INCREASE OF SAFELY WORK FOR CARBON-SILICON COMPOSITE MATERIALS

 

Composite materials on the basis of carbon fibers find a wide use in an aerospace technique and aircraft building as heat-resistant friction elements and heater knots. The technological methods and properties of carbon-carbon, carbon-aluminum and carbon-magnesium composite materials are presented in works [1-3]

Carbon-silicon composite materials on chemical and oxidizing durability substantially differ from the above-stated materials. Impregnation of carbon composite materials by silicon fusion supposes the processes of his penetration on transport pores in the volume of composite, diffusion of silicon atoms through the walls of pores in the structure of carbon, and also dissolution of carbon atoms for matrix material in the volume of liquid silicon. During realization of the above-state processes in the interval of temperatures 1450…1500 °C [4] the reaction carbide silicon formation is characterized by low speeds, and the degree of participation of silicon in this process does not exceed 10…15 % from his volume. At temperatures higher 1600 °C speeds of flowing for the indicated reaction increases considerably, and a process is completed by formation of carbides on all volume of contact of atoms for carbon and silicon. However at the impregnation of carbonized carbon composite materials by fusion of silicon takes place co-operation of liquid silicon and carbon fibers that results in the considerable decline of strength and resilient properties and also shock viscidity of these composite materials.

In this connection there is a necessity of creation on a surface reinforcing components of composite materials of fibers of the buffer protective coverage. Such buffer layers must not co-operate with a carbon and silicon and here to maintain the temperature of flowing processes without allegations and destruction. The most suitable materials for the indicated aims are compositions on the basis of quartz.

Carbonized carbon composite materials exposed to impregnation by fusion of silicon and there is got material with the closeness of 2,50…2,60 g/sm3, maintenance of carbon 10…12 %, carbide of silicon 50…55 % and silicon - 33…40 %. Thus did not look dissolution of reinforcing component - carbon fiber - in molten silicon.

Estimation of possibility for defense of reinforcing components for carbonized carbon composite materials by compositions on the basis of quartz with formation of coverage carried out the method of oxidization in presence oxygen at temperatures to 1000 °С. Durability of the got protective coverage’s was determined on the size of relative loss of samples mass.

The analysis of the got results shows that at the increase of temperature for process of oxidization efficiency of protective coverage’s increases from 20 to 30 %. The increase of duration of process for components with coverage’s stipulates less speed of mass loss in relation to components without coverage.

Samples research materials were made on the basis of carbon fibers with quartz coverage by thick 0.5…2.0 mcm and their silicification is carry out at the maximal temperature of process 1650 °С [5]. The got composite material was characterized by the closeness of 2.25…2.35 g/sm3, maintenance of carbon of 52…58 %, silicon - 25…30 % and carbide of silicon - 22…33 %.

As set by the results of microstructure analysis, carbon fibers saved the integrity and structure.
