Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of refractory materials technology, and in particular to a high-temperature refractory and heat-insulating carbon fiber composite material and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] High-temperature refractory insulation materials are indispensable key materials in industrial production, building kilns, metallurgy, and chemical industries. Their performance directly affects the operating efficiency, service life, and safety of high-temperature equipment. With the continuous upgrading of industrial technology, the requirements for refractory insulation materials under high-temperature conditions are becoming increasingly stringent. Refractory insulation materials not only need to have excellent high-temperature resistance, but also need to have good thermal insulation, mechanical strength, and thermal shock resistance to adapt to complex working conditions of repeated heating and cooling.
[0003] Currently, there are many types of high-temperature refractory and heat-insulating materials on the market, mainly including traditional refractory bricks, ceramic fiber materials, lightweight refractory castables, and carbon fiber reinforced composites. While traditional refractory bricks have good high-temperature resistance, they suffer from drawbacks such as high density, poor insulation, and insufficient thermal shock resistance, making them prone to cracking and breakage during thermal cycles. Ceramic fiber materials offer excellent insulation, but their low mechanical strength makes them susceptible to pulverization and failure under prolonged high-temperature conditions, resulting in a short service life. Lightweight refractory castables possess certain refractoriness and insulation properties, but their low strength after molding and tendency to shrink during sintering affect construction quality and operational stability. Carbon fiber refractory composites possess high strength, thermal shock resistance, and corrosion resistance, effectively improving the mechanical properties and crack resistance of refractory materials. However, the low surface activity of carbon fibers and weak interfacial bonding with the matrix material limit their application in composite materials.
[0004] Therefore, this application provides a high-temperature refractory and heat-insulating carbon fiber composite material and its preparation method to solve the problems of weak compressive strength of carbon fiber bonded to refractory matrix and insufficient high-temperature resistance of lightweight aggregate, thereby enhancing high-temperature resistance and improving compressive strength. Summary of the Invention

The speed of the high-speed mixer is set to 1300-1500 r / min, and dry-mixed for 6-10 min to obtain modified short-cut carbon fiber.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate is pretreated by the following method: the sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate is placed in an electric thermostatic drying oven and dried at 60-80°C for 1-2 hours. After drying, it is cooled to room temperature and passed through a 200-mesh sieve. The sieved sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate is then transferred to a brown sealed bottle for later use.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sodium tripolyphosphate is industrial grade sodium tripolyphosphate with a purity ≥98% and a water solubility ≥95g / 100mL at room temperature.
[0013] Secondly, the present invention also provides a method for preparing a high-temperature refractory and heat-insulating carbon fiber composite material, comprising the following steps:
[0014] S1. Weigh out wollastonite-feldspar composite powder, modified porous mullite aggregate, calcium aluminate cement and modified short-cut carbon fiber according to the proportion, put them into a high-speed mixer, set the speed to 800-1000 r / min, dry mix for 8-12 minutes to obtain a dry powder mixture.
[0015] S2. Weigh out deionized water and place it in a mixing tank according to the mass ratio of dry powder mixture to water of 20:5-7. Add sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and sodium tripolyphosphate to the deionized water in proportion. Set the speed of the mixing tank to 500-600 r / min and stir for 15-20 minutes to obtain an aqueous solution of the additives.
[0016] S3. Adjust the speed of the high-speed mixer to 400-500 r / min, and slowly add the aqueous solution of the additive to the dry powder mixture through the feed inlet at a rate of 5-10 L / h. After the addition is complete, continue stirring for 20-30 minutes to obtain the slurry.
[0017] S4. Quickly transfer the slurry into the customized mold, use a scraper to smooth the surface of the slurry, send the smoothed mold into the hydraulic molding machine, apply a pressure of 15-25MPa, hold the pressure for 3-5 minutes, and obtain the molded blank.
[0018] S5. Place the molded blank along with the mold into a constant temperature and humidity curing chamber, set the curing temperature to 20-28℃ and the relative humidity to 70-80%, and cure for 20-40 hours. Then, place it into a hydraulic demolding machine for demolding. After demolding, place it into an electric heating constant temperature drying oven for drying. Slowly raise the temperature to 110℃ at a rate of 5℃ per hour and hold it at 110℃ for 3-5 hours. After drying, place it into a high temperature sintering furnace. Under a nitrogen atmosphere, raise the temperature to 1100-1200℃ at a rate of 3-5℃ per minute and sinter at this temperature for 2-4 hours. After sintering, cool it to room temperature and remove it to obtain the finished high temperature refractory and heat-insulating carbon fiber composite material.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0020] 1. This invention utilizes wollastonite-feldspar composite powder as a ceramic matrix in high-temperature refractory and heat-insulating carbon fiber composites, providing excellent high-temperature stability and a certain level of mechanical strength. Wollastonite possesses a unique needle-like or fibrous crystal structure, which remains relatively stable at high temperatures, resisting decomposition or deformation, thus providing high-temperature structural support for the composite material. Potassium feldspar can adjust the coefficient of thermal expansion of the composite material; its crystal structure's expansion or contraction during temperature changes coordinates with wollastonite, reducing the overall coefficient of thermal expansion of the composite material. After ball milling and high-temperature treatment, wollastonite and potassium feldspar achieve synergistic performance optimization, jointly enhancing the high-temperature stability and mechanical strength of the high-temperature refractory and heat-insulating carbon fiber composite material.
[0021] 2. This invention utilizes modified porous mullite aggregate as a lightweight insulating aggregate in high-temperature refractory and heat-insulating carbon fiber composites. This enhances high-temperature resistance and material strength, while its porous structure helps improve insulation performance and reduce heat transfer efficiency. Porous mullite aggregate itself possesses high strength and excellent high-temperature resistance; its crystal structure remains stable at high temperatures. After silica sol soaking, stirring, and drying, the silica sol fills the pores of the aggregate, forming a silicon-aluminum-oxygen composite structure at high temperatures, further enhancing the aggregate's strength and bonding with the matrix material. Simultaneously, the air filling the porous structure acts as an excellent insulating medium, effectively preventing heat conduction, thereby improving the insulation performance of the high-temperature refractory and heat-insulating carbon fiber composite.
[0022] 3. This invention incorporates modified short-cut carbon fibers into high-temperature refractory and heat-insulating carbon fiber composites, enhancing thermal shock resistance and reducing crack propagation and material damage caused by thermal shock. After calcination and oxidation treatment, the active groups formed on the surface of the short-cut carbon fibers increase the surface roughness and chemical activity. Further treatment with a silane coupling agent causes hydrolysis and condensation reactions on the fiber surface, forming an organic-inorganic hybrid film. This film can chemically bond with the inorganic components in the matrix material and also form good physical adsorption and chemical bonding with the carbon fiber surface, thus greatly enhancing the interfacial bonding force between the carbon fiber and the matrix material. When the high-temperature refractory and heat-insulating carbon fiber composite is subjected to external forces or thermal shock, the carbon fibers can effectively transfer and disperse stress, preventing crack propagation and improving the mechanical properties and thermal shock resistance of the high-temperature refractory and heat-insulating carbon fiber composite.
