Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a composite expansion section of a solid rocket nozzle and a forming method thereof, belonging to the technical field of composite expansion section forming. Background Art

[0002] The expansion section is a key component in the nozzle of a solid rocket engine to improve the energy conversion efficiency, and it has to withstand high temperature, high pressure and high gas flow erosion during the operation of the engine. The fiber-reinforced resin-based expansion section has the advantages of high reliability, short production cycle, low cost, etc., and is widely used in high-performance solid rocket engines at home and abroad. At present, the preparation methods of fiber-reinforced resin-based expansion sections at home and abroad mainly include tape overlapping winding, tape diagonal winding, petal laying and molding. Among them, for the expansion section with short working time and not serious ablation, high silica fiber-reinforced resin or carbon fiber-reinforced resin materials are generally used and formed by molding; for the expansion section with serious ablation conditions and harsh working conditions, a carbon fiber phenolic / high silica fiber phenolic composite structure is generally adopted, with carbon fiber phenolic as the ablation layer material and high silica phenolic as the heat insulation layer material. This structure has the dual functions of anti-ablative heat insulation, and its forming processes include chopped fiber composite molding (QJ2727A-2014 "Specification for Carbon Fiber / Phenolic - High Silica Fiber / Phenolic Composite Molding Products") and tape winding (GJB3402-98 Specification for Carbon Cloth / Phenolic - High Silica Cloth / Phenolic Composite Winding Products) two ways.

[0003] For QJ2727A-2014, the cost is relatively low, but the process is relatively complex and it needs to be formed by at least two or three moldings. Moreover, although the viscose fiber carbon fiber used has good processability, its ablation resistance is average. In practical use, the thickness needs to be increased to improve its reliability, which increases the negative mass of the engine; for GJB3402-98, the cost is high, and the product has good mechanical properties, but the tape winding process requires strict program design for tape winding, the curing process control pressure is smaller than that of molding, the density of the carbon layer is generally low, and the residual carbon rate of the barium phenolic resin used for the tape is low. There are wrinkle marks at the interface between the two materials, the consistency is poor, and the tape layer falls off at the end of the work.

[0004] In view of this phenomenon, in this case, a carbon fiber / phenolic - high silica cloth / phenolic composite structure is designed as the expansion section of the solid rocket engine nozzle to realize its application in the solid rocket engine nozzle. Summary of the Invention

[0039] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.

[0040] See Figure 1 , a composite expansion section of a solid rocket nozzle, characterized in that it includes:

[0041] An ablation layer 1, the ablation layer 1 includes a polyacrylonitrile carbon fiber / boron phenolic resin material layer, and is formed by premixing the acrylonitrile carbon fiber and the boron phenolic resin and molding by pressing;

[0042] A heat insulation layer 2, the heat insulation layer 2 includes a high silica cloth tape / boron phenolic resin material layer;

[0043] The heat insulation layer 2 is wound outside the ablation layer 1, and a multi-ring structure is formed at the connection interface between the ablation layer 1 and the heat insulation layer 2.

[0044] Specifically, during the operation of a solid rocket motor, the ablative layer 1 serves to resist ablation, withstand high temperatures, and the erosion of high-speed gas flows, ensuring the integrity and stability of the nozzle structure. The ablative layer 1 is made of a mixture of polyacrylonitrile carbon fiber and boron phenolic resin and is prepared by compression molding. This material combination has good ablation performance and mechanical properties. The main function of the thermal insulation layer 2 is to reduce the heat transfer to the interior of the nozzle, protecting the internal structure and components from the influence of high temperatures. The thermal insulation layer 2 is composed of a combination of high-silica cloth tape and boron phenolic resin and is wound around the outside of the ablative layer 1 to form a connecting interface with a multi-ring structure, which helps to improve the thermal protection effect of the nozzle while ensuring the stability and reliability of the structure;

[0045] Among them, polyacrylonitrile carbon fiber has extremely high tensile strength and modulus, can withstand large external forces, and at the same time, the fiber has a high thermal decomposition temperature and excellent high-temperature performance; boron phenolic resin has better heat resistance, instantaneous high-temperature resistance, heat-resistant oxidation performance, and neutron radiation protection and other excellent properties than ordinary phenolic resin. Due to the B-O bond energy being higher than the C-C bond energy, the heat resistance and ablation resistance of boron phenolic resin are much higher than those of ordinary phenolic resin. The B-O bond also has good flexibility. Therefore, the brittleness of boron phenolic resin is reduced and its mechanical properties are improved. The ablative layer 1 is made of a mixture of polyacrylonitrile carbon fiber and boron phenolic resin and is prepared by compression molding. This material combination has good ablation performance and mechanical properties.

[0046] The multi-ring structure includes a plurality of alternately continuous grooves 3 and protrusions 4 at the connection interface between the ablative layer 1 and the thermal insulation layer 2, which helps to enhance the connection strength and stability between the ablative layer 1 and the thermal insulation layer 2. At the same time, this structure helps to optimize the heat transfer path and improve the overall thermal insulation performance;

[0047] The interval between adjacent multi-ring structures is 1 to 3 times the width of the thermal insulation layer 2. The height of the multi-ring structure is 1.5 mm to 3 mm, and the width of the multi-ring structure is 1 / 8 to 1 / 10 of the height of the expansion section.

