Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aircraft brake devices, and in particular relates to a rapid preparation method of a carbon / carbon brake disc. Background Art
[0002] Carbon / carbon composite materials have a series of advantages such as low density, high specific strength, high specific heat capacity, and high temperature resistance. In addition, their excellent friction, wear and thermal physical properties make them the first choice for brake materials. Carbon / carbon brake discs can not only avoid the problems of easy deformation, cracking, unstable braking torque, short service life and large maintenance workload that occur during the use of traditional powder metallurgy steel brake discs, but also because carbon / carbon composite materials are chemically inert and are not corroded by acid mist and seawater, they can be used in various climatic conditions, greatly improving the safety and reliability of aircraft brake devices. After more than half a century of development, carbon / carbon composite materials have been used in almost all aircraft brake materials.
[0003] The main production process of carbon / carbon brake discs is chemical vapor infiltration (CVI), which is to place a preform made of carbon fiber in a CVI furnace, heat it to the required temperature, and introduce a gaseous carbon source gas. The carbon source gas undergoes a cracking reaction during diffusion into the preform to produce pyrolytic carbon and fills the pores of the preform to form a carbon / carbon composite material. This method can obtain a rough layer structure with good friction and wear performance, but there are problems such as long production cycle, low precursor utilization, high energy consumption, poor product consistency and stability, which greatly restricts its use in the brake field.
[0004] The patent application with publication number CN1291174C provides a method for preparing aircraft carbon brake discs by slit directional flow. By placing graphite gaskets between each preform, the carbon source gas is directed to flow through the equidistant slits between the preforms, thereby improving the effective utilization rate of the carbon source gas and preventing the formation of harmful substance carbon black. However, this method can only obtain directional flow of gas between preforms, and cannot achieve directional flow of gas inside the preform. It is difficult to make the carbon source gas penetrate evenly in the thickness direction and radial direction to ensure the overall uniformity of the carbon-carbon brake disc.
[0005] The patent with publication number CN111348931A provides a gas phase infiltration method for annular carbon / carbon composite materials. In the segmented deposition process, two material columns with different gas flow directions are used alternately to stack the preforms. By controlling and changing the direction of the gaseous precursor reaction gas flow, the uniformity of the density of the carbon / carbon brake disc in the radial direction is improved to a certain extent and the densification time is shortened. However, although the method provided by the patent can avoid the probability of carbon black generation by changing the gas flow direction and setting the direction of the pressure-adjusting air outlet, it cannot solve the problem of high surface density and low center density of the carbon / carbon brake disc in the thickness direction. Summary of the invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of long preparation cycle, poor radial uniformity of the brake disc and axial density gradient of the brake disc in the existing carbon / carbon brake disc preparation method, and to provide a rapid preparation method for a carbon / carbon brake disc.
