Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of composite material forming, and in particular relates to a thermoplastic resin-based carbon fiber composite tube and a three-dimensional hot bending forming method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the fields of aerospace, new energy vehicles, and high-end equipment manufacturing, there is a growing demand for lightweight and high-strength composite pipes. Fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite pipes, with their excellent specific strength, corrosion resistance, and customizability, are gradually replacing traditional metal pipes and are widely used in key scenarios such as fuel delivery pipelines, high-voltage battery thermal management systems, and fluid transmission components. However, existing composite pipe bending forming technologies have significant bottlenecks: Traditional heating processes (such as induction heating or hot air circulation) result in low energy utilization (<50%) and uneven temperature field distribution (fluctuations >±10°C) due to the non-conductive properties of composite materials and differences in the heat absorption properties of the matrix. Conventional two-dimensional bending or push bending forming technologies cannot achieve complex three-dimensional spatial curvature, and the fiber-resin interface is prone to slip and delamination due to shear stress during the forming process. The dynamic control of the crystallinity of the thermoplastic matrix lacks a precise model, resulting in large discrete mechanical properties (bending strength deviation >15%).
[0003] Although the existing 3D free bending technology can realize the spatial bending forming of metal pipes, it has the following key defects: (1) It cannot adapt to the dimensional changes caused by temperature gradients during hot bending (such as curvature offset caused by differences in thermal expansion coefficients >8%); (2) The severe friction between the tube blank and the fixture during advancement (friction coefficient >0.3) can easily damage the surface functional coating (such as the anti-corrosion coating peeling rate >15%), affecting the service life of the pipe fittings; (3) The process is only applicable to metal materials that do not require quenching, and cannot meet the rapid phase change control requirements required for thermoplastic resin-based carbon fiber composite pipes (such as the control deviation of thermoplastic matrix crystallinity >10%).

[0099] The carbon fiber / PEEK narrow tape prepreg with a width of 9mm and a thickness of 0.04mm was wound on the outside of a metal tube with an outer diameter of 6mm, and wound for 6 layers. In order to suppress fiber slippage and interface delamination, a nano-modified layer was introduced: the nano-modified layer was applied between the prepreg layers by dip roller coating, so that the coating thickness between each layer of the wound tube was 10 ;
[0100] The DSC test shows that the melting peak of the PEEK matrix is 340-380°C, and the crystallization temperature range is 220-340°C, which can be used to obtain the optimal hot bending heating temperature and the crystallization temperature that matches the subsequent cooling temperature with the crystallinity.
