Abstract
An ultrahigh frequency transparent coating material capable of withstanding high temperatures, comprises a homogeneous mixture of a fluoro polymer such as polytetrafluoroethylene and less than approximately 10% (e.g. 0.6 to 6%) by weight of molybdenum disuiphide and optionally another fluoro polymer or copolymer. The powdered mixture is converted into a coating by single or double compression moulding or isotactic moulding, e.g. to make a coating for a radome in a mould as in the drawing; a heated die (10) and a punch (16) form the powder therebetween into a nose cone shape under heat and pressure. This coating material is particularly resistant to rain-erosion and can be employed especially for the manufacture of radomes for flying devices such as missiles.
Description
ULTRAHIGH FREQUENCY TRANSPARENT POLYMERIC COATING
MATERIAL AND SHAPED PRODUCTS THEREOF.
The invention reLates to a material which is transparent to so-caLled "uLtrahigh frequency" waves and to shaped products thereof for use as coatings of radomes.
The radomes of flying devices must be made of a material of this kind. Where a missile is involved, the material must first and foremost withstand a very high temperature for a short time, without meLting or being partLy converted into carbon, since this would destroy its transparency to ultrahigh frequencies. To perform their protective functions, missiLe radomes must withstand high temperatures and thermaL shocks.
In particular, they must withstand erosion phe-nomena, and particuLarLy "rain-erosion", which is the erosive effect of raindrops at a high veLocity in terms of Mach number.
For this purpose, United States Patents Nos. 4,364,884 and 4,851,833 describe the use of polytetra-fLuoroethylene (PTFE) fiLled with specially oriented, very fine glass fibres. In these patents it is consid-ered to be impossible to obtain directly a single-piece radome fiLled with gLass fibres. The radome is there-fore made in slices or "biscuits", which are then welded to each other using diffusion. It is pointed out there- in, furthermore, that generally PTFE, by itseLf or fiL- led, cannot be used since it does not withstand rain-eros ion.
Under these conditions, the objective of the present invention is to provide a material which is simpLer to use than those in the abovementioned United States Patents.
A further object of the invention is to provide a material suitable for the direct production of a radome blank in one piece.
Another object of the invention is to provide a material which can subsequently be machined to the de-sired shape, and which is also capable of being prepared so as to adhere suitably to the underlying structures of the radome.
According to a first feature, the invention pro- vides a coating material transparent to ultrahigh fre-quency and capable of withstanding high temperatures, of the type comprising a fluoro poLymer such as poLytetra-fluoroethylene (PTFE) According to the essential characteristic of the invention, this material also contains molybdenum disulphide CMoS2), in a proportion of less than approximateLy 10% by weight.
It has surprisingly been found that the fact of filling a fluoro poLymer such as poLytetrafLuoroethyLene with moLybdenum disuiphide makes it possibLe to obtain, in a particularly simpLe manner, a coating material which is transparent to ultrahigh frequency and which withstands rain-erosion.
Furthermore, a material of this kind has the ad-vantage of making possible the direct production of a radome bLank in a singLe piece, it being possible for this blank to be subsequently easily machined and given the desired shape.
Advantageously, the proportion of molybdenum di-suLphide is between 0.6 and 6% and is preferabLy equal to approximateLy 3%, relative to the weight of the material.
The material of the invention may also comprise, as additives, other fLuoro polymers or copolymers, for exampLe polyfLuoroalkoxide (PFA).
Apart from poLyfluoroaLkoxide, it is also pos-sibLe to add as additives, for example, a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and of hexafLuoropropene (HFE) -In another aspect, the subject of the invention is a radome, such as a missile radome, equipped with a material such as defined above.
In the accompanying drawing: The single figure is a diagrammatic sect ion of a device for the manufacture of a radome blank in one piece, by means of a coating material according to the invention.
As indicated before, the material of the inven-tion essentially comprises a fluoro polymer such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and molybdenum disuL-phide (MoS2), and, if appropriate, other fluoro polymers or copoLymers as additives.
ALL these compounds are availabLe commercially in the form of powders of various particle sizes. In particular, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is marketed, particularly under the trademark "Teflon" by Dupont de Nemours -To prepare a coating material according to the invention, the initial operation is to mix the fluoro polymer, for example PTFE, the molybdenum disulphide and, where appropriate, one or more of the additives mentioned earlier. This operation must be carried out carefully, in a suitabLe mixer, so that a perfectly homogeneous mixture of the various constituents is ob-tamed.
