Definitions
- the invention relates to the densification of porous substrates with pyrolytic carbon, or pyrocarbon (PyC), deposited within the porosity of the substrates by chemical vapor infiltration.
- pyrolytic carbon or pyrocarbon (PyC)
- a particular field of application of the invention is the production of parts made of composite material by densification of porous fibrous substrates, in particular of carbon fiber substrates, by a PyC matrix obtained by chemical vapor infiltration. We then obtain parts made of carbon / carbon composite material (C / C). Because of its thermostructural properties, the C / C composite material is suitable for the production of structural parts liable in service to be exposed to high temperatures, in particular parts of propulsion or structural assemblies in the aerospace field. The friction characteristics of C / C composite materials also make them suitable for constituting friction parts for brakes and clutch, in particular brake discs for aircraft or land vehicles.
- the chemical vapor infiltration process (or CVI process for "Chemical Vapor Infiltration”) is well known. It consists in placing one or more porous substrates to be densified inside an oven into which a reaction gas phase is introduced, at least one component of which is a precursor of the matrix material to be deposited within the porosity of the substrates. The flow, temperature and pressure conditions are determined to allow the gas phase to diffuse within the porosity of the substrates and to form the desired deposit there by decomposition of one of its constituents or by reaction between several constituents.
- a reaction gas phase containing one or more gaseous hydrocarbons capable of giving a carbon deposit by decomposition.
- a typical example of a reaction gas phase is a mixture of methane and propane in which propane acts as a "dopant" main source of PyC and methane essentially acts as a diluent, promoting the diffusion of the gas phase in the porosity of the substrates and also providing a fraction of the deposited PyC.
- the CVI PyC process (PyC matrix deposition by CVI) is generally carried out at a temperature between 950 ° C and 1100 ° C, under a pressure of less than 10 kPa.
- CVI PyC processes There are several CVI PyC processes, including the isothermal process and the temperature gradient process.
- the substrates to be densified are maintained at all times at a substantially uniform temperature throughout their volume.
- a drawback of this process lies in the impossibility, in practice, of achieving uniform densification. Indeed, the matrix material tends to deposit preferentially within the porosity close to the external surface of the substrate. The progressive obstruction of the surface porosity makes access to the reaction gas phase within the substrate increasingly difficult with, as a result, a densification gradient between the surface and the core of the substrate. It can certainly be carried out one or more times of surface machining or peeling of the substrate during the densification process in order to reopen the surface porosity.
- the temperature gradient can be obtained by placing one or more substrates around a susceptor coupled to an inductor with an internal face of the substrate or substrates in contact with the susceptor.
- the substrates are heated both by coupling with a susceptor and by direct coupling with the substrates as the densification front progresses.
- Means are provided for continuously measuring the change in weight of the substrates in order to monitor the progress of the densification process.
- the process can be optimized, in particular with regard to its duration, by action on densification parameters, in particular the power supplied to the inductor. Monitoring the variation in weight of the substrates also makes it possible to determine the end of the densification process.
- the temperature gradient process certainly makes it possible to obtain less heterogeneous densification, in comparison with the isothermal process, but can only be implemented with substrates of particular shape, in particular annular substrates.
- a variation in the densification parameters throughout a CVI process is envisaged in document US 6,001,419.
- the aim pursued in this document is to control the microstructure of the material deposited.
- PyC it is known in fact that by modifying the infiltration conditions, it is possible in particular to obtain a pyrocarbon of the smooth laminar, dark laminar, rough laminar or isotropic type.
- the microstructure of pyrocarbon is an important characteristic with regard to the properties of the densified substrate.
- a rough laminar type microstructure is often sought, in particular because of its ability to be graphitized by heat treatment.
- the object of the invention is to allow real-time control or modeling (or predefinition) of a process for densifying porous substrates with pyrolytic carbon in order to optimize the infiltration parameters in the aim in particular to reduce the total duration of densification.
- the invention relates more particularly to the realization of such a command or of such modeling in an auto-adaptive manner taking into account the real conditions of the course of the chemical infiltration process in the vapor phase.
