Problems solved by technology

At present, the method is mainly divided into isothermal and isobaric chemical vapor infiltration (ICVI) and temperature and pressure gradient chemical vapor infiltration (FCVI). The former mainly relies on the diffusion of reactants along the gap to form a ceramic matrix composite due to the densification process. Therefore, the densification period is long, the efficiency is low, and it is not easy to produce thick components, and the porosity of the latter is relatively high, which cannot meet the requirements of practical applications.
[0006] The Chinese patent application number CN104177113A discloses a SiC bonded ceramic matrix composite material and its preparation method, which is characterized in that ceramic powder is used as the base material, polycarbosilane-xylene is easily used as the binder, and the molded preform is formed. Combining polymer impregnation pyrolysis (PIP) and chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) to prepare high-density ceramic matrix composites, this method does not need to add sintering aids, and the high-temperature performance of the product is good, but the mixture needs to be prepared during the preparation process. Putting it into a special mold for compression molding, this method is more suitable for preparing simple composite material structural parts, for large and complex composite material components, this method does not have good operability
[0007] In the third issue of "Journal of Inorganic Materials" published in 2008, the "CVI+PIP" method mixed process was used to prepare low-cost C / SiC composite materials. The volume shrinkage of the pyrolysis product is small, and the pyrolysis product is relatively dense. However, since Ti is used as a metal active filler (density 4.54g / cm3), adding it to the interior of the composite material will increase the weight of the material. Due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the TiC formed by the reaction of carbon components and the matrix SiC, it is easy to cause cracks inside the matrix

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for enhancing density of a SiC / SiC ceramic matrix composite. The method comprises the following steps: (1) a SiC / SiC ceramic matrix composite with a certain densification degree is immersed in slurry, in which an organic precursor and SiC powder are uniformly dispersed, and impregnation is carried out in an environment of 5-10 KPa vacuum degree for 20-50 min; (2) a material which has undergone vacuum impregnation is dried and the dried material undergoes cross-linking and curing; (3) the cross-linked and cured material undergoes pyrolysis treatment; and (4) the material which has undergone pyrolysis treatment further undergoes densification process in the atmosphere of a gaseous precursor containing Si and C elements by a chemical vapor infiltration technology while infiltration temperature is 850-1100 DEG C, pressure intensity is 10-20 KPa and infiltration time is 4-30 h.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for increasing the density of SiC / SiC ceramic matrix composite materials, belonging to the field of composite materials. Background technique [0002] Continuous fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites currently mainly include three categories: C / C, C / SiC, and SiC / SiC, which have low density, good mechanical properties, thermal and chemical stability, and radiation resistance. Aerospace, new energy, transportation and other fields have broad application prospects. Compared with C / C and C / SiC composite materials, SiC / SiC composite materials can be used for a long time in an oxidizing atmosphere because the reinforcement used is SiC fiber, and are mostly used in high-tech fields such as aerospace, such as Thermal protection parts entering the atmosphere, oxidation-resistant parts of aero-engines, etc. However, during the use of composite materials, the porosity of the material directly determines the various propert...