When this mixing has been carried out, a powdery materiaL is obtained, which is ready for use for the maiiufacture of a radome blank or other desired shaped product.
To convert this powder into a continuous coating material, one can use any of the various processes known ii the technology of sintering fluoro polymers, particu- larly such as PTFE. There are essentially three sinter-ing processes, namely the process known as "single corn-press ion", the process known as "double compression" and the process known as "isostatic moulding".
Whatever the type of process employed, the conversion of the powder into a continuous material is produced by combined application of pressure and heat-i ng.
In the "single compression" process, the powder is first compressed and the temperature is then raised to cause the material to sinter. In the "double com-pression" process, a compression operation and heating are applied simultaneously.
In either of the above two processes, the powder is compressed between a die forming a mould and a punch, so as to obtain the required shape.
In the process known as "isostatic moulding", the compression of the material takes place within an outer skin so as to obtain better pressure distribution over the whole moulded article.
The attached drawing shows, by way of example, a device for the manufacture of a radome blank as a singLe piece from a material of the invention as defined above.
Essentially, this device comprises a die 10 de- fining internally a moulding cavity 12 whose shape cor-responds substantially to the outer shape of the radome, within the thickness of the coating. This die 10 is surrounded by suitable heating means 14.
The device also comprises a punch 16 of suitable shape, which is mounted on the end of a rod 18 so as move along the axis X-X and which is equipped with an annular lip 20.
Thus there is manufactured a radome blank whose shape corresponds substantially to that of a nose cone and, in the moulding position, the gap which separates the wall delimiting the moulding cavity 12 and the outer wall of the punch 16 is substantially constant.
The device shown in the diagram is used as fol-lows. The powdered material prepared as indicated above is introduced into the intermediate space between the die 10 and the punch 16. This material is then sin-tered by the application of pressure, by means of the rod 18 actuating the punch 16 and by the application of temperature, using the heating means 14, the presence of the lip 20 contributing to an increase in the pressure to which the powder is subjected. In this step, the pressure may be applied first of alL at the beginning, heating being applied later, or else pressure and heat-ing may be applied simultaneously.
This makes it possible to cause the material to sinter and thus to obtain a radome blank in one piece.
When this operation of sintering and cooling the blank is complete, the latter may be demoulded by moving the punch 16 away from the die 10, by a displacement in the direction of the axis X-X.
By way of example, a mixture of PTFE such as is sold under tha raiistted.. Trade Mark "Teflon _7U and of commercial molybdenum suLphide powder may be employed, without any other additive, to form the material of the inventiOn.
The mean particle diameter of the molybdenum sulphide may be of the order of one micrometre (i.im), for example equal to 1 Mm. The molybdenum sulphide represents 3% by weight of the mixture in this exampLe. These two mater-ials are mixed and the mixture thus obtained is poured into a mould such as that shown in the drawing.
Sintering of the mixture is obtained by a "double compression" process by applying a maximum pressure of 300 bars and a maximum temperature of 380 C for the time needed for the polymerization, which is of the order of several hours When the polymerization is complete, a stabilization cycLe is applied with a reduc-tiOn of temperature, before the blank is demoulded. The single-piece blank thus obtained is then machined exter-nalLy and internally to the desired shape.
The latter may be prepared internally so as to adhere suitably to the structures underlying the radome.
A preparation of this kind is well known in the field of fluoro polymers such as polytetrafluoroethylene, to make it possible for such materials to adhere to supporting structures.
It has been found that when a preparation of this kind is used, the blank machined and prepared in this manner can then be bonded onto the structure under-Lying the radome, such as a complex composite structure resistant to high temperature, of the glass-polyimide type.
The underLying structure made in the desired shape is then attached by adhesive bonding, to the machined and prepared bLank, such as defined pre-viously.
Thus the material of the invention is suitable for the manufacture of radomes of various shapes, this being done by a simple moulding operation, followed by an operation of machining the desired shape.
Radomes equipped with a coating material accord-ing to the invention withstand rain-erosion particuLarly well, and do so at high velocities which can reach or exceed Mach 4.
