Definitions

  • the present invention relates to fibre reinforced ceramic materials, their uses and methods for their 5 manufacture.
  • Fibre reinforced ceramic materials are known in themselves and it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved method of manufacturing such materials. It is a further object of the invention 0 to provide such a material having superior strength and heat insulating properties at possibly lower specific weights.
  • a method for manufacturing a fibre reinforced ceramic material comprises forming 5 a pre-form of ceramic fibres, tape or mat, applying a ceramic slip to the pre-form, causing the slip material to impregnate the pre-form by applying a pressure differentia and driving off the slip liquid;
  • ceramic slip being used in this context to refer to a slurry 20. of ceramic material finely dispersed in a liquid carrier medium, the ceramic material of the slip incorporating silicon nitride or silicon powder which is subsequently converted to silicon nitride.
  • the ceramic fibres are preferably of alumina, 25. (such as that sold under the Trade Mark SAFFIL), kaowool, silicon carbide, silicon nitride or zirconia. They may of course comprise a combination of some of these materials.
  • the slip material may also comprise one or more of these materials and may incorporate yttrium 30. oxide (Y 0-.), magnesium oxide (MgO), chromium oxide
  • a preferred slip composition might be 10 % Y 2 °3' 3% M ⁇ 3 C0 3' 2% W0 3' 1 - 5% si0 2' the balance being silicon nitride or zirconia, or alternatively the W0 3 might be replaced by Cr-O-.
  • the silicon nitride is replaced by silicon powder which is converted to silicon nitride at a later stage by a method known as the reaction bondinq process.
  • the preform is located within a mould, for example of plaster for the slip impregnation step.
  • the pressure differential applied may be in the form of a high pressure applied to the slip to force it into the preform, or alternatively a pressure below ambient may be applied to the preform to draw the slip into the interstices. Naturally, a combination of these alternatives may be used.
  • the slip liquid is water.
  • Fibre reinforced ceramic materials made in accordance with the invention tend to be very strong, light in weight and highly resistant to suddent impacts, particularly when silicon nitride and/or zirconia are used.
  • the thickness of the preform and the amount of slip applied are arranged so that the preform is impregnated over a part only of its thickness, leaving a portion unfilled, and a molten metal is then applied under pressure to the unfilled portion to impregnate it and allowed to solidify (a so-called "squeeze-casting" process).
  • the present invention extends to such a ceramic/ metal fibre reinforced composite material.
  • Figures 4 to 8 are five similar successive stages according to a second embodiment for manufacturing a piston with a ceramic fibre reinforced crown
  • Figures 9 and 10 are two similar stages according to a third embodiment for producing a piston with a ceramic fibre reinforced crown with a combustion bowl, and
  • Figure 11 is a cutaway isometric sketch of a part of a further embodiment.
  • a preform 11 made up of a bundle of silicon nitride fibres having a diameter of between 1 and 5 micrometers and a length 100 to 1000 times their diameter is located in a mould
  • a slip 14 comprising an aqueous slurry of 10% Y 2 °3' 3% M 9 0 _ > 2% w0 3 * 1 - 5% 5 SiOfact, the balance being silicon powder, is then placed in the mould 12 above the preform 11.
  • the slip material has a particle size in the range 2-1Oum.
  • the ceramic preform body 15 so formed is then removed from the mould 12 and allowed to dry in air for 24 hours, after which it is heated to 380°C in air for 12 hours which converts the MgCO, to MgO.
  • the preform 15 is then heated to 1100°C in argon for
  • 20 formed may be achieved by further heating in a nitrogen atmosphere at 1750°C. Any binding agent present in the preform will be removed during one of the heating steps.
  • the impregnated preform is then subjected to heat treatment as in the previous embodiment and placed in a piston mould 23 and, after any machining that may be necessary, a molten piston alloy 24 is introduced as shown in Figure 7.
  • the piston 25 is formed by a squeeze castin step in which a high pressure of perhaps 200 to 300 tons is applied to the alloy while it is allowed to solidify. This causes the piston alloy 24 to impregnate the remaining porous portion of the preform 21 as shown at 27 in Figure 8.
  • the finished piston 25 having a crown 26 of fibre reinforced ceramic material is then removed from the mould 23.
  • the fibre reinforced material may have the form shown, or may have a re-entrant form to give mechanical retention in the piston body.
  • a preform 31 is located in a mould 32 and a ceramic slip material 33 is located in an upper cavity 34 above the preform 31.
  • the space 35 beneath the preform 31 is then subjected to a pressure reduction.
  • the slip material impregnates the preform 31 to the desired degree and the pressure reduction is then removed.
  • the part-impregnated preform is removed and partially sintered. It is then machined to shape to form a bowl 36 as shown in Figure 10 and fully sintered.
  • the finished preform is then cast into the piston by the squeeze- casting method of the previous embodiment. Some support of the bowl 36 may be required during the squeeze casting step.
  • a preform of interlocking fibres extending both axially and radially is used together with an outer cylindrical tube 44 having comb-like axial teeth 45 which surrounds the preform inside the mould 42.
  • the radially extending fibres 46 are bent down and trapped between the teeth 45, the base 43 and the mould wall 42.
