Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of thermal insulation materials, and particularly relates to an organic-inorganic composite internal thermal insulation material for a solid rocket motor and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The internal thermal insulation structures of solid rocket motors, such as gas pipelines, nozzle converging sections, nozzle diverging sections, etc., need to withstand harsh conditions such as high-temperature and high-pressure gas ablation and long-term heating during service. The currently used internal thermal insulation materials mainly include superalloys, carbon fiber / phenolic molded composites, alloy liner-composite nested structures, etc. With the increase of the gas temperature and pressure of solid rocket motors, the following deficiencies of the existing internal thermal insulation materials are exposed during use: (1) Superalloys have a large density and a high thermal conductivity; (2) Carbon fiber / phenolic molded composites have insufficient ablation resistance and a relatively high thermal conductivity; (3) The nested structure has poor thermal matching, the combined interface is prone to failure, and the thermal conductivity is relatively high. Therefore, the development of an integrated internal thermal insulation material with low density-low thermal conductivity-ablative resistance is an urgent need in this field at present. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an organic-inorganic composite internal thermal insulation material for a solid rocket motor and a preparation method thereof.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions: A preparation method of an organic-inorganic composite internal thermal insulation material for a solid rocket motor, injecting an organic-inorganic hybrid phenolic resin into an inorganic fiber preform with a carbon fiber-quartz fiber gradient structure, adding a pore-forming solvent, and obtaining a porous composite material after curing, and performing surface sealing treatment on the porous composite material to prepare the organic-inorganic composite internal thermal insulation material.

[0005] The carbon fiber preform has excellent ablation resistance, but a relatively high thermal conductivity. While quartz fiber has a low thermal conductivity, but poor ablation resistance. Therefore, designing a carbon fiber-quartz fiber gradient structure can make the surface of the internal thermal insulation material have excellent ablation resistance, and at the same time show a relatively low thermal conductivity as a whole.

[0006] The organic-inorganic hybrid phenolic resin has excellent high-temperature resistance and a relatively high char residue rate compared with traditional phenolic resins, which is beneficial to improving the ablation resistance of the internal thermal insulation material. The added pore-forming solvent can volatilize during the resin curing process, making the resin form a porous structure, which is beneficial to reducing the thermal conductivity and density of the internal thermal insulation structure.

[0007] Preferably, the preparation method includes the following steps:

[0008] S1: Design the inorganic fiber preform into a carbon fiber-quartz fiber gradient structure;

[0009] S2: Select an organic-inorganic hybrid phenolic resin as the matrix raw material and add a pore-forming solvent;

[0010] S3: Inject the resin into the fiber preform through an alternating pressure-assisted RTM process, and cure the injected resin through an alternating temperature curing process to obtain a porous composite material;

[0011] S4: Perform a pore sealing treatment on the surface of the porous composite material through an alternating vacuum impregnation and alternating temperature curing process, thereby preparing an organic-inorganic composite internal thermal insulation material.

[0012] Preferably, the weaving forms of the carbon fiber-quartz fiber gradient structure include orthogonal three-directional, fine weaving and piercing, 2.5D weaving, and fabric / net tire laminated needle punching.

[0013] Preferably, from the side close to the engine gas to the side far from the engine gas, the volume percentage of the carbon fiber layer decreases, while the volume percentage of the quartz fiber layer increases.

[0014] Preferably, the carbon fiber-quartz fiber gradient structure is composed of a carbon fiber layer, an intermediate transition layer (containing both carbon fibers and quartz fibers), and a quartz fiber layer;

[0015] The volume percentage of the carbon fiber layer decreases in an equal-proportion gradient from 100% to 0% according to the thickness direction dimension. At the same time, the volume percentage of the quartz fiber layer increases in an equal-proportion gradient from 0% to 100% according to the thickness direction dimension, and the gradient of the decrease in the volume fraction of the carbon fiber layer is the same as the gradient of the increase in the volume fraction of the quartz fiber layer.

[0016] Preferably, the organic-inorganic hybrid phenolic resin includes an organosilicon hybrid phenolic resin, a polycarbosilane hybrid phenolic resin, and a boron hybrid phenolic resin.

