Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of alumina fiber preparation technology, specifically relating to a preparation process for alumina fiber cord. Background Technology
[0002] Alumina fiber is an important type of polycrystalline refractory fiber. Its internal structure is microcrystalline. Compared to non-oxide fibers such as carbon fiber and silicon carbide fiber, alumina fiber not only possesses excellent properties such as high strength, high modulus, and high temperature resistance, but also exhibits good high-temperature oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and electrical insulation. It has been widely used in high-temperature insulation materials, catalyst supports in high-temperature reactions, refractory materials, and as a reinforcing material for resin, metal, and ceramic matrix composites. Typically, polycrystalline alumina fibers used in refractory materials require uniform diameter, with an optimal average diameter of 3-5 μm, minimal slag ball content, and good flexibility and strength. Polycrystalline alumina fibers are usually prepared using the sol-gel method. The sol-gel method uses organometallic compounds, inorganic metal compounds, or mixtures of both as raw materials. Through a hydrolysis and polymerization process, the fibers gradually gel and undergo post-treatment to finally obtain oxides or other compounds.
[0003] Traditional alumina fiber production processes are conducted at high temperatures, which, while achieving excellent high-temperature resistance, have several shortcomings in terms of energy consumption, production efficiency, and environmental safety. Furthermore, existing production processes also suffer from the following problems: commercially available alumina powder has low purity, and the cleaning process is not thorough enough, failing to effectively remove surface impurities and oil, resulting in insufficient coating adhesion. The twisting process lacks precise control over twisting speed and twist ratio, leading to loose fiber bonding and affecting the mechanical properties and durability of the fiber rope.
