不同增强结构炭/炭复合材料力学及抗烧蚀性能

分别采用轴棒法编织、轴向穿刺以及无纬布/网胎针刺3种结构预制体,经致密化处理得到高密度C/C复合材料,研究了材料力学性能、抗烧蚀性能,并评价了3种增强结构材料的整体性能。结果表明,C/C材料轴向拉伸强度与预制体轴向纤维含量、纤维连续状态有关。轴向穿刺、轴棒法C/C材料轴向拉伸强度明显高于无纬布/网胎针刺C/C材料,但无纬布/网胎针刺C/C材料的径向压缩强度最高。经300 s氧-乙炔烧蚀后无纬布叠层针刺C/C材料的线烧蚀率和质量烧蚀率最低,抗烧蚀最好,烧蚀过程主要受热化学烧蚀和机械剥蚀共同作用。

C/C坯体结构对RMI制备C/SiC复合材料的影响

采用无涂层、SiC涂层、C和SiC复合涂层处理的炭布/网胎预制体,经过CVD和树脂浸渍/炭化混合致密,制备了4种C/C坯体,随后熔融渗硅获得C/SiC复合材料;研究了不同纤维涂层、基体炭类型对C/SiC复合材料弯曲强度和断裂方式的影响,并对复合涂层状态的C/SiC材料的摩擦磨损性能进行测试。结果表明:混合基体炭与纯热解炭的C/C坯体相比,制备的RMI-C/SiC材料弯曲强度更高,且经过涂层处理的C/SiC材料弯曲强度最高;复合涂层、混合基体炭均使材料表现出良好的"假塑性"。复合涂层处理的试样在制动压力0.6～0.8 MPa、惯量0.3～0.4 kg·m~2、转速为6000～7500 r/min的条件下,平均摩擦系数为0.348～0.454,且材料磨损量较小,最大为2.188μm/(面·次)。     

纤维束丝数对平纹编织C/SiC复合材料力学性能的影响

通过对2种丝束平纹编织碳纤维布增强SiC（C/SiC）复合材料的力学性能实验,研究了纤维束丝数（1 k和3 k）对复合材料性能的影响.实验结果表明：1 k C/SiC复合材料的拉伸模量、拉伸强度、压缩模量、压缩强度、面内剪切强度和弯曲强度分别为90.8 GPa,281.8 MPa,135.8 GPa,452.2 MPa,464.3 MPa和126.8 MPa,分别比3 k C/SiC高39%,15.8%,25%,132%,29.3%和30.2%.纤维束粗细不同是导致纤维束弯曲度和复合材料孔隙率差异的主要原因,对压缩强度的影响最大,对拉伸强度的影响最小.     

采用在SiC毡上CVD—SiC涂层提高C／C复合材料抗氧化性能

最近发展起来的SiC纤维复合涂层，也就是SiC/SiC层与化学气相沉积（CVD）SiC结合形成复合涂层，已能够在高温下提高C／C复合材料的抗氧化性。形成的SiC纤维复合涂层约300μm厚，生产时先将SiC毡覆盖在3D－C／C基体材料上，然后浸渍一种碳粉与硅粉均匀分散的料浆进行化学气要沉积。通过化学气相沉积（CVD）过程，在复合材料上形成致密的涂层。在CO2－H2O－N2组成的混合气体（CO2 9％、N273％、H2O18％），1700℃下进行5h氧化实验，结果发现有SiC毡增强复合涂层比没有SiC毡增强复合材料失重率低。SiC纤维毡复合涂层由双层结构组成，里层是多气孔的SiC/SiC纤维层，外层为致密的SiC涂层。由于SiC/SiC纤维层热膨胀系数介于C／C复合基体材料与CVD－SiC涂层之间，因此，SiC/SiC中间层在复合材料中起了重要作用，从而由于热膨胀系数不同产生的热应力致使涂层开裂降低到最低程度。涂层试样氧化后，采用缓冲冲床（MSP）测试其残余强度。MSP测试结果表明氧化后C／C复合材料强度值呈发散性，从纤维折断面看有z轴方向分布纤维存在。然而，这种方法仅适用于测试小尺寸试样。从这篇论文中，可看出涂层后的C／C复合材料有高的抗氧化性，其氧化后仍能保持高的残余强度。     

C/C复合材料预制体结构对摩擦性能的影响

采用整体毡预制体、针刺网胎/无纬布叠层预制体和穿刺预制体,通过化学气相沉积法(CVD)结合液相浸渍法(PIP)制备了C/C复合材料,利用MM1000-Ⅱ型摩擦磨损实验机测试了三种不同预制体C/C复合材料的摩擦性能,采用扫描电子显微镜分别观察了三种C/C复合材料的表面形貌,研究发现预制体结构中纤维排布方式及含量影响C/C复合材料的摩擦系数。相同转速下C/C复合材料的摩擦系数随压力的升高而增大;压力相同的条件下C/C复合材料的摩擦系数随着转速提高而增大;高压高转速下针刺网胎/无纬布制备的C/C复合材料摩擦系数较稳定,整体毡制备的摩擦系数虽小但随转速变化波动较大,穿刺预制体制备的摩擦系数大且波动大,说明穿刺这种增强单元相对较粗大的预制体不适合制备摩擦密封领域的精细结构复合材料。

Comparison of the mechanical hysteresis of carbon/ceramic-matrix composites with different fiber preforms

The mechanical hysteresis of four ceramic matrix composites with different carbon fiber preforms, i.e. needled C/SiC, 2D C/SiC, 2.5D C/SiC, and 3D C/SiC, was investigated and compared during cyclic reloading-unloading tests. An effective coefficient of the fiber volume fraction in the direction of loading (ECFL) was defined to characterize fiber architectures of the preforms. It is shown that an increase in permanent strain and a decrease in stiffness with the applied stress were strongly affected by the ECFL. The thermal residual stress (TRS) and ultimate tensile strength of the composites are predicted theoretically related to the ECFL, and then validated by experimental results and microstructural observations. The predicted results not only demonstrate good agreement with experimental measurements, but also explain why differences in the composite ECFL result in substantial variations in TRS.     

