Anti-ablation carbon/carbon composite of a kind of zirconium titanium carbide modification and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to anti-ablation carbon/carbon composite of a kind of zirconium titanium carbide modification and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
Carbon/carbon composite is the new type high temperature material of carbon fiber reinforced carbon matrix body, and this material light specific gravity, theoretical density are 2.2g/cm
3Have high-strength modulus, little, the anti-ablation of thermal expansivity, antifatigue, unreactiveness, dimensional stability height, particularly the intensity temperature raises and the series of advantages such as rising and high-fracture toughness, low creep under the high temperature, be desirable thermal structure and ablation resistant material, be widely used in aerospace field.At present, countries in the world all will resist the ablation carbon/carbon composite as the preferred material of nose cone and the leading edge of space shuttle.Carbon/carbon composite has the heat-resisting characteristics of light weight, thereby also is the important equivalent material of the hot-end component alloy material of hypersonic vehicle.
But easily oxidized when carbon/carbon composite uses in the high temperature aerobic environment.Under aerobic conditions, the initial oxidation temperature of carbon/carbon composite is 370 ℃; When being higher than 500 ℃, the rapid oxidation of carbon/carbon composite meeting, and catastrophic explosion occurs.And high Mach aircraft (〉 5Ma) the temperature of nose cone, the edge of a wing and combustion chamber tend to reach 2000-2800 ℃ high temperature, these heating parts also will stand washing away of long high temperature and high speed oxidative airstream and particle simultaneously.And pure carbon/carbon composite also is difficult to competent so harsh applied environment.Therefore, research is carried out matrix modification to carbon/carbon composite, further improves the Burning corrosion resistance energy of carbon/carbon composite, can be applied on the parts of anti-ablation of hypersonic vehicle to have great significance.
The ceramic phase of introducing the anti-ablation of high-melting-point in matrix of carbon/carbon composite materials is the effective measure of Burning corrosion resistance energy that improves carbon/carbon composite.In these potteries, zirconium carbide because of have very high fusing point (3540 ℃) with and corresponding zirconium white also has high-melting-point (2500 ℃) and the low advantages such as diffusion coefficient usually are selected as anti-ablator.With respect to other high-melting-point carbide such as tantalum carbide, hafnium carbide, zirconium carbide has lower density and modulus, and cheaper preparation cost.But zirconium carbide also has weak point, and that is exactly when when low-temperature zone (<2500 ℃), and the zirconium white that the zirconium carbide oxidation generates is a kind of structure of porosity and looseness, this to the anti-ablation of material and anti-oxidant be disadvantageous.Therefore, but introduced the slightly low carbide of very high its oxide compound fusing point of another fusing point---titanium carbide in this technique.The fusing point of titanium carbide is 3140 ℃, and its corresponding oxide compound fusing point is 1840 ℃, and titanium oxide has the diffusion coefficient lower than zirconium white.Both compound can form oxide film in oxidizing atmosphere, and then the erosion of opposing Sauerstoffatom and particle and provide protection for carbon matrix.This shows that introducing simultaneously two kinds of carbide can have very important effect to the Burning corrosion resistance that improves carbon/carbon composite.
