Description

Composite slurry, its preparation method and application Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of carbon ceramic brake disc technology, and in particular to a composite slurry, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, automotive brake discs are still mainly made of powder metallurgy and gray cast iron. These materials are heavy, have a low melting point, and are prone to deformation. Mid-to-high-end cars and racing vehicles are increasingly using brake discs made of carbon / ceramic composite materials. These discs offer advantages such as low density, high temperature resistance, high strength, good friction performance, and long service life. Carbon / ceramic composite materials mainly consist of carbon, silicon, and silicon carbide. The carbon is primarily composed of carbon fibers and matrix carbon. While these two carbon components remain stable at room temperature, they are easily oxidized at temperatures above 400°C. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause oxidation, leading to grooves or other damage on the surface of carbon / ceramic composite brake discs. To better prevent carbon oxidation, coated carbon-ceramic brake discs have been developed. These discs have a silicon carbide (SiC) coating on their surface, which not only improves oxidation resistance but also enhances friction performance. Currently, the production cost and price of coated carbon-ceramic brake discs are relatively high. If the coating surface of a carbon / ceramic brake disc is damaged and rendered unusable, it would result in significant losses. Therefore, repairing them with a repair agent is essential. Traditional repair agents often result in poor adhesion between the coating and the carbon ceramic brake disc itself.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to improve traditional technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0022] The coated carbon-ceramic brake disc with a repair layer is subjected to fused silica infiltration.

[0023] In some embodiments, in the application of repair coatings on carbon-ceramic brake discs, the fused silica infiltration includes the following steps:

[0024] The coated carbon-ceramic brake disc with the repair layer is placed in a silicon infiltration furnace, silicon powder is added, and the silicon powder is melted and infiltrated by capillary force, so that the coated carbon-ceramic brake disc body is connected to the repair layer.

[0025] In some embodiments, the application of repairing coated carbon ceramic brake discs includes, before the step of applying the composite slurry to the area to be repaired on the coated carbon ceramic brake disc body, a step of sequentially cleaning and drying the area to be repaired on the coated carbon ceramic brake disc body.

[0026] In some embodiments, in the application of repairing coated carbon ceramic brake discs, after the step of applying the composite slurry to the area to be repaired on the coated carbon ceramic brake disc body, the method further includes the steps of sequentially curing and polishing the composite slurry applied to the area to be repaired on the coated carbon ceramic brake disc body to form a repair layer.

Specifically, the mass or weight mentioned in the embodiments of this application can be units known in the chemical industry, such as μg, mg, g, and kg.

[0048] The process for repairing uncoated carbon ceramic brake discs uses carbon fiber cloth as a carrier and is repaired through resin bonding, impregnation, carbonization, and silicon infiltration. This production process has a long production cycle, is complicated, and has a high repair cost. Furthermore, the defects in these repaired parts are mainly filled with carbon fiber cloth, which is easily oxidized at temperatures above 400°C. During normal braking, the temperature of the brake disc will be above 400°C, resulting in a short service life.

[0049] One embodiment of this application provides a composite slurry, the components of which include 5% to 10% silicon particles, 55% to 65% silicon carbide particles, 5% to 10% graphite particles, and 25% to 35% resin solution. The D50 particle size of the silicon particles is 38 μm to 80 μm, and the D50 particle size of the silicon particles is smaller than that of the silicon carbide particles, and the D50 particle size of the graphite particles is smaller than that of the silicon carbide particles.

[0050] The composite slurry of this application includes graphite particles, silicon particles, graphite particles and resin solution in a specific ratio. By controlling the particle size of silicon particles and controlling the particle size of silicon carbide particles to be larger than the particle sizes of silicon particles and graphite particles, the interaction of these features makes the repair layer formed by the composite slurry have better adhesion and higher consistency with the coated carbon ceramic brake disc, and the repair layer has higher density.

