Machining of SiC ceramic matrix composites: A review

Continuous fiber reinforced SiC ceramic matrix composites (FRCMCs-SiC) are currently the preferred material for hot section components, safety–critical components and braking components (in the aerospace, energy, transportation) with high value, and have triggered the demand for machining. However, the high brittleness, anisotropy, and heterogeneity of materials bring great challenges to machining, due to high mechanical and thermal loads, severe tool wear, and poor machining quality. With the increasing demand of FRCMCs-SiC parts, high-quality and high-efficient machining has become a hot issue. This review paper provides a detailed literature survey on the machining of FRCMCs-SiC. The material removal mechanism, defect form, and interfacial mechanical properties of FRCMCs-SiC were summarized. The machining processes of FRCMCs-SiC were introduced, and their respective advantages and disadvantages were compared. Given the low machinability (high hardness, high brittleness, anisotropy, and heterogeneity) of FRCMCs-SiC, preliminary experiments have proved that ultrasonic-assisted machining and laser-assisted machining have shown unique advantages in reducing force and tool wear, improving machining quality and machining efficiency. The machined surface integrity was discussed, the influence of process parameters on the machined surface quality was analyzed, and the machining defects of FRCMCs-SiC were summarized. But for FRCMCs-SiC, the existing quantitative evaluation of the machined surface integrity was weak and unsystematic.

Thermo-mechanical properties of RTM-made carbon fibre/polyimide composite attaching collar under transient heating

This study focuses on the thermo-mechanical properties of Carbon Fibre/Polyimide Composite (CFPC) attaching collars under transient heating. The CFPC attaching collars were fabricated by a high-temperature resin transfer moulding process, and their thermo-mechanical properties under the conditions of simultaneous transient heating and bending load were investigated. The results show that the attaching collar tends to fail at 118% of the limit load. The failure mode includes the fracture of the connecting screws, local extrusion damage of the hole edges, and slight ablation damage at the outer plies. And there is no observable residual deformation in the composite attaching collar. Furthermore, considering that the material properties vary with temperature, a progressive damage model based on the sequential thermo-mechanical coupling method was established to study the failure mechanism of the attaching collar. Finally, the damage factor of the CFPC was calculated to assess the safety status of the attaching collar. The results show that the primary damage modes of the composite attaching collar are intralaminar failure, which mainly occurs at the heat insulation layer and the hole edges, and these slightly affect the structural bearing capacity. A good correlation between the experiment and FEA is obtained. The test methods and analysis models proposed contribute to the safety assessment of composite structures under transient heating.     

Interconnected Ni（OH）2 and polyether amine on carbon fiber surface for simultaneously improving interfacial adhesion of epoxy composites and electrochemical properties

玻璃纤维增强酚醛基复合材料平均线胀系数测试影响因素

研究了保温时间、升温速率、预处理温度等对玻璃纤维增强酚醛基复合材料线胀系数测试的影响。结果表明,玻璃纤维增强酚醛基复合材料在加热条件下进一步固化,造成样品收缩与样品受热膨胀相抵消,升温曲线出现平台。因此,测试前应对样品进行预处理,处理温度高于试样最终的测试温度,低于样品固化温度,以免材料内部结构发生变化;设置合适的升温速率,升温速率低,增加了时间成本,升温速率太高,测温热电偶引入的误差增加,且不均匀的加热使试样产生热应力,影响试验结果。
