece Fibrous Insulation, a functionally gradient material has been successfully flying on the Shuttle Orbiters in several locations on two insulation substrates over the past few years. TUFI is composed of insulation and a gradated surface treatment. The locations it has flown include the base heat shield where damage had been observed after every flight before its application. It was also applied to the to of the body flap, the bottom of the body flap and around selected windows and doors where damage had been observed in the past. A description of the types of processing used including substrates will be presented and its overall performance will be reviewed.
