Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of solid rocket engines, and in particular to an expansion section of a solid rocket engine and a molding method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The expansion section is a key component in the rocket engine nozzle to improve the energy conversion efficiency. During the operation of the solid engine, the nozzle diffusion section needs to provide a stable aerodynamic interface under the scouring effect of the high-temperature and high-condensed phase component airflow to ensure the thrust conversion efficiency of the solid engine; the expansion section needs to withstand the combined effects of high temperature, ablation and mechanical loads;
[0003] With the development of solid rocket engine technology, diversified technical requirements have been put forward for nozzle expansion section technology. Since the insulation layer of the diffusion section is generally composed of a carbon layer and a high silicon oxide layer, or a single carbon layer, the main function of the carbon layer is to resist ablation, and the main function of the high silicon oxide layer is to insulate, the resin-based expansion section has the advantages of high reliability, short production cycle and low cost. Therefore, it is widely used in high-performance solid rocket engines at home and abroad.
[0004] However, the traditional winding method involves first winding the carbon layer, then winding the high-silicon oxide layer after one machining process, or first winding the carbon layer, then winding the high-silicon oxide layer after one machining process after pre-curing. This results in the problem of waste of carbon cloth tape / phenolic resin material layers and weak interface bonding between the carbon layer and the high-silicon oxide layer. The interlayer shear strength is less than 10 MPa, resulting in delamination problems. The performance requirements of the expansion section when subjected to high temperature, ablation and mechanical loads cannot be met.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design an expansion section forming method that improves the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0070] During the high-silica layer winding process, high-silica tapes / phenolic resin material layers of different widths are set in different areas of the winding method and path to ensure the coverage and structural strength of the high-silica layer at different parts of the expansion section, so that it and the carbon layer together form a complete insulation layer shape to meet the requirements of thermal insulation and anti-ablation performance;
[0071] Among them, the nozzle expansion section has an insulating layer formed by integrally winding and curing a carbon layer and a high-silicon oxide layer, wherein the interface bonding strength between the carbon layer and the high-silicon oxide layer is high, and the thickness of the carbon layer is guaranteed by the winding program, and no pre-curing or carbon layer machining is required; the composite winding of the carbon layer and the high-silicon oxide layer is realized on the straight cone section of the core mold, the carbon layer is wound in a variable thickness manner, and the high-silicon oxide layer is wound in a constant thickness manner in cooperation with the carbon layer, so as to jointly meet the performance requirements of the expansion section when subjected to high temperature, ablation and mechanical loads; wherein, during the carbon layer winding process, the winding path of the carbon cloth tape / phenolic resin material layer is precisely controlled by the carbon layer winding program during the entire process to ensure that the initial forming of the carbon layer meets expectations, and when leveling the trapezoidal area II of the straight section of the core mold, the semi-overlapping method makes the carbon cloth tape / phenolic resin material layer fit closely to the surface of the core mold to reduce gaps and unevenness.
[0072] Among them, a high-silicon layer climbing program is set in the high-silicon layer winding program, and the program feed F of each small section of the high-silicon layer is: the axial length of the core mold cone section is evenly divided, F = high-silicon cloth tape / phenolic resin material layer thickness / sinα; specifically, in the high-silicon layer winding step, the high-silicon winding program of the climbing section is set as: program feed F = high-silicon cloth tape / phenolic resin material layer thickness / sinα; based on the program feed F of each small section of the high-silicon layer, the axial and radial coordinate changes of the GC section are obtained;

[0078] It should be noted that the parameters such as the heating rate, pressure increase rate, holding time and temperature in the curing step are set to ensure that the resin in the prepreg tape flows evenly and is fully cured during the curing process, avoiding the generation of bubbles, excessive internal stress, material cracking or deformation, and improving the density, mechanical properties, heat resistance and dimensional stability of the composite material. Among them, the machining step is carried out after curing, cooling and demolding, and is used to accurately adjust the size of the expansion section to achieve the final size required by the product, ensuring that the dimensional accuracy and performance of the product meet the design requirements;
