Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of carbon / carbon composite material preparation technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing C / C-SiC composite materials through multi-stage recycling of carbon / carbon composite material processing waste. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon / carbon (C / C) composites, with their unique high-temperature resistance (capable of stable operation in environments above 1000℃ for extended periods, and maintaining excellent performance even in inert atmospheres above 2000℃) and lightweight yet high-strength properties (density of only 1.3-1.8 g / cm³, with specific strength and specific modulus far exceeding traditional metals and ceramics), have become indispensable key materials in national strategic industries such as aerospace, new energy, and high-end manufacturing. In the aerospace field, C / C composites are widely used in core components such as aircraft brake discs, engine nozzles, and spacecraft heat shields, significantly reducing equipment weight and improving its high-temperature resistance and service reliability. In the new energy field, they are used in components such as fuel cell electrodes and solar thermal power generation receivers, effectively improving energy conversion efficiency and equipment lifespan. In high-end manufacturing, they serve as structural components and wear-resistant parts for precision instruments and high-speed machinery, meeting the stringent material performance requirements of high-end equipment.

[0003] However, due to the unique manufacturing process of C / C composites, multiple core steps are typically required, including preform weaving, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and liquid-phase impregnation carbonization. The final product then undergoes further machining processes such as cutting, grinding, and drilling to meet dimensional accuracy and surface quality requirements, depending on the specific application. Due to the inherent structural characteristics of C / C composites, fiber breakage and matrix detachment are common during processing, inevitably generating significant amounts of processing waste. The main components of C / C composite processing waste are short carbon fibers and pyrolytic carbon powder. Short carbon fibers retain the high strength and high modulus of the original long carbon fibers, with tensile strength exceeding 2000 MPa and elastic modulus exceeding 200 GPa, making them a high-quality reinforcing phase material. Pyrolytic carbon powder possesses excellent lubricity, wear resistance, and thermal conductivity, making it an excellent tribological material and matrix filler; both have high reuse value. However, the current methods for handling C / C composite material processing waste are rather crude, mainly involving direct disposal or sanitary landfill, which has caused serious environmental pollution and resource waste.

[0004] In summary, as the application of C / C composite materials in industry becomes increasingly widespread, the amount of processing waste generated continues to rise. The resource waste and environmental pollution caused by existing extensive treatment methods are becoming increasingly prominent, and have become a bottleneck restricting industrial development. Furthermore, existing resource utilization technologies suffer from drawbacks such as complex processes, high costs, low added value, and lack of systematic approach, failing to meet the needs of green industrial development and struggling to solve the current waste treatment dilemma.

After screening, short carbon fibers and pyrolytic carbon powder are obtained. The short carbon fibers include two types: bare ordinary fibers and petal-shaped pyrolytic carbon layer coated fibers. S3, the C / C powder after the screening in step S2 is screened again through a gradient sieve with a larger mesh size of 300 mesh, and after screening, short carbon fibers and pyrolytic carbon powder are obtained.