Hysteresis loops of carbon fiber-reinforced ceramic-matrix composites with different fiber preforms

The hysteresis loops of C/SiC ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) with different fiber preforms, i.e., unidirectional, cross-ply, 2D and 2.5D woven, 3D braided, and 3D needled at room temperature have been investigated. Based on fiber slipping mechanisms, the hysteresis loops models considering different interface slip cases have been developed. The effects of fiber volume fraction, matrix cracking density, interface shear stress, interface debonded energy, and fibers failure on hysteresis loops, hysteresis dissipated energy, hysteresis width, and hysteresis modulus have been analyzed. An effective coefficient of fiber volume fraction along the loading direction (ECFL) was introduced to describe fiber preforms. The hysteresis loops, hysteresis dissipated energy and hysteresis modulus of unidirectional, cross-ply, 2D and 2.5D woven, 3D braided and 3D needled C/SiC composites have been predicted.     

Effects of needle-punched felt structure on the mechanical properties of carbon/carbon composites

The effects of needle-punched felt structure, including mass ratio of non-woven cloth to short-cut fiber web, PAN-based carbon fiber types of non-woven cloth and thickness of unit (one layer of non-woven cloth and short-cut web was named as a unit), on the flexural properties of C/C composites from pressure gradient CVI are discussed. Results show that flexural strength and modulus increase when mass ratio of non-woven cloth to short-cut fiber web changes from 7:3 to 6:4 and that PAN-based carbon fiber types of non-woven cloth strongly influence the flexural properties. The strength of C/C composites is not linear with the strength of non-woven cloth carbon fiber because of the important interface between carbon fiber and matrix carbon. It is suitable to choose T300 or T700 as reinforcing carbon fiber for C/C composites in the present study. An optimum unit number per cm of the needle-punched felts for higher flexural properties exists.     

Preparation and properties of 2D C/SiC-ZrB2-TaC composites

Two-dimensional (2D) C/SiC-ZrB₂-TaC composites were fabricated by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) combined with slurry paste (SP) method. 2D laminate was prepared by stacking carbon cloth that was pasted with a mixture of polycarbosilane-ZrB₂-TaC slurry. A small amount of carbon fiber tows were introduced into the preform in the vertical direction. After heat-treated at 1800 °C, the 2D laminate was densified with SiC by CVI to obtain 2D C/SiC-ZrB₂-TaC composites. Properties including flexural strength, interlaminar shear strength, and thermal expansion of the composites were investigated. The ablation test was carried out under an oxyacetylene torch flame. The morphologies of the ablated specimens were analyzed. The results indicate that the adding vertical fiber tows and heat-treatment at 1800 °C can greatly improve the mechanical properties of the composites. The co-addition of TaC and ZrB₂ powders into C/SiC composite effectively enhance its ablation resistance.     

High temperature bending properties and failure mechanism of 3D needled C/SiC composites up to 2000 ℃

Three-dimensional (3D) needled C/SiC composites were prepared and subjected to three-point bending tests from room temperature (RT) to 2000 ℃ under vacuum. The results show that the flexural strength and modulus increase in the range of RT to 800 °C due to the release of thermal residual stress (TRS). At 800–1700 °C, the modulus further increases for the further release of TRS, while the destruction of the pyrolytic carbon (PyC) coating reduces the flexural strength. Up to 2000 ℃, the thermal mismatch stress in the composites cause fiber slippage and matrix crack deflection to be zigzag, which increase the fracture strength. The change of components properties mediated by high temperature and the release of TRS play a leading role in the flexural strength and fracture mode. The results provide important support for the mechanical behavior of 3D needled C/SiC composites at ultra-high temperature.     

化学气相渗透法制备2维和2.5维C/SiC复合材料及其拉伸性能

采用化学气相渗透法制备了2维和2.5维碳纤维增强碳化硅(carbon-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide,C/SiC)复合材料,沿经纱(纵向)和纬纱(横向) 2个方向对2种复合材料进行了室温拉伸性能测试,并从预制体结构和原始缺陷分布的角度对比分析了两者力学性能之间的差异.结果表明:两种C/SiC复合材料均表现出明显的非线性力学行为,在经纱方向和纬纱方向上,2维C/SiC复合材料力学性能表现为各向同性,而2.5维C/SiC复合材料力学性能则表现出明显的各向异性:经纱方向上2.5维C/SiC复合材料的拉伸强度和拉伸模量(326 MPa,153 GPa)均高于2维C/SiC复合材料的(245 MPa,96 GPa),纬纱方向上的(145 MPa,62 GPa)均低于2维C/SiC复合材料的(239 MPa,90 GPa).两种复合材料的拉伸断裂行为均表现为典型的韧性断裂,并伴有大量的纤维拔出.两种复合材料中纱线断裂均呈现出多级台阶式断裂方式,但其断裂位置并不相同.2.5维C/SiC复合材料中由于经纱路径近似于正弦波,弯曲程度较大,在纱线交叉点处造成明显的应力集中,因此经纱多在纱线交叉点处断裂;而纬纱由于其路径近乎直线,应力集中现象不明显,因此纬纱断裂位置呈随机分布.2维C/SiC复合材料中经纱和纬纱由于其路径类似于2.5维C/SiC复合材料中的经纱,因此其断裂位置也多在纱线交叉点处.微观结构观察表明不同的编织结构是造成两种复合材料在不同方向上力学性能差异的主要原因.
