Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of C / C composite material anti-ablation, and in particular relates to a substrate coating system and method for protecting C / C composite materials. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the continuous pursuit of high thrust-to-weight ratios in aircraft engines has placed higher demands on the performance of engine hot-end components. The surface temperatures of the hot-end components of next-generation high-thrust-to-weight engines will reach over 1700°C, and currently available alloys are unable to withstand such high temperatures. This demanding service environment requires ultra-high-temperature structural materials with high-temperature resistance, oxidation and ablation resistance, excellent mechanical properties, and low density.

[0003] Carbon / carbon (C / C) composites are carbon-based composites reinforced with carbon fibers. They feature low density, high specific strength and modulus, and mechanical properties that increase with increasing temperature. They are considered one of the most ideal thermal structural materials and are widely used in aerospace engine hot-end components. However, C / C composites are highly oxidatively sensitive, leading to oxidative failure in high-temperature (>500°C) aerobic environments, limiting their application.

[0004] Currently, the main technical approaches to improving the high-temperature oxidation and ablation resistance of C / C composites include matrix modification and coating protection. Matrix modification significantly enhances the composite's oxidation and ablation resistance by introducing ultra-high-temperature ceramic components with high melting points and excellent oxidation resistance, such as carbides (HfC, ZrC, TaC, TiC, etc.) and borides (HfB2, ZrB2, TaB2, TiB2, etc.). Coating protection enhances the C / C composite's oxidation and ablation resistance by depositing a coating with excellent ablation resistance on the surface of the composite matrix. This coating isolates the matrix from direct contact between oxygen and flame, inhibiting carbon oxidation reactions, and ultimately improving the composite's oxidation and ablation resistance.

[0005] Prior art researchers have attempted to combine matrix modification and protective coatings to protect C / C composites from high-temperature oxidation and ablation. However, inadequate compositional matching between the modified matrix and the protective coating, particularly when their physical properties, such as thermal expansion coefficients, differ significantly, can lead to reduced coating bond strength, cracking, and even flaking, severely impacting the effectiveness of high-temperature oxidation and ablation protection.

[0006] Furthermore, existing research typically uses a static oxidizing environment at 1700°C as the testing condition, whereas the actual service environment for aircraft engine hot-end components is a dynamic gas-wash environment at 1700°C. Currently, there is limited systematic research on this dynamic environment, and the duration of dynamic gas-wash tests in published literature is typically only around 100 seconds, far below the actual service life requirements for aircraft engine hot-end components and unable to truly reflect the long-term service performance of the material in this environment. Summary of the Invention

Problems such as cracking and peeling of the coating caused by thermal mismatch between the coating and the modified substrate are solved; in addition, the high-temperature gas-phase siliconization process adopted in the present invention can convert silicon blocks into silicon vapor during the reaction process. Thanks to its strong penetrability, it can easily penetrate the porous pre-coating layer to reach the surface of the modified substrate and react with it. At the same time, the amorphous carbon layer on the outside of the polymer-converted ceramic powder particles introduced into the pre-coating layer can also react in situ with gaseous silicon.

According to relevant experimental results, the prepared material exhibits excellent long-term anti-oxidation and ablation performance under a dynamic gas scouring environment at 1700°C, which meets the actual service requirements of the hot-end components of aircraft engines and has good application prospects.

[0039] 2) 30 wt% SiC and 10 wt% phenolic resin were dissolved in 60 wt% anhydrous ethanol, and slurry A was obtained after thorough stirring and ultrasonication; 3) Immerse the C / C-SiC-TiC composite matrix in slurry A and let it stand for 5 seconds. Take it out and dry it. Repeat this process 4 times.

[0040] 4) 15 wt% SiC and 35 wt% single-source polymer precursor PSZ-Zr-Ti powder were dissolved in 50 wt% anhydrous ethanol, and slurry B was obtained after sufficient stirring and ultrasonication; 5) The C / C-SiC-TiC composite substrate coated with slurry A and dried was immersed in slurry B and allowed to stand for 5 seconds. After removal, it was dried and the process was repeated 4 times.

[0041] 6) The coated sample was cured at 300°C for 2 hours, and then carbonized at 900°C under argon atmosphere for 2 hours to obtain a pre-coated sample.

