Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of material mechanical property testing technology, specifically relating to a gradient curing bonding method for reinforcing sheets of ceramic matrix composite tensile specimens. Background Technology
[0002] Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are characterized by high strength and brittleness. During room temperature tensile testing, there is a risk of the specimens being crushed by the testing machine grips. To prevent this, reinforcing sheets of a certain thickness are bonded to both ends of the specimen to protect it and transfer the load. However, existing methods of bonding CMCs to these reinforcing sheets have the following problems:
[0003] Due to its high brittleness and low interlaminar shear strength, CMC is prone to premature fracture at the end of the reinforcing sheet in tensile tests due to stress concentration.
[0004] The poor adhesion of general-purpose reinforcing sheets to composite materials and their frequent detachment lead to an increase in invalid room temperature tensile tests, which reduces test efficiency and increases test costs. The bonding quality of the reinforcing sheets directly affects the failure mode of the test specimens and the validity of the test data.
[0005] Traditional epoxy resin bonding processes suffer from uneven adhesive layer thickness and stress concentration during curing. If high-temperature curing adhesives (such as polyimide) are used, the large difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the high-temperature curing adhesive and CMC can easily lead to delamination at the interface. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a gradient curing bonding method for reinforcing sheets of ceramic matrix composite tensile specimens, which solves the problems of poor reinforcing sheet compatibility, low precision, and poor effective tensile test results in traditional reinforcing sheet bonding methods, reduces the interference of specimen deformation and mechanical properties, and ensures the bonding quality of the reinforcing sheet.
[0007] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0008] This invention provides a gradient curing bonding method for reinforcing sheets of ceramic matrix composite tensile specimens, specifically including the following steps:
[0009] (1) The surface of the ceramic matrix composite tensile specimen is pretreated to form an array of staggered grooves in the bonding area of the specimen, and the surface is modified with silane coupling agent. After drying, the specimen is degreased, then dry and wet polished, cleaned, dried and stored.
[0010] (2) The bonding area of the ceramic matrix composite tensile specimen treated in step (1) is coated with adhesive layers in sequence to form a gradient adhesive layer structure;
[0011] (3) The ceramic matrix composite tensile specimens treated in step (2) are cured in stages.
[0012] Furthermore, in step (1), the ceramic matrix composite material is a SiCf / SiC ceramic matrix composite material;
[0013] The silane coupling agent is a KH550, KH792 or KH602 silane coupling agent containing nano-SiO2 particles.
[0014] Furthermore, the content of nano-SiO2 particles is 30 wt.%, and the particle size is 20 nm-50 nm.
[0015] Further, in step (1), laser microtexturing technology is used to process an interlaced groove array in the bonding area of the sample. The groove width of the interlaced groove array is 50μm-100μm, the depth is 200μm-300μm, and the spacing is 1.5 times to 2 times the groove width.
[0016] Further, step (1) degreasing is done by blowing away dust and then wiping clean with degreased cotton soaked in cleaning agent; dry polishing is done by polishing with gauze along the fiber direction in a straight line; wet polishing is done by polishing with wet sandpaper under running water; cleaning is done by rinsing with volatile polar solvent and then wiping; drying is done by drying in an oven and then cooling naturally; storage is done by wrapping with neutral packaging paper for moisture and dust protection.
[0017] Furthermore, in step (2), the gradient adhesive layer structure is a sandwich adhesive layer structure consisting of a bottom flexible epoxy adhesive, a middle carbon fiber reinforced epoxy adhesive, and a top high temperature cyanate ester adhesive.
[0018] Furthermore, the bottom flexible epoxy adhesive is 70wt.% E-51 epoxy resin + 30wt% polysulfide rubber, with a modulus ≤1GPa;
[0019] The carbon fiber in the intermediate carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin is T300 fiber, with a volume fraction of 15% and a length of 3mm;
[0020] The modulus of the cyanate ester adhesive in the surface layer is ≥3 GPa.
[0021] Furthermore, the thickness of the flexible epoxy coating on the bottom layer is 100±10μm;
[0022] The thickness of the intermediate layer coated with carbon fiber reinforced epoxy adhesive is 150±10μm;
[0023] The thickness of the surface coating with high-temperature cyanate ester adhesive is 50±5μm.
[0024] Further, step (3) involves three stages of curing: the first stage is heat preservation and pressure curing, the second stage is step heating followed by heat preservation and pressure curing, and the third stage is natural cooling followed by heat preservation and pressure curing.
[0025] Furthermore, the first stage curing temperature is 60℃-65℃, the surface pressure is 0.5MPa, and the curing time is 1h-1.5h;
[0026] The second stage of curing involves a stepped temperature increase to 120℃-125℃ at a rate of 2℃ / min, with a surface pressure of 1MPa and a curing time of 2h-2.5h.
[0027] The third stage involves natural cooling to 50°C, with a surface pressure of 1 MPa and a curing time of 30 minutes.
[0028] Advantages and effects of the present invention:
[0029] 1. Improve the interfacial mechanical interlocking at the clamping end of CMC tensile specimens through the synergistic effect of surface microtexturing and nano-modification;
[0030] 2. The gradient adhesive layer curing design achieves a smooth transition of tensile modulus from the sample to the reinforcing sheet;
[0031] 3. All tensile specimens treated by the bonding method of this invention underwent valid fracture tests.
[0032] 4. It can be extended to the application of bonding and curing of tensile test specimen reinforcement sheets for other brittle materials such as composite materials;
[0033] 5. Significantly reduces CMC tensile test losses. Due to the high cost of CMC materials, the loss of specimens caused by tensile test failures is relatively high. After improving the reinforcing sheet bonding process through this invention, the test losses are greatly reduced, and the tensile test cost is reduced by RMB 17,500 per batch.
