Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a kind of heat insulation material based on 3D printing ceramic framework and its preparation method. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of aerospace and energy field, there is an urgent need for efficient thermal insulation materials for high-temperature thermal insulation and extreme environment thermal protection. In this context, aerogel thermal insulation materials have been rapidly developed due to their excellent high-temperature stability, light weight, and high-temperature chemical stability. However, effective thermal insulation in extreme environments requires aerogel materials to have both high strength and low thermal conductivity. Existing ceramic particle aerogels composed of 0-dimensional ceramic particles and ceramic fiber aerogels composed of 1-dimensional fibers both have structural defects, such as the brittleness of ceramic particle aerogels and the low strength of ceramic fiber aerogels. Therefore, single-scale raw materials cannot meet the performance goals of high strength and low thermal conductivity, and there is an urgent need to develop new structural aerogel materials that provide both high strength and excellent thermal insulation performance for efficient thermal insulation in extreme environments. SUMMARY
[0003] The present application is to solve the technical problem that existing aerogel thermal insulation materials cannot have both high strength and low thermal conductivity, and to provide a kind of heat insulation composite material based on 3D printing ceramic framework and its preparation method.
[0004] The 3D printing ceramic framework-based thermal insulation composite material of the present application has two types, which are 3D printing ceramic framework in-situ grown mullite whisker composite material and 3D printing ceramic framework filled mullite fiber thermal insulation sheet composite material.
[0005] The preparation method of the 3D printing ceramic framework in-situ grown mullite whisker composite material is carried out according to the following steps:
[0006] I. Preparation of mixed sol: mix aluminum sol and silicon sol uniformly to obtain mixed sol; the molar ratio of aluminum element to silicon element in the mixed sol is 3:(1-1.2);
[0007] II. Immersion: place the 3D printing ceramic framework into a container, and pour the mixed sol prepared in step I into the container so that the 3D printing ceramic framework is completely immersed in the mixed sol;
[0008] III. Freezing and freeze-drying:
[0009] Place the container of step II into a freeze-drying machine, freeze to complete freezing at a temperature of -50℃ to -55℃, and then freeze-dry at a temperature of -50℃ to -55℃ and a vacuum degree of 50Pa to 55Pa for 72h to 75h to obtain a 3D ceramic framework / sol composite blank;
[0010] IV. Heat treatment:
[0011] Put the aluminum fluoride powder into the bottom of a crucible, and then put the 3D ceramic framework / sol composite blank of step three above the aluminum fluoride powder in the crucible, seal the crucible with a cover and put it into a muffle furnace, heat at 400-410 DEG C for 30-35 min in an air atmosphere, then heat to 1000-1100 DEG C and heat for 2-2.5 h, then cool to room temperature with the furnace, to obtain a 3D ceramic framework in-situ grown mullite whisker composite material;
[0012] The mass ratio of the 3D ceramic framework / sol composite blank to aluminum fluoride is 1:(1-1.1);
[0013] The preparation method of the 3D printed ceramic framework filled mullite fiber heat insulation sheet composite material is carried out according to the following steps:
[0014] I. Filling mullite fiber:
[0015] Disperse the chopped mullite fiber into a mixed solution of deionized water and silica sol, and stir uniformly to form a mixed slurry; wherein the addition amount of the chopped mullite fiber and the silica sol is 1-1.5% and 5-6% of the mass of the deionized water, respectively;
[0016] Put the 3D printed ceramic framework into the funnel of a vacuum filtration device, then pour the above-mentioned mixed slurry, connect the vacuum pump and start, adjust the vacuum degree to 0.06-0.065 MPa, after all the solution is filtered, the fiber is completely filled in the 3D printed ceramic framework, turn off the vacuum pump, to obtain the filled framework wet blank;
[0017] II. Freezing and freeze-drying:
[0018] Put the filled framework wet blank of step I into a freeze dryer, freeze to complete freezing at a temperature of -50 to -55 DEG C, then freeze-dry at a temperature of -45 to -50 DEG C and a vacuum degree of 30-100 Pa for 72-75 h, to obtain a 3D printed ceramic framework filled mullite fiber composite material.
[0019] The preparation method of the 3D printed ceramic framework is not limited in the present application, as long as the strength is high, preferably greater than 1 MPa.
[0020] Characteristics of the present application:
[0021] 3D printed ceramic framework in-situ grown with mullite whiskers composite: 3D printed ceramic framework can provide high strength while reducing weight compared to traditional ceramic particle aerogels. In-situ grown mullite whiskers fill the pores of the ceramic framework. Without damaging the original structure and performance of the ceramic framework, the nano-scale pore structure formed by the intercrossing of the whiskers also endows the framework with excellent high-temperature thermal insulation characteristics, thereby combining high strength and low thermal conductivity.
[0022] 3D printed ceramic framework filled with mullite fiber thermal insulation sheet composite: The thermal insulation sheet for preventing thermal runaway must have small thickness and high thermal insulation efficiency in high temperature and high pressure environment, which requires the thermal insulation sheet to have mechanical stability and thermal insulation. The 3D ceramic framework has higher strength than ceramic fiber materials, but the open large pore structure makes it not have thermal insulation performance. Therefore, the two are combined to take advantage of each other. The high-strength ceramic framework bears pressure and deformation, and the filled mullite fiber provides efficient fireproofing and thermal insulation, realizing the preparation of an emergency thermal runaway protection thermal insulation sheet with high strength and high thermal insulation.
[0023] Advantages of the present application:
[0024] 3D printed ceramic framework in-situ grown with mullite whiskers composite: The advantages of the process method are convenient and fast preparation of high-performance aerogel materials due to the advancement of 3D printed ceramic framework and the simple operation of in-situ grown mullite whiskers. The prepared 3D printed ceramic framework in-situ grown with mullite whiskers can have low density (can reach 0.3 g / cm 3 ), low high-temperature thermal conductivity (can reach 0.138 W / (m·K) at 1200℃, and high strength (can reach 1.9 MPa).
[0025] 3D printed ceramic framework filled with mullite fiber thermal insulation sheet composite: The process of the present application is simple and low in cost, and can prepare low density (0.2 g / cm 3 ), low high-temperature thermal conductivity (800℃ high-temperature thermal conductivity is 0.092 W / (m·K)), high strength (1.57 MPa), and efficient emergency thermal runaway protection (the cold-hot surface temperature difference is as high as 545℃ in the simulated 0.9 MPa high pressure and 685℃ high temperature test). The method of 3D printed ceramic framework filled with mullite fiber meets the standard for preventing thermal runaway. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