[0042] 7) The C / C-SiC-TiC composite material with a pre-coating layer was placed on a porous graphite plate and then placed in a graphite crucible with a certain amount of silicon blocks at the bottom. The temperature was then raised to 1850°C under the protection of an argon atmosphere and kept at this temperature for 15 minutes for vapor phase siliconization treatment. Thus, an anti-oxidation and ablation coating was obtained on the surface of the C / C composite material.

[0043] Step 4: Oxyacetylene flame ablation test sample: At a heat flux density of 5MW / m 2 The coating sample was ablated under a plasma flame for 1200 seconds, with a linear ablation rate of 0.905 μm / s. The oxygen flow rate was 14.4 L / s, the acetylene flow rate was 10 L / s, and the vertical distance between the flame spray gun nozzle and the sample surface was 31 mm. The surface temperature of the coating sample exceeded 1700°C.

[0044] Example 3 A method for preparing a matrix coating system for protecting C / C composite materials comprises the following steps: Step 1: Prepare the precursor 1) First, add the magnet and an appropriate amount of zeolite to a three-necked flask. Then, weigh 40g of polycarbosilane (PCS) into the three-necked flask, and continue to add 10g of tetrabutyl titanate (TBT). Then, add 50g of xylene to the three-necked flask to obtain a mixed solution. Then, apply vacuum grease to all interfaces of the Schlenk apparatus to ensure good airtightness after the device is connected. 2) Next, open the vacuum pump valve to remove air and residual water vapor from the device. When the vacuum gauge shows a vacuum of -0.9 MPa, turn off the vacuum pump and wait for 5 minutes to maintain pressure. If the vacuum pump reading does not change during this period, the device is considered airtight and can proceed to the next step. At this time, slowly turn the valve on the double-row pipe in the Schlenk device to fill with argon gas for the first gas purge. Repeat the above vacuum pumping and argon filling steps three times to ensure that the device is free of water and oxygen. 3) Increase the argon flow rate and turn on the magnetic stirrer at the bottom of the three-necked flask to heat and stir. The heating and stirring temperature is 60°C and the reaction time is 3 hours. 4) After heating and stirring, cool to room temperature to obtain a single-source polymer precursor PCS-Ti solution; 5) Replace the polymer precursor solution in 1) with: 30g polysilazane PSZ, 60g zirconium acetylacetonate, and 10g tetrabutyl titanate TBT, 100g xylene as solvent, reaction temperature 80°C, and repeat steps 1) to 4); 6) After heating and stirring, lower the temperature of the heating plate at the bottom of the three-necked flask to 60°C and maintain it there. Simultaneously, allow condensed water to cool the condenser connected to the top of the flask. Slowly open the vacuum pump valve to remove the remaining solvent in the flask. 7) The solvent-removed reactants were removed from the three-necked flask and placed in a tube furnace for crosslinking and curing at 300°C for 2 hours in an argon atmosphere. The cured material was collected to obtain the single-source polymer precursor PSZ-Zr-Ti powder. Step 2: Precursor impregnation and cracking matrix modification: 1) The density is 1.30g / cm 3 The porous low-density C / C composite material was processed into a round cake sample with a size of 28 mm × 5 mm, and then ultrasonically cleaned with deionized water and dried in an electric blast drying oven at a temperature of 80 ° C to obtain the matrix modification. 2) Immersing the low-density C / C composite material in the single-source polymer precursor PCS-Ti solution obtained in step 1, placing the composite material in a vacuum drying oven, evacuating to -0.1 MPa, and maintaining the pressure for 30 minutes, taking out the C / C composite material impregnated with the precursor, removing excess solution from the surface of the material, and drying the composite material in an oven at 80°C. Repeat the immersion-drying cycle three times to obtain a dried C / C composite material impregnated with the precursor; 3) The dried precursor-impregnated C / C composite material was tightly wrapped with graphite paper and placed in the constant temperature zone of a high-temperature tube furnace. Using Ar as a protective gas, the temperature was raised to 1600°C at a rate of 5°C / min, maintained at that temperature for 2 hours, and then cooled to room temperature at a rate of 3°C / min to achieve the introduction of polymer-converted ceramics into the material. 4) Repeat the impregnation-drying-high temperature heat treatment 12 times to obtain the C / C-SiC-TiC composite material; Step 3: Slurry coating combined with high temperature vapor phase siliconization process to prepare the coating: 1) The C / C-SiC-TiC composite material sample modified by the matrix in step 2 was ultrasonically cleaned with deionized water and dried in an electric heated blast drying oven at a temperature of 90° C. before being used for subsequent coating preparation.

