Description

セラミック基複合材料
 本開示は、セラミック基複合材料に関する。
 本願は、2018年6月7日に日本に出願された特願2018-109789号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
 セラミック基複合材料(CMC:Ceramic Matrix Composites)は、高強度の高温材料、軽量材料として知られ、ニッケル基合金の代替として期待されている。例えばCMCを航空用ジェットエンジンの高温部に適用することにより、エンジンの軽量化および低燃費化が期待できる。航空用ジェットエンジンの高温部への適用には、耐熱性に優れる炭化ケイ素をマトリックスとして用いることが有効である。
 CMCは、例えば、化学気相成長(CVD)法又は化学気相含浸(CVI)法によって、繊維基材の各繊維の表面上に炭化ケイ素を堆積させて炭化ケイ素膜を形成する方法で製造される。特許文献1には、CHSiCl(MTS)、SiCl等の原料ガスと、H、He等のキャリアガスと、C、C等の添加ガスを反応炉に流し、CVD法又はCVI法によりセラミック繊維の表面上に炭化ケイ素膜を形成したCMCが開示されている。

 本開示の第1の態様のセラミック基複合材料は、炭化ケイ素繊維束で形成された繊維基材と、前記炭化ケイ素繊維束の各炭化ケイ素繊維の表面上に形成された炭化ケイ素膜とを有し、前記炭化ケイ素繊維束の表層の前記炭化ケイ素繊維の表面上に形成された前記炭化ケイ素膜の平均膜厚Dに対する、前記炭化ケイ素繊維束の前記表層よりも内側の内層の前記炭化ケイ素繊維の表面上に形成された前記炭化ケイ素膜の平均膜厚Dの比は1.0~1.3である。
 本開示の前記第1の態様の前記セラミック基複合材料において、前記炭化ケイ素膜の平均膜厚Dは2.6μm以上であってもよい。
 本開示のセラミック基複合材料は、機械的特性に優れている。
本開示のセラミック基複合材料の製造に用いる製造装置の一例を示した模式図である。
 本開示のセラミック基複合材料(以下、「CMC」と記す。)は、炭化ケイ素繊維束で形成された繊維基材と、炭化ケイ素繊維束の各炭化ケイ素繊維の表面上に形成された炭化ケイ素膜(SiC膜)とを有する。
 炭化ケイ素繊維束は、本開示の効果を損なわない範囲であれば、炭化ケイ素繊維に加えて、炭化ケイ素繊維以外の他の繊維を含んでもよい。他の繊維としては、アルミナ繊維、炭素繊維、ガラス繊維等が挙げられる。
 炭化ケイ素繊維束中の炭化ケイ素繊維の含有量は、炭化ケイ素繊維束に含まれる繊維の総質量に対して、90質量%以上が好ましく、95質量%以上がより好ましく、99質量%以上がさらに好ましく、100質量%が特に好ましい。
 炭化ケイ素繊維束の繊維数、繊維密度、繊維間の平均距離は、特に限定されず、適宜設定でき、例えばCMCで通常設定される範囲に設定することができる。
 繊維基材の態様は、特に限定されず、例えば、平織、綾織、朱子織、三軸織等の織物が挙げられる。
 繊維基材の形状は、特に限定されず、用途に応じて所望の形状とすることができる。
 繊維基材としては、炭化ケイ素繊維束に粉体が付着したものを用いてもよい。
 粉体としては、特に限定されず、本開示の効果を損なわない範囲で公知の粉体を使用することができる。粉体としては、1種を単独で使用してもよく、2種以上を組み合わせて使用してもよい。
 CMCでは、炭化ケイ素繊維束の表層(最外層)の炭化ケイ素繊維の表面上に形成された炭化ケイ素膜の平均膜厚Dに対する、炭化ケイ素繊維束の表層よりも内側の内層の炭化ケイ素繊維の表面上に形成された炭化ケイ素膜の平均膜厚Dの比(D/D)が、1.0~1.3である。なお、「炭化ケイ素繊維束の表層」とは、炭化ケイ素繊維束の表面(外面)から深さ20μmまでの領域を意味する。D/Dが前記範囲内であれば、炭化ケイ素繊維束の各繊維の表面に形成されたCMCは、機械的特性に優れる。
 炭化ケイ素繊維束の表層の炭化ケイ素膜の平均膜厚Dは、D/Dが前記範囲を満たす範囲であれば、適宜設定することができる。Dの値が大きいほど、機械的特性に優れる。Dの上限は、例えば、CMCの生産性の観点で設定することができる。
