Re: peroxide compatibility question

Hi,

I wonder why the Black Knight creators used steel for
the tubes, which made the chamber wall of their
engines. The steel is certainly more sturdy, than
copper, however, the copper is considered the material
of choice for the chamber wall because
thermoconductivity benefits outweight the disadvantage
in construction strength. However, in this particular
case - peroxide engines - there is an additional
problem of compatibility. OTOH, the (in)compatibility
problem can be handled with inner coating - not too
thick, to maintain a good thermoconductance, and not
too thin, to shield the peroxide from the copper
walls. Have anybody pursued such a path?
