A kind of preparation method of carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide matrix composite
Technical field
The invention belongs to field of inorganic nonmetallic material, relate to the preparation technology of matrix material, especially a kind of preparation method of carbon fibre reinforced silicon carbide ceramic composite.
Background technology
In silicon carbide ceramics, add continuous carbon fibre, prepare carbon fibre reinforced silicon carbide (C
f/ SiC) matrix material, carbon fiber the mechanism such as extracts by crack deflection, fiber in ceramic breaking-down process, can strengthen intensity and the toughness of stupalith.
Existing C
fthe preparation technology of/SiC matrix material mainly contains: chemical vapour deposition (CVI) technique, precursor infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) technique, mud dipping hot pressing (SIHP) technique, liquid impregnation (LSI) technique etc.
The technological process of CVI is that carbon fiber preform is placed in to CVI stove, and reactant gases is delivered to preform backward its internal divergence around by the directed flow being produced by pressure difference, at fiber surface generation chemical reaction in-situ deposition.CVI technique is prepared C
fthe major advantage of/SiC matrix material be can be at the temperature far below body material fusing point synthesize ceramic matrix, reduce the fibre property that the high-temperature chemical reaction between fiber and matrix brings and decline; The integrity that can also keep fibre preforms body structure in preparation process, realizes near-net-shape and prepares complex-shaped goods.But it is very long that CVI technique also exists preparation cycle, along gas diffusion path, there is larger density difference, the defects such as the remaining a large amount of void content of matrix material.
SIHP technological process is that SiC powder, sintering aid powder and organic binder bond etc. are made to mud by solvent, and carbon fiber is spun into non-woven fabrics, the molded rear hot pressed sintering of slice module after mud dipping.The densification of material mainly completes by liquid-phase sintering process.The C manufacturing by SIHP method
f/ SiC matrix material density is higher, and defect is less, is comparatively applicable to preparing unidirectional composite material.But SIHP method has larger difficulty to preparation complex shaped components, and carbon fiber tends to and SiC matrix generation surface reaction under High Temperature High Pressure, cause fibre property to decline, be unfavorable for improving the performance of material.
PIP legal system is for C
fthe conventional process of/SiC matrix material is to adopt organic precursor liquid solution impregnation of carbon fibers preform under certain temperature and pressure, after crosslinking curing, carries out Pintsch process under protection of inert gas, makes precursor be converted into SiC ceramic matrix.The preparation temperature of PIP method is low, can with no pressurely burn till, less to the machinery of fiber and chemical damage, and can prepare the member of large complicated shape.But the shortcoming of this kind of technique also clearly, and material densification needs several dipping-lytic cycles, and the production cycle is longer; And owing to can produce small molecule by-product in Pintsch process process, from matrix, overflow, the porosity of resulting materials is higher, has more difficultly prepared fully dense material; Easily there is the chemical reaction of certain form in precursor and fiber, on the one hand fiber is badly damaged in cracking process, forms on the other hand the interfacial layer of strong combination, causes material toughness not high.
LSI technique comprises three primary processes: first prefabricated carbon fiber part is put into airtight mould, adopt high pressure stamp or resin transfer mold technique to prepare fiber reinforced polymer materials; Then cracking in high temperature inert environment, obtains low density carbon based composites (C
f/ C); Finally adopt melt Si under vacuum by the wicking action processing of infiltrating, Si melt is reacted with carbon base body and generates SiC matrix.This technique can be by adjusting C
fthe volume density of/C and porosity are controlled the density of final matrix material.The preparation cycle of LSI technique is short, cost is low, residual porosity rate is low, can prepare dead size, complex-shaped workpiece; But this technique is Shortcomings also: melt Si, when reacting with carbon base body, inevitably can react with carbon fiber, and fiber is etched and causes degradation.
The present invention has overcome above-mentioned defect.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to overcome the deficiency of above-mentioned prior art, the advantages of three kinds of techniques such as LSI, CVI and PIP is got up, provide a kind of and can either improve C
fthe problem that/SiC matrix material density is low, also can effectively hinder the preparation technology of Si to the erosion action of carbon fiber.
