The 12 ceramics samples of Ural Research Institute of Composite Materials were investigated in the wind tunnel VAT-104 of TsAGI in air plasma flow which simulated the hypervelocity flight. Model used were discs and blunted cones. All samples had withstood the tests without decomposition, the sample temperature and test time being respectively up to 2800 K and 1200 seconds. It was found there is a big delay in heating of the samples, thought they are of great thermo conductivity. A very interesting phenomenon, the formation of highly catalytic thermo barrier film on the front surface of sample, was also observed. It was a formation of this film that coursed a jump of 500-1000 K of surface temperature during the test. The sample catalytic activity was evaluated using modernized methodology based upon parametrical numerical simulation.
