Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of anti-corrosion materials and preparation technology for metal tubes, specifically relating to a method for preparing an oxidation-resistant and corrosion-resistant insulating sheath for an ion flame detector metal tube. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, ion flame detectors are crucial components of aerospace engines. They detect the concentration of ions produced by the flame to determine flame characteristics and thus monitor engine operation. Currently, there are many types of ion flame detectors in use, but their key components are essentially the same, including a sheath, probe, center electrode, and press-fitted ceramic ring. The sheath is one of the most important components, its main function being to protect the internal components of the ion flame detector, reduce the influence of the external environment, minimize interference, and improve detection accuracy. In addition, the sheath should also have heat insulation and dustproof functions, helping to ensure the normal operation of the ion flame detector and extend its service life. Therefore, improving the relevant performance of the sheath is key to improving the reliability of aerospace engines.

[0003] During the operation of aerospace engines, the presence of aviation oil creates a highly corrosive internal environment. Furthermore, the continuous combustion process results in a high-temperature oxidizing reaction environment inside the engine. The ion flame detector is located inside the engine, and its sheathing material needs to possess high resistance to high-temperature oxidation and corrosion. In addition, to prevent electrical short circuits and ensure safe operation, the sheathing material also needs to have good insulation properties.

[0004] Currently, the most widely used cladding materials are high-temperature alloys. However, high-temperature alloys have high density and are prone to oxidation, both of which affect the performance of the cladding materials. In contrast, although ceramic materials have good oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and insulation properties, their toughness is relatively low. Therefore, neither high-temperature alloys nor pure ceramic materials are suitable for cladding fabrication. Thus, it is necessary to develop a method for preparing an oxidation-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and insulating cladding for the metal tube of an ion flame detector to meet the multiple requirements of oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, insulation, and high toughness for ion flame detector cladding.

[0005] Chinese patent application CN110159842A discloses a multi-layer composite fuel pipe, comprising an outermost wear-resistant layer and at least one barrier layer, with an adhesive layer between each layer. The barrier layer consists of two layers: an ethylene / vinyl alcohol copolymer and poly(m-phenylene adipamide), respectively. The innermost wear-resistant layer is modified to become a conductive layer, and its inner wall is coated with a conductive coating. The wear-resistant layer is made of polyamide. The adhesive layer is made of adhesive resin. The wear-resistant layer has a thickness of 0.1-0.5 mm, the adhesive layer has a thickness of 0.05-0.15 mm, the barrier layer has a thickness of 0.05-0.5 mm, and the total wall thickness is 1.1±0.15-1.6±0.2 mm. This technical solution tends to design a fuel pipe with good barrier and conductivity properties. Although the designed fuel pipe is resistant to chemical corrosion, its structure is relatively complex. The more complex the structure, the more difficult the manufacturing process and the greater the error. Summary of the Invention

The argon gas flow rate is then adjusted to 700 ml / min, and argon gas is introduced simultaneously. Trichloromethylsilane and hydrogen were used, with a flow rate of 0.4 g / min for trichloromethylsilane and 1500 ml / min for hydrogen. The mixture was kept at 1100 °C for 3.5 h while maintaining the flow of trichloromethylsilane, hydrogen, and argon. Then, the flow of trichloromethylsilane and hydrogen was stopped.

[0061] A photograph of the actual metal tube of the ion flame detector prepared in this embodiment, which is resistant to oxidation and corrosion and has an insulating sheath, is shown below. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the casing has been cut in half. Block samples, 5mm × 5mm in size, were cut from the casing of the particle-fiber reinforced alumina ceramic matrix composite for corrosion resistance testing. The blocks were immersed in aviation engine oil for 500 hours. After immersion, the blocks were removed, ultrasonically cleaned, and then dried in a muffle furnace at 100℃ for 12 hours. A scanning electron microscope image of the block sample not immersed in aviation engine oil is shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the scanning electron microscope image of the block sample after being soaked in aviation oil is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, comparison Figure 5 and Figure 6 It can be observed that the block sample did not show significant morphological changes after being soaked in aviation engine oil for 500 hours, indicating that the block sample has good corrosion resistance.