- a method comprising: housing in a furnace a load comprising one or more porous substrates to be densified; heating the substrate (s); the admission into the oven of a reaction gas phase containing at least one carbon precursor hydrocarbon; adjusting the pressure in the oven to allow the gas phase to diffuse within the porosity of the heated substrate (s) in order to form a deposit of pyrolytic carbon therein; and extracting effluent gases from the oven by an extraction pipe connected to an outlet from the oven; process according to which, in accordance with the invention, the content of the effluent gases is measured in at least one compound chosen from alien, propyne and benzene; and, as a function of the content measured, the process is controlled by adjusting at least one parameter chosen from: the flow rate of reaction gas phase admitted into the furnace, the flow rate of at least one constituent of the gas phase admitted into the oven, the heating temperature of the substrate (s), the pressure prevailing in the oven, and the residence time of the gas phase in the oven.
- the method according to the invention allows real-time optimization of the process leading to a reduction in the total duration of the process until a desired density is obtained.
- the method according to the invention allows, for a given densification cycle, a substantial saving of energy necessary for heating and consumption of reaction gas phase.
- the process control is advantageously carried out so as to maintain the content measured at a substantially constant value.
- the content of alien, propyne or benzene can be measured in a pipe bypassing the exhaust gas extraction pipe.
- the measurement can be carried out for example by gas chromatography.
- control is carried out by adjusting the flow rate of the reaction gas phase or the flow rate of a constituent of the gas phase as a function of the content of alien or propyne measured.
- control is carried out by adjusting the temperature, the pressure or the residence time of the gas phase, as a function of the benzene content measured.
- the gas phase comprises at least one pyrolytic carbon precursor preferably chosen from alkanes, alkynes and alkenes, and more particularly propane, butane and ethane diluted in methane or natural gas; or in an inert gas, for example nitrogen.
- pyrolytic carbon precursor preferably chosen from alkanes, alkynes and alkenes, and more particularly propane, butane and ethane diluted in methane or natural gas; or in an inert gas, for example nitrogen.
- the end of the densification process is detected by the impossibility of controlling the evolution of the content measured by adjusting the chosen parameter. We can thus determine the duration of the densification process.
- the method according to the invention makes it possible to control in real time and in an auto-adaptive manner the densification conditions of one or more substrates in a chemical vapor infiltration installation.
- the method according to the invention makes it possible, by carrying out one or more initial densification cycles, to carry out a modeling of the densification process.
- the model or template for varying the parameter (s) thus predefined is memorized so that it can then be applied to loads of similar substrates without having to analyze the effluent gases.
- the duration of the densification process possibly determined during the modeling step can also be memorized.
- FIG. 7 is a curve illustrating the control of the densification process by variation of the mass flow rate of a constituent of the gas phase, from the measurement of the content of the effluent gases in alien and propyne; and
- FIG. 8 is a curve illustrating the control of the densification process by variation of the temperature on the basis of the measurement of the content of the effluent gases in benzene.
- FIG. 1 A chemical vapor infiltration installation is shown very schematically in FIG. 1.
- Porous substrates 10 to be densified are housed inside an oven 12 comprising a cylindrical side wall 14, a bottom 16 and a cover 18.
- the wall 14 is made of graphite and forms a susceptor inductively coupled with an inductor 20 separate from the wall 14 by an insulator
- the assembly is housed in a metal envelope (not shown).
- the substrates 10 are for example annular carbon fiber preforms.
- the preforms are arranged in a vertical stack, being separated from each other by wedges.
- a reaction gas phase is admitted into the oven by a supply pipe 24 connected to an inlet orifice opening in the bottom 16. At the bottom of the oven, the gas phase passes through a preheating zone 11 before reach the zone 13 for loading the substrates 10.
- the preheating zone comprises, for example, several perforated trays of graphite which are brought to the temperature of the oven. In contact with these plates, the reaction gas phase is preheated before reaching the loading area.
- the effluent gases are extracted through an outlet opening opening in the cover 18 and connected to an extraction pipe 26.
