Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ceramic matrix composite nozzle preparation technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a thin-walled ceramic matrix composite nozzle and a preparation mold. Background Technology
[0002] Ceramic matrix composites are a new type of strategic material with characteristics such as high temperature resistance, low density, high specific strength, high specific modulus, oxidation resistance, ablation resistance, insensitivity to cracks, and non-catastrophic damage. They have wide applications in aviation, aerospace, satellite spaceflight, nuclear energy, and photovoltaic fields.
[0003] As aircraft speeds and distances continue to increase, the performance requirements for engines are also rising. The exhaust nozzle is a key component in scramjet engines, responsible for converting the thermal energy of the high-temperature, high-pressure combustion gases into kinetic energy. With the diversification of nozzle application conditions, thin-walled nozzles can significantly reduce the mass of the preform while meeting the technical requirements of these applications. Therefore, the molding of ceramic-based thin-walled nozzle preforms and the fabrication of nozzles are urgent technological challenges that need to be addressed.
[0004] Currently, nozzles are typically fabricated using three-dimensional needle-punching technology. The nozzle preform employs a layered structure of longitudinal carbon fiber nonwoven fabric layup + mesh + circumferential fiber winding + mesh. After laying a layer of mesh, the fibers of the mesh are needled into adjacent nonwoven fabric or circumferential winding units. The Z-axis fibers improve the shear strength of the preform. For thin-walled nozzle preforms (preform thickness ≤ 5mm), the traditional three-dimensional needle-punching structure suffers from localized discontinuities in the continuous fiber layers on the inner and outer surfaces during machining due to the thinness of the preform. Furthermore, the limited number of continuous fiber layers due to the thin wall thickness significantly impacts the preform's strength. The fabrication process of three-dimensional needle-punched preforms involves repeated laying and needle-punching, making it complex, labor-intensive, and expensive. Chinese invention patent CN117818087A discloses a method for molding resin-based composite material nozzles using two-dimensional carbon cloth laying. This molding method has cutouts in each layer in the circumferential direction, which greatly reduces the circumferential stress of the preform. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method and mold for preparing thin-walled ceramic matrix composite nozzles, which solves the problems that existing three-dimensional needle-punched preform preparation processes are complex and unsuitable for preparing thin-walled nozzle preforms.
[0006] Firstly, in order to achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A method for preparing a thin-walled ceramic matrix composite nozzle includes the following steps: S1: Assemble the mold and install it on the fabric wrapping machine; S2: Use a fabric wrapping machine to drive the mold to rotate and wrap the preform on the mold; S3: The preform is pyrolyzed using a vapor deposition process; S4: A pyrolytic carbon interface layer is deposited on the surface of the preform using the CVI process; S5: High-temperature treatment of the precast body; S6: The preform is impregnated and cured using a precursor impregnation and pyrolysis process; S7: SiC matrix deposition is performed on the preform using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process; S8: Machining the inner and outer surfaces of the precast body; S9: The silicon carbide substrate of the preform is densified again using chemical vapor deposition.
[0007] In this scheme, a fabric wrapping machine drives the mold to rotate while carbon fiber prepreg is wound onto the mold to form a preform. The raw material used is 3K carbon fiber prepreg. This carbon fiber prepreg winding method can improve the preparation accuracy of the preform, reduce fiber breakage during machining, and enhance circumferential strength. Simultaneously, the prepreg winding process can increase the fiber volume content of the preform (3DN preform fiber volume fraction: 25-30%, fabric wrapping preform fiber volume fraction: 50%-60%). The preform can be prepared according to shape through CNC programming design, improving preparation accuracy, increasing preparation efficiency, and reducing subsequent processing.
[0008] Furthermore, S1 includes the following steps: S101: Assemble the upper inner mold and the lower inner mold. The upper inner mold and the lower inner mold are connected by double-headed bolts and nuts. S102: Pre-positioning fixture installed inside the lower inner mold; Post-positioning fixture installed at the end of the upper inner mold; S103: Fix the mounting shafts of the front positioning fixture and the rear positioning fixture onto the jaws and ejector pins of the tape winding machine, respectively.
[0009] Furthermore, S2 includes the following steps: S201: The fabric tape winding machine drives the mold to rotate. During the rotation, the carbon fiber phenolic resin prepreg tape is wound circumferentially along the outer surface of the lower inner mold and the upper inner film to form a preform. S202: After the preform is wound, 1 to 3 layers of carbon fiber bundles are wound on the outermost layer of the preform to increase the density of the preform after the carbon fiber phenolic resin prepreg tape is wound. S203: After the outer carbon fiber bundle is wound, remove the preform and mold from the tape winding machine, and remove the front positioning fixture and the rear positioning fixture. S204: 3K carbon fiber bundles are used to sew the wound preform along the Z-direction fiber sewing holes on the mold surface to strengthen the interlayer bonding between the carbon fiber phenolic resin prepreg layers. S205: Place the preform in a vacuum bag and evacuate it. After the vacuum degree of the preform stabilizes at -5 to -30 kPa, pre-cur the preform in an oven or autoclave. The curing temperature is 50 to 160℃ and the time is 1 to 2 hours.