[0051] Among them, the shrinkage rate of the reaction between graphite and silicon is small, which effectively improves the bonding force between the repair layer formed by the composite slurry and the coated carbon ceramic brake disc, and effectively promotes the density of the repair layer; by controlling the particle size of silicon particles, the pores formed during melting are small, which effectively improves the consistency between the repair layer and the coating of the coated carbon ceramic brake disc, and effectively improves the density of the repair layer.

[0052] Research has found that if graphite particles are replaced with carbon particles, gaps exist between the repair layer formed by the composite slurry and the coating of the carbon-ceramic brake disc, resulting in lower bonding strength between the repair layer and the coating, thus affecting the repair pass rate. Analysis suggests this is due to the greater shrinkage rate of the reaction between carbon particles and silicon particles.

[0053] If the silicon particles are too large, the adhesion between the repair layer and the coated carbon-ceramic brake disc will also weaken. Analysis suggests that during the molten silicon infiltration stage, the silicon melts into a liquid state, and large-particle silicon will form large pores in this area, preventing it from becoming dense. This results in pores forming on the coating surface, thus weakening the adhesion between the repair layer and the coated carbon-ceramic brake disc.

[0054] It is understood that, by mass percentage, the composite slurry contains, but is not limited to, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, and 10% silicon particles; 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, and 75% silicon carbide particles; 5% of graphite particles; and 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, and 35% resin solution.

[0055] It is understood that in the composite slurry, the mass ratio of silicon particles to silicon carbide particles is 1:5.5 to 1:13. Further, the mass ratio of silicon particles to silicon carbide particles includes, but is not limited to, 1:5.5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8, 1:9, 1:10, 1:11, 1:12, and 1:13.

[0056] It is understood that in the composite slurry, the mass ratio of graphite particles to silicon carbide particles is 1:5.5 to 1:13. Further, the mass ratio of graphite particles to silicon carbide particles includes, but is not limited to, 1:5.5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8, 1:9, 1:10, 1:11, 1:12, and 1:13. Optionally, the mass ratio of graphite particles to silicon carbide particles is 1:10 to 1:13.

[0057] In some of these examples, the D50 particle size of the graphite particles in the composite slurry is smaller than that of the silicon particles.

[0058] In some of these examples, the ratio of the D50 particle size of silicon particles to the D50 particle size of silicon carbide particles in the composite slurry is 0.3 to 0.96:1.

[0059] It is understood that the ratio between the D50 particle size of silicon particles and the D50 particle size of silicon carbide particles includes, but is not limited to, 0.3:1, 0.38:1, 0.4:1, 0.5:1, 0.53:1, 0.6:1, 0.7:1, 0.76:1, 0.8:1, 0.9:1, and 0.96:1.

[0060] In some of these examples, the ratio of the D50 particle size of graphite particles to the D50 particle size of silicon carbide particles in the composite slurry is 0.05 to 0.5:1.

[0061] It is understood that the ratio between the D50 particle size of graphite particles and the D50 particle size of silicon carbide particles includes, but is not limited to, 0.05:1, 0.06:1, 0.1:1, 0.15:1, 0.2:1, 0.3:1, 0.4:1, and 0.5:1.

[0062] It is understood that the D50 particle size of silicon particles includes, but is not limited to, 38μm, 40μm, 42μm, 45μm, 48μm, 50μm, 52μm, 55μm, 58μm, 60μm, 62μm, 65μm, 68μm, 70μm, 72μm, 75μm, 78μm, and 80μm; in some examples, it can be any two of these point values ​​as end values ​​within a range, the same below.

[0063] In some of these examples, the D50 particle size of the silicon carbide particles in the composite slurry is 40 μm to 150 μm.

[0064] It is understood that the D50 particle size of silicon carbide particles includes, but is not limited to, 40μm, 42μm, 45μm, 48μm, 50μm, 52μm, 55μm, 58μm, 60μm, 62μm, 65μm, 68μm, 70μm, 72μm, 75μm, 78μm, 80μm, 85μm, 90μm, 95μm, 100μm, 105μm, 110μm, 115μm, 120μm, 125μm, 130μm, 135μm, 140μm, 145μm, and 150μm.

[0065] In some of these examples, the D50 particle size of the graphite particles in the composite slurry is 10 μm to 20 μm.