- a valve 29 mounted on line 26 allows the pressure level in the oven to be adjusted.
- One or more purification devices, in particular a tar trap can be mounted on the pipe 26 upstream of the suction device.
- the reaction gas phase consists of a gas mixture, the constituents of which are stored in tanks 30, 32. It is possible, for example, to use a gas phase consisting of a mixture of methane (CH 4 ) and propane (C3H 8 ). Propane, or doping gas, then constitutes the main precursor of pyrolytic carbon or pyrocarbon (PyC) by a process of decomposition under the conditions of temperature and pressure prevailing in the furnace. Methane has a diluent function promoting the diffusion of the gas phase within the porosity of the substrates and also contributes to a lesser extent, to the formation of PyC.
- Valves 34, 36 are mounted on conduits 38, 40 connecting the tanks 30, 32 of methane and propane to the supply line so as to be able to regulate the respective mass flow rates of methane and propane.
- the valves 34, 36 are controlled by a control circuit 42. This is also connected to a circuit 44 for supplying current to the inductor 20, in order to control the heating power of the oven, and to the valve 29 in order to order the pressure in the oven.
- the oven is provided with temperature and pressure sensors (not shown) supplying the control circuit 42 with signals representative of the temperature and of the pressure in the oven.
- the temperature sensor can be constituted by at least one optical pyrometer supported by the cover 18 and measuring the surface temperature of the substrates.
- the pressure sensor can be housed at the outlet of the oven.
- a pipe 46 is connected in diversion to the extraction pipe 26.
- a device 48 is mounted on the pipe 46 between two valves 47 and 49 in order to measure the content of the effluent gases in one or more selected gaseous species representative of the kinetics of deposition of PyC within the substrates 10.
- the measurement device is for example a gas chromatography device.
- the device 48 is connected to the control circuit 42 in order to supply the latter with a signal representative of the content or the measured contents.
- the measurements are carried out periodically by opening the valves 47, 49 by the control circuit 42.
- the chemical vapor infiltration process depends on a set of parameters, including:
- the alien aC 3 H 4 , the propyne pC 3 H 4 and the benzene C ô He have contents which are representative of the kinetics of formation of PyC and vary significantly as a function of one or more of the aforementioned densification parameters.
- Tests were carried out by means of an installation of the type of that of FIG. 1 but of reduced size compared to an industrial installation, the volume V R of the furnace being 640 cm 3 , of which 50 cm 3 corresponds to the zone preheating.
- the porous substrates used for the tests were annular fibrous structures made of carbon fibers with an outside diameter equal to 35 mm, an inside diameter equal to 15 mm and a thickness equal to 15 mm.
- the initial porosity volume ratio of the substrates that is to say the fraction of the apparent volume of the substrates occupied by the porosity was approximately 80%, giving the substrates an initial density approximately equal to 0.4.
- the substrates were arranged in a vertical stack, being separated from each other by graphite shims of thickness equal to 3 mm, without sealing the intervals between substrates.
- the substrates were obtained by cutting from plates formed of superposed fibrous strata bonded together by needling.
- Each layer was in the form of a multidirectional ply consisting of two unidirectional plies, that is to say formed of filamentary elements arranged parallel to the same direction, the unidirectional plies being superimposed in different directions and linked together by needling. lightweight. It will be noted that this type of fibrous structure is well known in the field of the manufacture of brake discs made of C / C composite material.
- Vapor infiltration processes have been carried out with substrates at different stages of densification and, in each case, with different loadings.
- the process parameters were set as follows: reaction gas phase consisting of a CH4 / C3H8 mixture in respective volume proportions 0.9 / 0.1, temperature equal to approximately 1000 ° C, pressure approximately equal to 1.3 kPa and time of stay approximately equal to 1 s.
- Table I below indicates the total content of alien and propyne measured for substrates of different densities ranging from 0.4 to 1.55, that is to say going from substrates at the start of densification to substrates at the end of densification, and for different m 0 / V R ratios, m 0 being the initial total mass of the substrates loaded in the oven and V R the volume of the oven.
