The invention discloses a
ceramic component gradient modified C / C-SiC-ZrC
composite material and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of carbon / carbon
composite material matrix modification preparation, a carbon
fiber preform and a
heating element are placed in chemical
liquid phase vaporization deposition equipment, a precursor solution is added until the carbon
fiber preform is fully soaked, and a
ceramic component gradient modified C / C-SiC-ZrC
composite material is obtained; and carrying out chemical
liquid phase vaporization deposition reaction to obtain the low-density C / C composite material with
porosity in unidirectional gradient distribution. And putting the mixture into a
graphite crucible with a carbon-rich area facing downwards and a carbon-less area facing upwards, completely putting the
graphite crucible into the
ceramic powder for modification, reacting and infiltrating, and cooling to
room temperature to obtain the C / C-SiC-ZrC composite material with the gradient modified ceramic components. The end with high ceramic content endows the material with a high-temperature
thermal protection function, the end with high
pyrolytic carbon content can effectively conduct heat generated in a ceramic-rich area, and the end with low ceramic content can effectively conduct heat generated in a ceramic-rich area. Due to the gradient design from the ceramic-rich area to the carbon-rich area, the material has high-temperature
oxidation resistance and
ablation resistance and is light, and lightweight design of an
aerospace thermal protection structure is facilitated.
