Definitions

  • step c is carried out in a threadline operation.
  • step c is carried out completely integrated with the above steps a and b as explained in Example 3 hereinbelow. That means that the infusibilized PAN fiber is heatged on a bobbin first according to the requirement of step a, thereafter according to the requirement of step b and finally according to the requirement of step c.
  • Step c is preferably carried out in an inert atmosphere.
  • the cylindrical body of the bobbin can have an inside diameter of 7.62 cm and an outside diameter of about 8.89 cm with an overall length of about 27.94 cm.
  • the heat treatment of the fibers on the bobbins conveniently allows the bulk heat treatment of a large amount of fibers, at a relatively slow rate of increase in temperature to an elevated final temperature.
  • the surprising advantage of this heat treatment is that both the rate of reduction in nitrogen content of the fibers and the final nitrogen content are much lower as to compared to a heat treatment to the same final temperature using a conventional threadline arrangement.
  • the subsequent threadline heat treatment can be carried out at a high rate of movement of the yarn through the heating unit even if a considerably elevated temperature is used.
  • This threadline treatment straightens out the fibers and establishes the final fiber mechanical properties.
  • the first heat treatment is carried out by increasing the temperature at the rate of about 50°C for an hour from room temperature to about 800°C and thereafter increasing the temperature at a rate of 250°C per hour until the predetermined maximum temperature is reached and the maximum temperature is maintained for an additional two hours.
  • the maximum temperature is maintained in order to give all of the fibers on the bobbin the opportunity to reach a temperature equilibrium.
  • the first step is a carbonising in a threadline to a temperature of about 1300°C while the second step is a threadline operation at a higher temperature to improve the mechanical properties of the resulting carbon yarn.
  • Fig. 1 shows the weight percent of the aforementioned gases and carbon as a result of a first heat treatment in accordance with the invention.
  • the reduction in nitrogen content is particularly important because the loss of nitrogen during a subsequent threadline heat treatment at a higher temperature can result in serious degradation of the fibers.
  • the package was placed horizontally in a graphite tube induction furnace which was purged with nitrogen and fired at the rate of 50°C per hour to 800°C and thereafter temperature was raised at 250°C per hour to 1300°C. The final temperature was maintained for two hours and the package was allowed to cool back to room temperature. As a result of the heat treatment, the package had shrunk longitudinally about 3.81 cm to 5.08 cm from its original 25.4 cm length. The elemental nitrogen content was 0.9%.
  • the average tensile strength of the resulting fiber was 3447.10 3 kPa with a coefficient of variation of 1.3%.
  • the average Young's modulus for the resulting fiber was about 284.10 6 kPa with a coefficient of variation of 2.9%.
  • the average density of the fibers was 1.766 Mg per cubic meter with a coefficient of variation of 0.6%.
  • the average yield was 2397 m per kg with a coefficient of variation of 2.1%.
  • the carbon yarn obtained had an excellent appearance and was equivalent in quality to a carbon yarn produced by carbonizing with two separate threadlines in accordance with the prior art.
  • the second heat treatment was different in this example for Example 1 in that the furnace temperature was held at 2460°C, the take off tension was 100 grams, the line tension was 1950 grams, the line speed was 2134 cm per minute, and only water was applied to the carbon yarn instead of a finish.
  • the average properties of the fibers so obtained was a tensile strength of 2482.10 3 kPa, Young's modulus of 668.10 6 kPa, density of 2.080 Mg per cubic meter, and a yield of 2832 m per kg.
  • the reduction in strength over the values obtained from Example 1 indicates that new flaws were introduced during the subsequent thermal processing and handling.
