Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of coatings, and in particular to an external heat-resistant coating for a quick-drying solid rocket engine and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, the country's demand for solid rocket engines is increasing day by day. The propellant charging plants are constantly under the rapidly increasing pressure of engine propellant charging, and the production process has put forward diverse, fast, efficient and high-quality spraying requirements for external heat protection materials.

[0003] The production of the charging plant starts with the welded engine casing entering the assembly line, and then goes through painting and assembly. The finished engine casing comes off the assembly line as a finished product. During the painting and assembly process, bumps and collisions are inevitable, and the coating will crack and peel off locally, exposing the sheet metal. To repair and restore the bumped parts, it is necessary to apply a layer of external heat protection on the engine casing. Although the existing external heat protection has qualified thermal performance, it cannot solve the problems of good bonding with composite materials and long curing cycle. When applying the external heat protection coating, it is still necessary to apply a topcoat, which increases the risk of interface debonding.

[0004] CN115028987A discloses a sprayable polyurethane ablation-resistant material formula, preparation method and application. The formula can be directly used to prepare the thermal insulation layer of a solid rocket engine by a sprayer, solving the problem of debonding caused by the weak interface bonding strength (steel shell) of the solid engine ablation-resistant material, and realizing the sprayable molding of the ablation-resistant material. However, if it is used for the outer heat-resistant coating (composite material shell) for a solid rocket engine, there are problems such as insufficient bonding strength, easy debonding, and fish-scale pattern phenomenon caused by the small atomization surface of the spray gun during the construction process, which forces the performance of the spray material to decline and does not meet the index requirements.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome at least one of the defects of the above-mentioned prior art and to provide a solid rocket engine casing external heat protection and a preparation method thereof which has good bonding performance with steel interface and composite material interface and can be quickly cured in room temperature environment. Summary of the invention

[0006] The invention provides an external heat-resistant coating for a quick-drying solid rocket engine and a preparation method thereof. The coating can achieve good adhesion with a steel interface or a composite material interface and can also be quickly cured in a room temperature environment.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is to provide an external heat-resistant coating for a quick-drying solid rocket engine, comprising component A and component B, which are calculated by weight. Component A contains 40-60 parts of isocyanate resin, 10-20 parts of high temperature resistant filler, 5-8 parts of modified phenolic resin and 0.5-1 part of anti-settling agent; Component B contains 50-60 parts of amino-terminated polyether, 15-20 parts of chain extender, 10-20 parts of high temperature resistant filler, 5-8 parts of modified phenolic resin and 0.5-1 part of anti-settling agent.

[0008] Optionally, the isocyanate resin is one or more of aromatic isocyanate, aliphatic isocyanate and cycloaliphatic isocyanate.

[0009] Optionally, the amino-terminated polyether is one or more of polyethylene oxide diamine, polypropylene oxide diamine, and polypropylene oxide triamine. Optionally, the high temperature resistant filler is one or more of iron oxide, talc, mica, and silicon dioxide; and the average particle size of the high temperature resistant filler is 200 μm to 400 μm.

[0010] Optionally, the chain extender is one or more of ethylenediamine, triethylenetetramine, ethanolamine, and diethanolamine.

[0011] Optionally, the anti-settling agent is one or more of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, polyvinyl alcohol, and castor oil derivatives.

[0012] Optionally, the modified phenolic resin uses thermoplastic phenolic resin as raw material, and NaOH solution and calcium chloride solution are added in sequence to react to obtain the modified phenolic resin. Specifically, the phenolic resin is first dispersed by adding water, and then the NaOH solution is added to react at 40-60° C. for 1-2 hours; after cooling, CaCl2 is added to mix, and then centrifugal filtration is performed to obtain the modified phenolic resin.

[0013] The present invention also relates to a method for preparing the outer heat-resistant coating, comprising the following steps: S1. Prepare component A and component B according to the ratio respectively; S2. Mix component A and component B and place them in a spraying device. Control the spraying pressure to 1500psi~2000psi, the spraying slurry temperature to 50℃~60℃, the spray gun nozzle diameter to 0.3mm~0.5mm, perform spraying, and finally solidify and shape.

[0014] Optionally, the curing molding temperature is 25°C~30°C, and the curing time is 48h~72h.

[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The external heat shield prepared by spraying technology has the advantages of high interface bonding strength, high production efficiency and high dimensional accuracy. It can realize the continuous spraying production of solid engine external heat shield and improve the quality stability and reliability of the insulation layer.

[0016] 2. The external heat protection prepared by spraying technology has the advantages of fast surface drying and smooth surface. It can realize direct transportation and assembly after spraying of solid engine external heat protection, thus improving the production efficiency of engine external heat protection.

[0017] 3. The present invention uses modified phenolic resin as a solid phase filler and introduces ions to increase the bonding performance between the material and the steel interface and the composite material interface; and by adding modified phenolic resin, the catalytic polyurea reaction rate is accelerated and the spray molding efficiency is improved; in addition, the modified phenolic resin has very little effect on the viscosity of the slurry system, which is more conducive to spray construction.