[0017] Preferably, a pore-forming solvent is added to the organic-inorganic hybrid phenolic resin.

[0019] Preferably, the types of the pore-forming solvent include ethanol, isopropanol, cyclohexane, and ethylene glycol.

[0020] Preferably, inject the organic-inorganic hybrid phenolic resin into the inorganic fiber preform through an alternating pressure-assisted RTM process, and cure the injected organic-inorganic hybrid phenolic resin through an alternating temperature curing process.

[0021] By using a glue injection pressure that alternates within a certain range and frequency, the resin can be more evenly filled in the pores of the fiber preform, which is beneficial to improving the ablation resistance of the internal thermal insulation material. By using a curing temperature that alternates within a certain range and frequency, the resin can be cured more thoroughly, which is more beneficial to improving the ablation resistance of the internal thermal insulation material.

[0022] Further preferably, in the alternating pressure-assisted RTM process, the pressure inside the resin container is not a constant value but an alternating pressure. The container pressure is set to 0.3 - 1.2 MPa, the pressure alternating amplitude is 5% - 10% of the set container pressure value, and the alternating frequency is 0.1 - 0.5 Hz.

[0023] Further preferably, in the alternating temperature curing process, the temperature is not a constant value but an alternating temperature. The curing temperature is set to 85 - 130 °C, the alternating temperature amplitude is 2% - 5% of the set curing temperature value, the alternating frequency is 0.01 - 0.1 Hz, and the curing time is 24 - 36 h.

[0024] Preferably, the surface sealing treatment is carried out on the surface in contact with the gas by alternating vacuum impregnation and alternating temperature curing to obtain an organic-inorganic composite internal thermal insulation material.

[0025] Only carrying out the sealing treatment on the surface in contact with the gas flow can improve its ablation resistance without affecting the thermal conductivity and density of the overall material. Alternating pressure impregnation is more conducive to the sealing agent entering the surface of the porous composite material, thereby improving the ablation resistance of the internal thermal insulation material; adopting the alternating temperature curing process can make the sealing agent cure more thoroughly, which is conducive to improving the ablation resistance of the internal thermal insulation material.

[0026] Preferably, the surface sealing treatment steps include:

[0027] S1: Using a vacuum bag to seal the surface of the porous composite material that does not need to be sealed, only exposing the surface in contact with the gas, placing it in a closed container, and using the alternating vacuum impregnation process to immerse the sealing agent into the surface of the porous composite material;

[0028] S2: Using the alternating temperature curing process to cure the immersed sealing agent to obtain the organic-inorganic composite internal thermal insulation material.

[0029] Further preferably, the sealing agent is a solvent-free organic-inorganic hybrid phenolic resin (such as organosilicon hybrid phenolic resin, polycarbosilane hybrid phenolic resin, boron hybrid phenolic resin, etc.).

[0030] Further preferably, in the alternating vacuum impregnation process, the vacuum degree is not lower than -0.08 MPa, the vacuum alternating amplitude is 5 - 15% of the set vacuum value, the alternating frequency is 0.1 - 0.8 Hz, and the impregnation time is 6 - 12 h.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0034] 1. The present invention provides an organic-inorganic composite internal insulation material and its preparation method, which can solve the problem that traditional internal insulation materials cannot have both low density, low thermal conductivity, and resistance to gas ablation.

[0035] 2. Through the design of the carbon fiber - quartz fiber gradient structure, the present invention can endow the surface of the internal insulation material with excellent ablation resistance, while the overall material shows a relatively low thermal conductivity.

[0036] 3. By using the injection pressure that alternates within a certain amplitude and frequency, the resin can be more evenly filled in the pores of the fiber preform, which is beneficial to improving the ablation resistance of the internal insulation material. By using the curing temperature that alternates within a certain amplitude and frequency, the resin can be cured more fully, which is more conducive to improving the ablation resistance of the internal insulation material.

[0037] 4. The present invention only performs hole sealing treatment on the surface in contact with the gas flow, which can improve its ablation resistance without affecting the thermal conductivity and density of the overall material.

[0038] 5. Through alternating pressure impregnation, the present invention is more conducive to the entry of the hole sealing agent into the surface of the porous composite material, thereby improving the ablation resistance of the internal insulation material.
