In particular, the carbon fiber reinforced carbon composite material has high strength and high elastic modulus, has high fracture toughness and is extremely resistant to thermal shock, despite being a ceramic material. Further, it has a thermal conductivity higher than that of copper. Therefore, application as a structural member used at high temperature or a material which is located closest to and interacts with plasma in the fusion reactor, that is, a so-called first wall material is being promoted.

However, a carbon material chemically reacts with hydrogen plasma to generate a hydrocarbon-based gas at a temperature of about 500 ° C., which is so much consumed by so-called chemical erosion. In addition, there is a problem that the hydrogen storage amount is large. Ceramic coating is effective in compensating for such problems. When the constituent elements of the first wall material of each fusion reactor are taken into the plasma by sputtering as impurities, the temperature of the plasma decreases, and the degree of decrease is proportional to the cube of the atomic number. Therefore, boron carbide composed of a light element is suitable as a coating material. 5 carbon materials
Oxidative consumption at 00 ° C or higher is remarkable. Therefore, it is difficult to use the carbon material at a high temperature in the oxidizing atmosphere. Boron carbide is stable even in an oxidizing atmosphere at 500 ° C. or higher, and is also effective as an oxidation resistant coating material for carbon materials.

In the VD method, as an energy source for exciting a chemical reaction,
Several methods using heat, light, plasma, microwave, etc. are known. In any of the above methods, although a dense boron carbide coating can be obtained, the adhesion of the film to the substrate is insufficient, so the film easily peels off due to the stress caused by the difference in thermal expansion between the coating and the substrate. Not suitable for use in harsh thermal environments.

More preferably, it is 1800 ° C to 2200 ° C. If the reaction temperature is too low, the reaction rate will be too slow to be practical. Further, if the reaction temperature is too high, the generated boron carbide is decomposed, which is not preferable. The reaction atmosphere is an inert gas,
The atmosphere is preferably an inert gas such as argon. Nitrogen does not significantly inhibit the reaction, but it is not preferable because it forms a nitride. After the reaction, it is preferable to cool the furnace to an appropriate temperature before taking it out.

The reaction formula of boron and carbon is as shown in the following formula (2). 4B + C → B 4 C (2) The reaction temperature is 1800 ° C. to 2500 ° C., preferably 2
The temperature is from 000 ° C to 2400 ° C. The reaction of formula (2) is a reaction between solid carbon and boron, but it also proceeds between carbon and boron in a mixture solid of boron carbide and carbon. The reaction proceeds even if the boiling point of boron exceeds 2450 ° C., but the consumption at a temperature higher than 2450 ° C. is not preferable because the consumption of boron as a raw material increases. On the other hand, if the temperature exceeds 2400 ° C, the generated boron carbide is decomposed and the boron is evaporated, which is not preferable. This reaction is carried out in an inert gas atmosphere. If a minute amount of hydrocarbon-based gas is present in the reaction atmosphere, this gas reacts with boron, and the surface of the boron powder or the boron film becomes boron carbide faster than the inside of the boron powder or the boron film. It is not preferable that a hydrocarbon-based gas be present in the reaction system because the adhesiveness will be impaired. . The heating rate is not particularly limited. A reaction time of about 30 minutes is sufficient.

The form of boron used in the reaction is not particularly limited, and it may be in the form of powder or film. However, it is preferable that the coating is uniformly distributed on the coating made of a mixture of carbon and boron carbide because a uniform coating can be easily obtained. For example, when powdered boron is used, a liquid that does not react with boron at room temperature, for example, is dispersed in alcohol to form a slurry, and this slurry is evenly applied on the coating by a method such as spraying or brushing, and then The liquid may be removed by a method such as evaporation. When a boron film is used, a commonly used film forming method such as a sputtering method, a vapor phase chemical vapor deposition method, or a thermal spraying method can be adopted. Since 99% by weight or more of the boron subjected to the reaction forms a coating as boron carbide, the thickness of the boron carbide coating added by the reaction with boron can be controlled by the amount of boron reacted. Almost all of the boron used in the reaction reacts, so that it is easy to control the film thickness. Further, there is little concern that the furnace will be contaminated, there is no need to prepare special equipment, and the furnace can be manufactured in a general-purpose industrial furnace. Furthermore, there is an advantage that the carbon material coated with boron carbide can be produced in a shorter time than the method using only the gas of boron oxide.

No boundary between the coating by reaction with the first boron oxide and the coating by reaction with the second boron is observed,
The adhesiveness between the two is presumed to be good. The morphology of the interface between the coating layer and the substrate is the same as the interface morphology of the comparative example, and the adhesiveness of the entire coating to the substrate is presumed to be equivalent to that of the comparative example. Since the interface between the two coatings was not clear, the thickness of the coating added by the reaction with boron was estimated from the difference from the film thickness of the comparative example. As a result, the thickness of the coating due to the reaction with boron was about 50 μm when the applied boron was 5 mg / cm 2 , and about 100 μm when 10 mg / cm 2 was applied.
At 0 mg / cm 2 , it was about 200 μm and the coating thickness could be controlled by the amount of boron applied. 99% by weight or more of the boron used in the reaction formed a coating as boron carbide.

FIG. 3 shows the measurement results of a sample using a unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced carbon composite material as a base material. FIG. 4 shows the measurement results of a sample using a felt type carbon fiber reinforced carbon composite material as a base material. The diffraction pattern of the coating showed that it consisted of boron carbide and carbonization. The ratio of the strongest diffraction peak intensity of carbon to that of boron carbide is 42.4% in the unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced carbon composite material (Fig. 3),

In the sample cross section cut perpendicular to the coating, the thickness of the coating layer changes irregularly and greatly depending on the location, and macroscopically, the amount of carbon and boron carbide near the interface goes from the inside to the surface. It has a continuously changing tilt function. This gradient function is not lost with the addition of the coating by reaction with boron, as described in the examples.

The thickness of the coating is about 200 to 300 μm when the unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced carbon composite material is used as the base material, and about 100 to 100 μm when the felt type carbon fiber reinforced carbon composite material is used as the base material. It was 200 μm. The reason why the thickness of the coating layer differs depending on the base material is not necessarily clear, but is presumed as follows. This reaction is a reaction between a gas and a solid, and it is necessary for the reaction gas to enter the inside of the substrate in order to form the coating inside the substrate. Since the fiber orientation of the unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced carbon composite material is advanced, many pores are perpendicular to the surface toward the inside of the base material. On the other hand, in the felt type carbon fiber reinforced carbon composite material,
Since the fibers are random in the laminating plane, pores are present on the surface at an angle, and the crossing of the fibers closes the pores. Therefore, it is considered that in the felt-type carbon fiber reinforced carbon composite material, the gas of boron oxide does not easily enter the inside of the base material, and the coating thickness becomes thin.
