Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of thermal protection materials, and particularly relates to a reusable, high-strength and tough in-situ ceramized composite material, a preparation method thereof and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Hypersonic aircraft are a type of reusable hypersonic vehicle with a speed greater than 5 Mach (Ma) that can maneuver in the near space. When the flight speed reaches 6 Ma, the temperature of large areas such as the windward surface can reach 1200 °C. Without appropriate thermal protection measures, excessive aerodynamic heating will endanger the normal operation of the internal components of the hypersonic aircraft and seriously affect the flight service safety. Thermal protection materials are a key type of material used to cope with aerodynamic heating. Hypersonic aircraft require thermal protection materials to meet requirements such as high temperature resistance, ablation resistance, reusability, high-efficiency heat insulation, high reliability, easy replacement / repair, and low cost.

[0003] Traditional reusable large-area thermal protection materials mainly include rigid ceramic heat shields, metal cover plate thermal protection systems, and ceramic cover plate thermal protection systems. Rigid ceramic heat shields are a typical representative of the first-generation reusable large-area thermal protection materials, having advantages such as low density, good temperature resistance and heat insulation properties. However, they have disadvantages such as brittleness, poor damage resistance, high-temperature shrinkage, easy moisture absorption, and difficult repair. After one service, a large number of replacements are required, resulting in high maintenance costs, large assembly workloads, and long replacement cycles. Metal cover plate thermal protection systems are representatives of the second-generation reusable large-area thermal protection materials. Patent CN

[0004] 101722687A discloses a metal alloy cover plate for a hypersonic vehicle thermal protection system, and its structure includes a honeycomb body, an upper plate, a lower plate, a phase change material, and a housing. However, the use temperature of the metal alloy cover plate is only 600 - 1000 °C. At higher temperatures, the metal alloy cover plate will gradually oxidize and produce irreversible deformation. Therefore, it cannot meet the large-area thermal protection requirements of hypersonic aircraft at 1200 °C. Ceramic cover plate thermal protection systems are representatives of the third-generation reusable large-area thermal protection materials. Patent CN 109367758 B discloses a thermal protection component and a thermal protection system, and its structure includes a ceramic matrix composite material cover plate with an antioxidant coating on the surface, a cover plate support, and a heat insulation layer, which can withstand a high temperature of 1700 °C. However, the preparation cycle of its ceramic matrix composite material cover plate is long and the cost is high. Moreover, the overall structure is complex and the assembly difficulty is large. Therefore, the ceramic cover plate thermal protection system is not suitable for use as a reusable thermal protection material for large areas such as the windward surface of hypersonic aircraft.

[0005] Fiber-reinforced phenolic resin composites have significant advantages such as simple molding process, short preparation cycle, and low cost. They are typical representatives of disposable large-area thermal protection materials and can also be reused a limited number of times at relatively low temperatures. Patent CN117866440A discloses a nano-porous hybrid resin-based thermal insulation and protection material that can be reused a limited number of times and its preparation method. It prepares the nano-porous hybrid resin-based thermal insulation and protection material through a combined process of sol preparation, sol perfusion, reaction gelation, aging, and drying. However, due to the severe oxidation of the pyrolytic carbon of phenolic resin at high temperatures, it can only meet the thermal protection requirements of being reused 10 times at 1000 °C for 1000 s. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a reusable, high-strength and tough in-situ ceramized composite material, its preparation method and application. The obtained composite material can achieve the ability to be reused 20 - 50 times under the harsh working conditions of serving at a high temperature of 1200 °C for 30 min, and has important application prospects.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] Provide a reusable, high-strength and tough in-situ ceramized composite material, which is prepared by stitching multiple layers of in-situ ceramized prepregs with ceramic fiber sutures and then curing and molding; wherein:

[0009] The multiple layers of in-situ ceramized prepregs are obtained by impregnating ceramic fiber cloth with in-situ ceramizing resin;

[0010] The in-situ ceramizing resin includes heat-resistant phenolic resin and in-situ ceramizing functional components;

[0011] The in-situ ceramizing functional components include MAX-phase ceramic micro-powders and ceramic whiskers, and the mass ratio of MAX-phase ceramic micro-powders to ceramic whiskers is 3 - 6:1.

[0012] According to the above scheme, the MAX-phase ceramic micro-powder is a self-healing functional element, which is Ta 3 AlC 2 、Ti 3 AlC 2 、Cr 2 TiAlC 2 、Ti 2 AlC、Cr 2 AlC、Ta 2 AlC、Nb 2 AlC、V 2 AlC and Ti 2A combination of one or more of AlN; the ceramic whiskers are toughening functional elements, which are a combination of one or more of silicon carbide, potassium titanate, alumina, and aluminum borate.

[0013] According to the above solution, the heat-resistant phenolic resin is a combination of one or more of boron-modified phenolic resin, silicon-modified phenolic resin, titanium-modified phenolic resin, zirconium-modified phenolic resin, and molybdenum-modified phenolic resin.

[0014] According to the above solution, in the in-situ ceramized resin, by mass, it is: 100 parts of heat-resistant phenolic resin and 50 - 200 parts of in-situ ceramization functional components.

[0015] According to the above solution, the ceramic fiber cloth is a combination of one or more of mullite fiber, alumina fiber, silicon carbide fiber, and silicon nitride fiber.