[0066] It is understood that the D50 particle size of graphite particles includes, but is not limited to, 10μm, 11μm, 12μm, 13μm, 14μm, 15μm, 16μm, 17μm, 18μm, 19μm, and 20μm.

[0067] In some of these examples, the surface of the silicon carbide particles in the composite slurry is loaded with both particles and graphite particles.

[0068] It is understood that at least some silicon particles and graphite particles are loaded on the surface of silicon carbide particles; further, it is understood that some or all silicon particles and graphite particles are loaded on the surface of silicon carbide particles.

[0069] By controlling the particle size of silicon particles, silicon carbide particles, and graphite particles, the particle size difference between the three types of particles is small, and the mixing uniformity is good. This can further improve the bonding strength and consistency between the repair layer formed by the composite slurry and the coated carbon ceramic brake disc body, as well as the density of the repair layer.

[0070] In some of these examples, the solid content of the resin solution in the composite slurry is 70% to 80%.

[0071] Compared to directly using resin as a binder, which requires pressing at high temperatures and pressures, posing a risk of damage to the coated carbon-ceramic brake disc and potentially destroying its coating and internal fiber structure, thus reducing its mechanical properties, this application utilizes a resin solution and controls its solid content to effectively enhance the bonding strength between the repair layer formed by the composite slurry and the coated carbon-ceramic brake disc. This eliminates the need for external pressure, resulting in non-destructive repair. Furthermore, the reaction between the resin carbon formed by the carbonization of the polymer resin and silicon further enhances the bonding strength between the repair layer and the coated carbon-ceramic brake disc.

[0072] It is understood that the solid content of the resin solution includes, but is not limited to, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, and 80%.

[0073] In some of these examples, the resin solution in the composite slurry includes a phenolic resin solution.

[0074] It is understandable that phenolic resin solutions can be cured at room temperature.

[0075] One embodiment of this application provides a method for preparing a composite slurry, comprising the following steps:

[0076] The raw materials are provided according to the above-mentioned composite slurry;

[0077] A composite slurry is prepared by mixing silicon particles, silicon carbide particles, graphite particles and resin solution.

[0078] The low shrinkage rate of the reaction between graphite particles and silicon effectively enhances the bonding strength between the repair layer formed by the composite slurry and the coated carbon-ceramic brake disc, and also effectively promotes the density of the repair layer. By controlling the particle size of silicon particles, the pores formed during melting are smaller, effectively improving the consistency between the repair layer and the coating of the coated carbon-ceramic brake disc, and also effectively improving the density of the repair layer. By controlling the particle size of silicon carbide particles to be larger than that of silicon and graphite particles, the surface of silicon carbide particles is loaded with silicon and graphite particles, which is beneficial for subsequent silicon infiltration reaction, thereby improving the bonding strength and consistency between the repair layer and the coating of the coated carbon-ceramic brake disc, as well as the density of the repair layer.

[0079] In some examples, the method for preparing the composite slurry involves mixing silicon particles, silicon carbide particles, graphite particles, and a resin solution, followed by stirring; further, the stirring equipment is a high-pressure pneumatic stirrer; further, the stirring time is 2 to 3 hours.

[0080] One embodiment of this application provides the application of the above-described composite slurry or the composite slurry prepared by the above-described method in the repair of coated carbon ceramic brake discs.

[0081] In some of these examples, the application of repair coatings in carbon ceramic brake discs includes the following steps:

[0082] The composite slurry or the composite slurry prepared by the above preparation method is applied to the area to be repaired on the coated carbon ceramic brake disc body to form a repair layer, thereby obtaining a coated carbon ceramic brake disc with a repair layer.

[0083] The coated carbon ceramic brake disc with a repair layer is subjected to fused silica infiltration.

[0084] It is understood that another embodiment of this application provides a method for repairing coated carbon ceramic brake discs, including the following steps:

[0085] The composite slurry or the composite slurry prepared by the above preparation method is applied to the area to be repaired on the coated carbon ceramic brake disc body to form a repair layer, thereby obtaining a coated carbon ceramic brake disc with a repair layer.