 炭化ケイ素繊維束の内層の炭化ケイ素膜の平均膜厚Dは、炭化ケイ素繊維束中の各繊維間の距離にもよるが、2.6μm以上が好ましい。Dが前記範囲の下限値以上であれば、機械的特性に優れる。Dの上限は、例えば、CMCの生産性の観点で設定することができる。
 本開示のCMCの製造方法は、特に限定されない。例えば、CVI法を用い、SiClまたはSiClを含有するSi源のガスと、C原子を含有するC源のガスとを反応させ、繊維基材における炭化ケイ素繊維束の各繊維の表面上に炭化ケイ素膜を形成する方法が挙げられる。前記方法は、炭化ケイ素繊維束への炭化ケイ素の含浸性に優れるため、繊維束の内層においても十分な膜厚の炭化ケイ素膜を形成できる。そのため、D/Dを前記範囲内となるように容易に制御でき、機械的特性に優れたCMCが得られる。
 Si源のガスは、SiClガスを含有し、SiClガスを含有しないガスであってもよく、SiClガスとSiClガスの両方を含有するガスであってもよい。Si源のガスがSiClガスを含有する場合、熱力学理論上、そのガスはSiClガスも含有する。なお、Si源のガスには、SiCl、SiCl等のSiClおよびSiCl以外のSi源のガスが含まれていてもよい。
 Si源のガスがSiClを含有する場合、ガスの全圧を1atm(0.1MPa)としたときのSiClガスの分圧は、適宜設定できる。例えば、SiClガスの分圧を、各繊維の表面上の炭化ケイ素膜の均一性の確保と生産性を両立する観点で設定することができる。SiClガスの分圧は、熱力学理論値の上限としてもよい。
 Si源のガスがSiClを含有する場合、ガスの全圧を1atm(0.1MPa)としたときのSiClガスの分圧は、適宜設定できる。例えば、SiClガスの分圧を、各繊維の表面上の炭化ケイ素膜の均一性の確保と生産性を両立する観点で設定することができる。SiClガスの分圧は、熱力学理論値の上限としてもよい。
 Cl源としては、Clガス、SiClガス、MTSガス等のガスが挙げられる。Cl源としては、C原子を含まない(自由な量比でC源を別途供給できる)ことから、Clガスが好ましい。Cl源としては、1種のみを単独で使用してもよく、2種以上を組み合わせて使用してもよい。
 Si源のガス中のSiClやSiClの分圧は、Si源とCl源とを接触させる温度により調節できる。
 C源としては、CH、C、C、C、C、C、CCl等の炭化水素が挙げられる。C源としては、1種のみを単独で使用してもよく、2種以上を組み合わせて使用してもよい。
 C源としては、CH、C、C、C、C、CおよびCClからなる群から選ばれる少なくとも1種の炭化水素が好ましい。
 炭化ケイ素膜の膜形成の反応には、必要に応じて、キャリアガスを使用してもよい。キャリアガスとしては、Hガス、Nガス、Heガス、Arガス等の膜形成反応に対して不活性なガスが挙げられる。キャリアガスとしては、炭化ケイ素繊維束への炭化ケイ素の含浸性が向上する点から、Hガスが好ましい。
 キャリアガスとしては、1種のみを単独で使用してもよく、2種以上を組み合わせて使用してもよい。
 炭化ケイ素膜の膜形成の反応温度は適宜設定できる。例えば、反応温度の下限は、CMCの生産性の観点で設定することができる。反応温度の上限は、各繊維の表面上に形成される炭化ケイ素膜の均一性の向上の観点で設定することができる。
 炭化ケイ素膜の膜形成の反応圧力は、0.1~20Torr(13~2660Pa)が好ましく、5~20Torr(670~2660Pa)がより好ましく、15~20Torr(2000~2660Pa)がさらに好ましい。反応圧力が前記範囲の下限値未満であれば、含浸速度が小さく、生産性を損なう可能性がある。反応圧力が前記範囲の上限値を超えると、多孔質基材への含浸性が損なわれ、高温強度が低下する可能性がある。
 CMCの製造に用いる製造装置は、特に限定されない。例えば、図1に例示した製造装置100が挙げられる。なお、以下の説明において例示される図は一例であって、本開示はそれらに必ずしも限定されるものではなく、その要旨を変更しない範囲で適宜変更して実施することが可能である。