[0048] Among them, the height of the expansion section refers to Figure 1 the length in the oblique direction of the expansion section as shown, specifically the service length of the expansion section when the expansion section is provided on the solid rocket nozzle.

[0049] The thicknesses of the ablative layer 1 and the thermal insulation layer 2 are determined according to the actual working conditions of the expansion section. And according to the heat transfer path, the thickness of the ablative layer at the inlet part of the solid rocket nozzle is set to be gradually greater than the thickness of the ablative layer at the outlet part of the solid rocket nozzle.

[0050] The thickness of the ablative layer at the inlet part of the solid rocket nozzle is greater than the thickness of the ablative layer at the outlet of the solid rocket nozzle.

[0051] Specifically, the ablation layer 1 has a greater thickness at the inlet part of the solid rocket nozzle. This is to cope with the more intense high-temperature and high-speed gas flow erosion at the nozzle inlet. The thicker ablation layer 1 can provide better ablation resistance performance and a longer service life. In contrast, the ablation layer 1 has a smaller thickness at the outlet part of the solid rocket nozzle. This is because the gas flow velocity at the nozzle outlet is relatively low and the temperature is also relatively low, so there is no need for an overly thick ablation layer 1 to provide protection.

[0052] This application designs a nozzle expansion section of a high-performance solid rocket engine, with dual functions of ablation resistance and heat insulation. The linear ablation rate of the ablation layer 1 reaches 0.02 mm / s, which is at least 20% lower than the linear ablation rate of the composite molding or cloth tape composite winding structure. The bonding strength of the composite interface is not less than 10 MPa, and the cost is at least 50% lower than that of the cloth tape composite winding structure. Moreover, the interface size of the product is stable, with good consistency. The peak height of the composite interface fold does not exceed 2 mm, and the structural connection is safe and reliable. It has passed the ground test application and the effect is perfect.

[0053] Among them, the peak height of the composite interface fold refers to the maximum deviation of the wave peak from the average plane in the interface fold phenomenon caused by factors such as material heating, stress concentration, or other factors in the nozzle expansion section of the solid rocket engine. This parameter can reflect the stability and performance of the nozzle expansion section interface.

[0054] Physical properties such as the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio of the material will affect its response to stress and temperature changes. Factors such as the structural design of the nozzle, the connection method, and the temperature control and pressure control during the manufacturing process will all have an impact on the peak height of the interface fold.

[0055] A forming method for a composite expansion section of a solid rocket nozzle, characterized by comprising:

[0056] S1: Preparation of the ablation layer. Weigh a certain amount of polyacrylonitrile carbon fiber and boron phenolic resin for pretreatment to obtain a polyacrylonitrile carbon fiber / boron phenolic resin premix, and then use a compression molding die for molding and perform heat preservation treatment;

[0057] Among them, the structure of the compression molding die is as Figure 2As shown in the figure, the compression molding die includes a male die 5, a female die 6 and a top plate 7 which are assembled with each other. The female die 6 is a die with a cavity, and the shape of this cavity is the same as that of the final product, i.e., the expansion section. During the molding process, the material to be processed is placed in the cavity of the female die 6. The male die 5 is a solid die, and its outer shape is opposite to the cavity of the female die 6, that is, corresponding to the shape of the final product. During the molding process, the male die 5 presses into the material in the female die 6, and the material is deformed by applying force to obtain the required product shape. The top plate 7 is an important component in the compression molding die, located at the top of the die, used to provide support and positioning during the pressing process, and help to push out the finished product during demolding.

[0058] S2: After the heat preservation is completed, it is naturally cooled to room temperature and demolded. After demolding, a polyacrylonitrile carbon fiber / boron phenolic resin blank is obtained. The demolded polyacrylonitrile carbon fiber / boron phenolic resin blank is cleaned, the excess flash is removed, and after checking that the appearance is intact, it is loaded into the winding mandrel;

[0062] S6: After curing is completed, demolding inspection is carried out and records are made.

[0063] The preparation of the polyacrylonitrile carbon fiber / boron phenolic resin premix includes the following steps:

[0066] Step 3: The polyacrylonitrile carbon fiber and the dissolved boron phenolic resin are mixed in proportion, sealed and left standing for more than 24 h;

[0067] Step 4: The impregnated premix is loosened and then left standing for more than 24 h at a standing temperature of 15 °C to 25 °C and a humidity of less than or equal to 45%;

[0068] Step Five: The air-dried premix is dried in an oven at a drying temperature of 80°C to 85°C for a drying time of 5 h or more, and then reserved for use after drying.

[0069] According to the mass ratio, the ratio of the polyacrylonitrile carbon fiber to the boron phenolic resin is 57:43.

[0070] The ablation layer 1 further includes a filler;

[0071] According to the mass ratio, the ratio of the polyacrylonitrile carbon fiber, the boron phenolic resin and the filler is 55:42:3.

[0072] Among them, the filler can be selected from inorganic fillers such as silica powder or alumina, or nano-fillers such as nano-silica or carbon nanotubes to further enhance or adjust the performance of the composite material.

[0073] Before molding by using a compression molding die, it further includes: preheating the compression molding die at a preheating temperature of 100°C ± 5°C for a preheating time of 1 h to 3 h;