[0086] The coated carbon ceramic brake disc with a repair layer is subjected to fused silica infiltration.

[0087] In some of these examples, in applications that repair coated carbon-ceramic brake discs, fused silica infiltration includes the following steps:

[0088] The coated carbon-ceramic brake disc with a repair layer is placed in a silicon infiltration furnace, silicon powder is added, and the silicon powder is melted and infiltrated by capillary force, so that the coated carbon-ceramic brake disc body and the repair layer are connected.

[0089] In some of these examples, in applications such as repair coatings on carbon ceramic brake discs, the D50 particle size of the silica powder is 6 mm to 10 mm.

[0090] In some of these examples, in the application of repair coatings on carbon-ceramic brake discs, the temperature of molten silicon infiltration is 1450℃~1500℃, the time is 2h~3h, and the vacuum degree is less than 1kPa.

[0091] It is understandable that after the silicon powder is added and before the silicon powder is melted and infiltrated by capillary force, there is also a step of evacuating and heating the silicon infiltration furnace.

[0092] It is understandable that in the process of placing the carbon ceramic brake disc with the repair layer in the silicon infiltration furnace, the carbon ceramic brake disc with the repair layer is first placed in the graphite tooling, and then the tooling is placed in the silicon infiltration furnace.

[0093] The purpose of using graphite tooling is to prevent silicon absorption.

[0094] In some examples, the application of repairing coated carbon ceramic brake discs includes, prior to the step of applying the composite slurry to the area to be repaired on the coated carbon ceramic brake disc body, a step of sequentially cleaning and drying the area to be repaired on the coated carbon ceramic brake disc body.

[0095] Clean the impurities in the area to be repaired to improve the bonding strength and performance after repair.

[0096] In some of these examples, in applications involving the repair of coated carbon-ceramic brake discs, ultrasonic cleaning is employed. Specifically, the cleaning frequency is 50 kHz, and the cleaning time is 20–30 minutes.

[0097] In some of these examples, the application in repairing coated carbon-ceramic brake discs involves drying in a constant-temperature drying oven. Specifically, the drying temperature is 120°C–130°C, and the drying time is 2–3 hours.

[0098] In some examples, in the application of repairing coated carbon ceramic brake discs, after the step of applying the composite slurry to the area to be repaired on the coated carbon ceramic brake disc body, the steps further include curing and polishing the composite slurry applied to the area to be repaired on the coated carbon ceramic brake disc body in sequence to form a repair layer.

[0099] It is understandable that when phenolic resin solution is used as a binder, it can be cured at room temperature; furthermore, the curing time is 6h to 8h.

[0100] In some examples, in the application of repair coating carbon ceramic brake discs, after the melt-diffusion step, a step of surface treatment is also included on the coated carbon ceramic brake disc obtained by melt-diffusion.

[0101] It is understandable that, in some of these examples, the application of repair coatings in carbon ceramic brake discs includes the following steps:

[0102] Step S1: Clean and dry the areas of the coated carbon ceramic brake disc to be repaired in sequence;

[0103] Step S2: Apply the composite slurry prepared by the above-mentioned composite slurry or the above-mentioned preparation method to the area to be repaired on the coated carbon ceramic brake disc body after drying in step S1. Then, the composite slurry applied to the area to be repaired on the coated carbon ceramic brake disc body is cured and polished in sequence to form a repair layer, thereby obtaining a coated carbon ceramic brake disc with a repair layer.

[0104] Step S3: The coated carbon-ceramic brake disc with the repair layer obtained in step S2 is subjected to melt silicon infiltration;

[0105] Step S4: Perform surface treatment on the coated carbon ceramic brake disc obtained by melt infiltration in step S3.

[0106] The composite slurry prepared by the above-mentioned composite slurry or the above-mentioned preparation method is used to repair the part of the coated carbon ceramic brake disc body to be repaired. The resulting repair layer has strong adhesion and good compatibility with the coated carbon ceramic brake disc body.