[0045] 2) 30 wt% SiC and 10 wt% phenolic resin were dissolved in 60 wt% anhydrous ethanol, and slurry A was obtained after thorough stirring and ultrasonication; 3) Immerse the C / C-SiC-TiC composite matrix in slurry A and let it stand for 5 seconds. Remove it and dry it. Repeat this process 4 times. 4) 15 wt% SiC and 35 wt% single-source polymer precursor PSZ-Zr-Ti powder were dissolved in 50 wt% anhydrous ethanol, and slurry B was obtained after sufficient stirring and ultrasonication; 5) The C / C-SiC-TiC composite substrate coated with slurry A and dried was immersed in slurry B and allowed to stand for 5 seconds. After removal, it was dried and the process was repeated 4 times.

[0046] 6) The coated sample was cured at 300°C for 2 hours, and then carbonized at 900°C under argon atmosphere for 2 hours to obtain a pre-coated sample.

[0047] 7) The C / C-SiC-TiC composite material with a pre-coating layer was placed on a porous graphite plate and then placed in a graphite crucible with a certain amount of silicon blocks at the bottom. The temperature was then raised to 1850°C under the protection of an argon atmosphere and kept at this temperature for 15 minutes for vapor phase siliconization treatment. Thus, an anti-oxidation and ablation coating was obtained on the surface of the C / C composite material.

[0048] Step 4: Oxyacetylene flame ablation test sample: At a heat flux density of 5MW / m 2 The coating sample was ablated under a plasma flame for 2400 seconds, with a linear ablation rate of 0.763 μm / s. The oxygen flow rate was 14.4 L / s, the acetylene flow rate was 10 L / s, and the vertical distance between the flame spray gun nozzle and the sample surface was 31 mm. The surface temperature of the coating sample exceeded 1700°C.

[0049] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the present invention. It can be seen from the figure that the low-density C / C composite material is first subjected to precursor impregnation and cracking to prepare a matrix-modified C / C composite material, and then slurries A and B are prepared and two layers of coating are dip-coated on the surface of the matrix-modified C / C composite material, and then cured and carbonized. Finally, the above C / C composite material is subjected to high-temperature vapor phase siliconization treatment to obtain the target sample.

[0050] Figure 2 The surface macroscopic morphology of the substrate coating system used for C / C composite material protection after oxyacetylene flame ablation test at different times is shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 a It can be seen that the surface of the sample is smooth and dense before gas flushing. Figure 2 It can be seen from bd that the oxide layer on the surface of the sample remains relatively intact after gas scouring, and the depth of the erosion pit on the surface of the sample increases continuously with the extension of gas scouring time.

[0051] Figure 3 This is the XRD diagram of the substrate coating system used for protection of C / C composite materials. It can be seen from the figure that the surface of the C / C composite material modified by the substrate coating is mainly composed of three phases: Si, SiC and (Zr-Ti)C.

[0052] Figure 4 The surface temperature curve of the coating in the oxyacetylene flame ablation test of the substrate coating system for C / C composite material protection at different times ( Figure 4 a) and the linear ablation rate of the coating after ablation ( Figure 4 b) Figure 4 It can be seen from a that the temperature of the dynamic gas flushing test of different durations is above 1750℃. Figure 4b It can be seen that the C / C composite material modified by the substrate and coating has excellent resistance to long-term dynamic gas erosion. As the gas erosion time increases, the linear ablation rate gradually decreases. After 2400s of dynamic gas erosion, the linear ablation rate of the sample is only 0.763μm / s.

[0053] Figure 5 The SEM images of the ablation center area of ​​the sample surface after the substrate coating system for C / C composite material protection was subjected to oxyacetylene flame ablation test for different times. Figure 5 It can be seen from a that after 600s of gas flushing, the surface of the sample is uneven and not completely sintered. There are a lot of cracks, holes and exposed fibers. Figure 5 b It can be seen that after 1200s of gas flushing, the surface of the sample becomes dense and there are large molten areas. Figure 5 c It can be seen that after 2400s of gas flushing, the surface of the sample is sintered more densely, the number of surface pores is reduced, and the pore size becomes smaller.