- the overall alien and propyne content is expressed as a volume percentage in effluent gases.
- FIGS. 2 to 6 also show, in dotted lines, the curves representing the variation of 1 / R as a function of m 0 / V R , R being the deposition kinetics which is expressed in g / h. It can be seen that the overall C3H4 content varies in the opposite direction to the deposition kinetics and that there is a correlation between deposition kinetics and measured content. We also note that the relationship between mass of substrates and overall content of C 3 H 4 is still verified, but less markedly, when the density increases, the influence of the mass of substrates on the overall content of C3H4 and on the deposition kinetics being less for high substrate densities.
- Tests 2 The procedure was the same as for tests 1, with the exception of the residence time which is brought to approximately 2 s.
- Table II below indicates the total content measured in C3H4 for the same different loadings as in tests 1.
- the procedure is as for tests 1, with the exception of the residence time which is reduced to 0.75 and the temperature which is 1050 ° C.
- Table III below indicates the overall content measured in C 3 H 4 for the same different loadings as in tests 1.
- Table V below indicates the overall content of C 3 H 4 measured for the same different loadings as in tests 1. 14
- Table VI below indicates the overall content of C3H4 measured for the same different loadings as in tests 1.
- Example 2 The procedure was as in Example 1, but operating at a temperature of approximately 950 ° C under a pressure of approximately 1.9 kPa.
- Table VII below indicates the overall value measured in C3H4 for the same different loadings as in test 1.
- Example 7 The procedure was as in Example 7, but operating under a pressure of approximately 1 kPa.
- Table VIII below indicates the overall value measured in C3H4 for the same loadings as in test 1.
- the CVI PyC methods are traditionally implemented with fixed values of the densification parameters.
- an intermediate value is usually chosen between a first value which would be the optimal value which can be used at the start of the densification process, when the porosity of the substrates is easily accessible, and a second value which would be the optimal value which can be used when the diffusion of the reaction gas phase within the porosity of the substrates becomes less easy.
- These optimal values are in particular dictated by the type of PyC microstructure desired.
- the reaction gas phase flow rate the dopant level in the gas phase, the temperature and pressure
- the first value is greater than the second.
- the residence time of the gas phase it is the reverse.
- the deposition kinetics would be low and the duration of the process would be lengthened.
- a value equal to or very close to the optimal value were chosen at the start of the process, this would not contribute to increasing the deposition kinetics at the end of the process, the deposition kinetics then being essentially dependent on the diffusion , but would lead, on the one hand, to increasing the risk of premature blockage of the porosity by surface deposits and, on the other hand, to favor the deposit of PyC of undesirable microstructure, even the deposit of undesirable products such as soot.
- the species concerned are alien, propyne and benzene.
- the tests reported above show the influence of the residence time and the temperature on the C3H4 content.
- Other tests carried out in the absence of loading have shown that the content of alien and propyne measured is sensitive to the content of dopant in the gaseous, reaction phase, at the mass flow rate thereof, and that the content measured in benzene is sensitive to temperature.
- the adjustment is preferably carried out within a range of values.
- the maximum value is that which can be set at the start of the densification process. It is chosen in particular according to the porosity characteristics of the substrates to be densified and the type of PyC microstructure. wish. The minimum value is that below which it is not desirable or useful to fall at the end of the densification process.
- reaction gas phase containing methane and one or more doping gases, in particular propane, butane or ethane, a volume content of dopant of between 0% and 70%, or even between 0% and 100%, the reaction gas phase can be constituted only dopant at the very start of densification.
- doping gases propane, butane or ethane
- the overall flow rate of the reaction gas phase it is also dictated by the mass of fibrous substrates to be densified, to ensure that each substrate is supplied with the reaction gas phase.
- the deposition kinetics, at the start of the densification process is dictated more by the densification parameters than by the diffusion capacity of the reaction gas phase within the substrates, we will preferably choose as starting value, for the or each variable parameter, the maximum value in the preset range, or a value close to this maximum value, except for the residence time for which the minimum value or a value close to this minimum value will be chosen.