[0016] According to the above solution, the ceramic fiber suture is a combination of one or more of quartz fiber suture, mullite fiber suture, alumina fiber suture, silicon carbide fiber suture, and silicon nitride fiber suture.

[0017] According to the above solution, the number of layers is 5 - 50 layers.

[0018] According to the above solution, the reusable in-situ ceramized thermal protection composite material can be reused 20 - 50 times under the harsh working conditions of high temperature of 1200 °C and long-term service of 30 min.

[0019] Provide a preparation method of the above reusable and high-strength and tough in-situ ceramized composite material, including the following steps:

[0020] 1) Disperse the in-situ ceramization functional components in the heat-resistant phenolic resin to obtain in-situ ceramized resin; wherein, the in-situ ceramization functional components include MAX phase ceramic micropowder and ceramic whiskers;

[0021] 2) Impregnate the ceramic fiber cloth with the in-situ ceramized resin obtained in step 1), and obtain in-situ ceramized prepreg after drying;

[0022] 3) Sew multiple layers of the in-situ ceramized prepreg obtained in step 2) with ceramic fiber sutures into an integrated in-situ ceramized prepreg, and cure and mold to obtain a reusable and high-strength and tough in-situ ceramized composite material.

[0023] The in-situ ceramization functional components are a composite of self-healing functional elements and toughening functional elements. These components can undergo a ceramization reaction with oxygen and pyrolytic carbon at high temperature, playing the roles of consuming oxygen, isolating oxygen, self-healing, reaction carbon fixation, and synergistic strengthening and toughening.

[0024] According to the above solution, in step 2), the drying process is as follows: drying at 70 - 90 °C for 3 - 5 h to remove the solvent.

[0025] According to the above solution, in step 3), the number of layers is 5 - 50 layers.

[0026] According to the above solution, in step 3), gradient thermal curing process is adopted for curing. Preferably, the gradient thermal curing process is specifically: pre - curing at 100 - 130 °C for 0.5 - 1 h, curing at 150 - 170 °C for 2 - 5 h, and post - curing at 180 - 220 °C for 0.5 - 1.5 h.

[0027] Provide an application of the above reusable, high - strength and tough in - situ ceramized composite material as a thermal protection material in hypersonic aircraft.

[0028] The present invention provides a preparation method of a reusable, high - strength and tough in - situ ceramized composite material, using ceramic fiber cloth with excellent heat resistance as the reinforcement, MAX - phase ceramic micro - powder as the self - healing functional element, and ceramic whiskers as the toughening functional element. It can not only play their respective roles of reinforcement, in - situ oxidation - induced self - healing, and toughening, but also achieve multi - scale synergistic reinforcement and toughening effects. On the one hand, MAX - phase ceramic micro - powder can undergo in - situ ceramization reactions such as oxidation and carbothermal reduction with oxygen and pyrolytic carbon, playing the role of in - situ oxidation - induced self - healing and protecting pyrolytic carbon from being severely oxidized. In addition, because ceramic whiskers can bridge defects, MAX - phase ceramic micro - powder can disperse macroscopic stress, and ceramic fiber cloth can bear the main stress, the three composites can construct a "sub - micron → micron → macroscopic" cascade load transfer chain to achieve cross - scale stress transfer effect. And, ceramic whiskers can absorb energy through pulling out and fracture, MAX - phase ceramic micro - powder can dissipate energy through interface slip, and ceramic fiber cloth can delay failure through delamination and fracture. The three composites can achieve multi - level energy dissipation from the molecular level to the macroscopic level to achieve multi - level toughening effect. And, ceramic whiskers can anchor the self - healing functional element and its oxidation products, and the oxidation products of the self - healing functional element can bond ceramic whiskers and pyrolytic carbon, thereby in - situ constructing a thermal protection barrier integrating ceramic whiskers, pyrolytic carbon, self - healing functional element and its oxidation products, greatly improving the shape - holding property of the material. Moreover, by stitching multiple layers of in - situ ceramized prepregs into an integrated in - situ ceramized prepreg and then curing and molding, the stitching reinforcement effect can be exerted to further improve the strength and shape - holding property of the material. Therefore, this material can be reused 20 - 50 times under the harsh working conditions of 1200 °C high temperature and 30 min long - term service. In addition, this material has a simpler forming process, shorter preparation cycle and lower cost than the ceramic cover - type thermal protection system, and is suitable for use as a reusable thermal protection material for large - area regions such as the windward side of hypersonic aircraft.

[0029] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0030] 1. The present invention provides a reusable, high-strength and tough in-situ ceramized composite material, which uses a ceramic fiber cloth with excellent heat resistance as the reinforcement, MAX-phase ceramic micropowder as the self-healing functional element, and ceramic whiskers as the toughening functional element. The synergistic combination of the three plays a multi-scale synergistic strengthening and toughening role, and also greatly improves the formability of the material. Then, the multi-layer in-situ ceramized prepregs are stitched into an integral body by ceramic fiber sutures and then cured and formed, which can exert the suture reinforcement effect and further improve the strength and formability of the material. The obtained composite material can be reused 20 - 50 times under the harsh working conditions of 1200 °C high temperature and 30 min long-term service, and has important application prospects.