[0010] In this scheme, carbon fiber phenolic resin prepreg tape is first wound around the mold, then a large bundle of carbon fiber filaments is wound around, and finally the carbon fiber is sewn along the Z-direction fiber sewing holes to ensure the connection and density between the fibers.
[0011] Furthermore, S5 includes the following steps: S501: Remove the seam between the precast body and the mold, remove the double-ended bolts and nuts, and remove the upper inner mold and the lower inner mold; S502: High-temperature treatment under an inert atmosphere; heat to 1800-2000℃ and hold for 1-3 hours, then cool naturally to room temperature; S503: Reinstall the upper and lower inner molds inside the precast body, and install the double-ended bolts and nuts.
[0012] In this scheme, the preform undergoes high-temperature treatment, which can increase the graphitization degree of the carbon fiber cloth and enhance its mechanical properties and temperature resistance.
[0013] Furthermore, S6 includes the following steps: S601: Polycarbosilane is used to impregnate the outer surface of the preform after molding under normal pressure. The impregnation time is 1~4h, so that the polycarbosilane can fully penetrate into the pores of the preform. S602: Curing is performed while the mold is in place, at a curing temperature of 80~200℃, and the curing time is 1~3 hours.
[0014] Furthermore, S7 includes the following steps: S701: Remove the upper inner mold and lower inner mold; S702: In a vapor deposition furnace, heat to 1100~1400℃ and hold for 1~2 hours to carry out pyrolysis; after pyrolysis, cool down to 890-1050℃. S703: After the temperature stabilizes, SiC matrix deposition is carried out. During the first deposition, the small end of the preform should face upward. S704: Perform a second deposition, with the small end of the preform facing upwards during the second deposition; repeat deposition until the density of the preform is ≥1.85g / cm³.
[0015] In this scheme, the density of the precast body is approximately 1.4~1.5 g / cm³. 3 At the same time, remove the sewing fibers from the precast body cavity. During the deposition process, change the way the components are placed in the furnace by flipping them over to ensure uniform deposition on all sides.
[0016] Furthermore, S8 includes the following steps: S801: Using a CNC lathe to machine the inner and outer surfaces of the precast body; S802: Apply SiC powder to areas with local appearance defects on the inner and outer surfaces of the preform to improve the surface quality of the preform after finishing.
[0017] Secondly, based on the method for preparing a thin-walled ceramic matrix composite nozzle provided in the first aspect, the present invention provides a mold for preparing a thin-walled ceramic matrix composite nozzle, including an upper inner mold and a lower inner mold; the lower inner mold has a flared structure, and the constricted end of the flared structure has a flange edge turned inward, and the interior of the upper inner mold also has a flange edge turned inward; the upper inner mold and the lower inner mold are connected by double-ended bolts that pass through the flange edge, and nuts are installed at both ends of the double-ended bolts.
[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a front positioning fixture and a rear positioning fixture; the rear positioning fixture is installed at the end of the upper inner mold by screws, and the mounting shaft in the middle of the rear positioning fixture is used to fix it on the chuck of the tape winding machine; the front positioning fixture is supported inside the flared end of the lower inner mold, and the flared end of the lower inner mold has a through hole in the radial direction. The front positioning fixture is fixed inside the lower inner mold by a positioning pin and a fastening bolt through the through hole, and the positioning pin and the fastening bolt are arranged alternately.
[0019] Furthermore, the upper inner mold and the lower inner mold are made of graphite; the surface of the lower inner mold is provided with Z-direction fiber sewing holes of φ3 to 5.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention provides a method for preparing thin-walled ceramic matrix composite nozzles, specifically a method suitable for forming thin-walled (≤5mm) nozzle preforms. This method employs a prefabrication process involving carbon fiber phenolic resin prepreg winding, large-tow circumferential winding, Z-axis carbon fiber stitching, and pre-curing. Compared to traditional three-dimensional needle-punched preform structures, this method offers advantages such as conformal design and preparation, high fiber content, and high thickness accuracy during production. It solves problems associated with traditional three-dimensional needle-punched preforms, including low thickness accuracy, processing defects, low mechanical properties, and large machining operations. Furthermore, since carbon fiber prepreg winding technology is mature and offers a low-cost, mass-producible composite material preform preparation technology with controllable quality, it can significantly reduce the preparation cost of thin-walled nozzle preforms. The combination of PIP and CVI, with a single finishing process after achieving the required density, reduces the number of deposition furnaces and machining operations, shortening the overall process flow.
[0021] The method for preparing thin-walled ceramic matrix composite nozzles provided by this invention is applicable to the preparation of various thin-walled nozzle products and has a wide range of uses. Attached Figure Description