- the process control is then carried out so as to maintain the content of alien, propyne and / or benzene at a value substantially constant and equal to that measured at the start of the densification process.
- This reference value may be that measured after several hours, or an average value of several measurements performed at the start of the process, in order to wait for the process to stabilize. Due to the slow evolution of the process, there is no need to continuously measure the monitored content. Periodic measurement, for example at intervals of 0.25 to 1 hour may be sufficient.
- Maintaining the measured content at a substantially constant value can be satisfied as long as the measured content remains within a range [T-20%, T + 20%], where T is the reference value established at the start of the process, In practice, maintaining the content measured at a substantially constant value leads to a gradual decrease in the densification parameter (s) adjusted during the process, except for the residence time, which increases.
- the end of the densification process can be detected when it is impossible to maintain the measured content at a substantially constant value by adjusting the variable parameter or parameters chosen, within the predetermined variation range. In practice, there is then generally observed an uncontrollable increase in the content measured. It is possible to choose to fix the end of the densification process when the measured content exceeds a predetermined threshold chosen equal to or greater than the upper limit of the authorized range for this content.
- Example 9 A reaction gas phase containing a CH4 / C3H8 mixture was used.
- the CVI PyC process was carried out by adjusting the temperature inside the oven to a value equal to approximately 1000 ° C, the pressure to a value approximately equal to 1.3 kPa and the residence time to 1 ⁇ 0.30 s, the variation in the residence time being directly linked to the variations in flow rate.
- the content of the alien and propyne effluent gases (overall content of C 3 H 4 was measured periodically and the level of C3H8 in the gas phase was adjusted by controlling the valve 36 by means of the control unit 42 in order to maintain the measured content substantially equal to 0.2
- the dopant level that is to say the molar percentage of C 3 H 8 in the reaction gas phase had to be set at 50% at the start of the process.
- FIG. 7 shows the evolution over time of the content measured in C3H 4 and of the level of dopant C3H8. It can be seen that maintaining the overall content of C3H4 at a substantially constant value has led to a gradual reduction in the dopant level until reaching a value of approximately 5% at the end of the densification process.
- Example 10 A reaction gas phase was used containing a CH4 / C4H10 mixture with a volume proportion of dopant of 10%.
- the CVI PyC process was carried out by setting the pressure in the oven to a value of approximately 1.0 kPa and the residence time to a value of approximately 1 s.
- the benzene (C 6 H 6 ) content of the effluent gases was measured periodically and the temperature in the oven was adjusted by controlling the supply circuit 44 by the control circuit 42 in order to keep the measured content substantially constant. and equal to the value measured at the start of the densification process.
- the temperature was set at 1100 ° C at the start of the process.
- FIG. 8 shows the evolution over time of the content of C ⁇ H ⁇ and of the temperature. It can be seen that maintaining the measured content has led to a gradual decrease in temperature to a value equal to around 950 ° C. at the end of the densification process.
- a CVI PyC process was carried out under the same conditions, with the exception of the temperature which was maintained constant and equal to around 1000 ° C. The time required to reach a density of approximately 1.6 was 30% higher compared to the CVI PyC process at changing temperature.
- Examples 9 and 10 confirm the effectiveness of the process according to the invention in reducing the densification time by optimizing the CVI PyC process. This reduction in duration is accompanied by a reduction in the quantity of reaction gas phase consumed and a reduction in the emission of certain products, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, in the effluent gases.
- the method according to the invention is suitable for carrying out a control or piloting in real time of the densification process by measuring the alien, propyne and / or benzene content in the effluent gases and adjusting at least one densification parameter.
- the method according to the invention is also suitable for modeling a densification process for a given installation of chemical vapor infiltration and for a typical loading of substrates to be densified.
- the method is implemented with adjustment of at least one densification parameter as a function of the measured content of alien, propyne and / or benzene.
- the variation of the or each densification parameter set is memorized, as well as the duration of the densification process.
- the model thus established is then reproduced during the densification process of the same types of substrate loading, repeating the variation of the same densification parameter (s) and over the same duration as during the modeling cycle (s) .