 製造装置100は、管状の反応炉110と、Cl源供給部112と、C源供給部114と、排気ユニット116とを備えている。反応炉110には、第1反応部118と第2反応部120が、反応炉110の上流側からこの順に設けられている。
 第1反応部118は、Si源とCl源とを接触させて反応させる部分である。
 この例の第1反応部118では、通気性を有する2つの仕切り部材122,122がガスの流れ方向に間隔をあけて設けられることで反応炉110内が仕切られる。それら仕切り部材122間に固体状のSi源300(Si粉末)が充填される。仕切り部材122としては、Si粉末が通過せず、Cl源のガスおよび生成物であるSi源のガスが通過する部材であればよく、例えば、カーボンフェルトが挙げられる。
 反応炉110の第1反応部118には、Si源とCl源とを接触させる温度を調節する第1ヒータ124が設けられている。
 第2反応部120は、Si源のガスとC源のガスとを反応させ、繊維基材200の各繊維の表面上に炭化ケイ素膜を形成する部分である。第2反応部120は、Si源のガスとC源のガスとの反応により繊維の表面上に炭化ケイ素膜が形成される位置に繊維基材200を設置できるようになっていれば、その態様は特に限定されない。
 反応炉110の第2反応部120には、膜形成の反応温度を調節する第2ヒータ126が設けられている。
 Cl源供給部112は、Cl源のガスを供給する。Cl源供給部112は、反応炉110の第1反応部118の上流側にCl源のガスを供給する。
 C源供給部114は、C源のガスを供給する。C源供給部114は、反応炉110内の第1反応部118と第2反応部120の間にC源のガスを供給する。C源供給部114からは、C源のガスをキャリアガスとともに供給してもよい。
 排気ユニット116は、反応炉110の下流側に設けられており、調圧弁128と、真空ポンプ130とを備えている。排気ユニット116は、調圧弁128と真空ポンプ130により、反応炉110内を減圧して所望の圧力に調節する。
 製造装置100を用いたCMCの製造方法では、Cl源供給部112から反応炉110にClガス等のCl源のガスを供給し、第1反応部118においてCl源のガスと固体状のSiとを接触させる。第1反応部118では、Cl源のガスと固体状のSiとの接触により、生成物としてSiClまたはSiClを含有するSi源のガスが発生し、第2反応部120に送られる。第2反応部120では、第1反応部118で生じたSi源のガスと、C源供給部114から供給されるC源のガスとが反応し、繊維基材200の各繊維の表面上に炭化ケイ素が堆積して炭化ケイ素膜が形成される。
 CMCの製造においては、CVI法による炭化ケイ素膜の膜形成を行った後に、必要に応じて、液相含浸(SPI)法や、溶融含浸(PIP)法によりさらに炭化ケイ素のマトリックスを形成してもよい。この場合、炭化ケイ素繊維束における表層の炭化ケイ素膜の平均膜厚Dと、内層の炭化ケイ素膜の平均膜厚Dは、CVI法で形成された炭化ケイ素膜の平均膜厚である。
 CMCの切断面を顕微鏡で観察した場合、CVI法で形成された炭化ケイ素膜とSPI法やPIP法で形成されたマトリックスとの境界は判別可能である。そのため、SPI法やPIP法でさらにマトリックスを形成した場合でも炭化ケイ素膜のD、Dを測定できる。
 従来のCMCにおいて優れた機械的特性が得られにくいのは、炭化ケイ素繊維束に対する炭化ケイ素の含浸性が低いために、繊維束の表層と内層での炭化ケイ素膜の均一性が低いことが要因と考えられる。
 これに対して、本開示のCMCにおいては、炭化ケイ素繊維束における各繊維の表面に形成される炭化ケイ素膜が、D/Dが特定の範囲となるように制御され、炭化ケイ素繊維束の表層と内層における炭化ケイ素膜の均一性に優れる。そのため、本開示のCMCは、機械的特性に優れている。
 また、D/Dを制御しつつ、さらにDを2.6μm以上とし、炭化ケイ素繊維束の内層の各繊維の表面上に十分な炭化ケイ素膜を形成することで、機械的特性をさらに向上させることができる。
 本開示は、セラミック基複合材料に利用することができる。
