摘要: 将M40J碳纤维(Cf)以叠层缝合结构编织成预制体,采用真空气压浸渗工艺制备成Cf/Al复合材料。在高温环境(350℃、400℃)下进行三点弯曲测试试验,通过SEM、TEM、EDS和XRD对材料的元素分布、物相组成、微观组织和界面特征进行观察分析,研究其高温弯曲性能,探讨该种材料在高温环境下弯曲失效机制。结果表明,制备的Cf/Al复合材料基体与增强体界面轮廓清晰且结合紧密,材料内部基体受残余拉应力。Cf/Al复合材料在350℃时的弯曲强度和模量分别为175.2 MPa和90.1 GPa,在400℃时为160.8 MPa和87.5 GPa;温度升高时叠层缝合结构Cf/Al复合材料的弯曲强度未出现大比例下降,其高温稳定性较其他编织结构更好。Cf/Al复合材料在高温环境下弯曲失效时受拉伸、压缩共同作用,其失效方式是基体开裂及部分纤维断裂,主导因素为基体在高温下软化和材料界面结合强度下降。Abstract: The M40J carbon fiber (Cf) was woven into preform with laminated stitch structure, and the Cf/Al composites were prepared by the vacuum pressure infiltration method. The bending tests were carried out at high temperature (350℃, 400℃). The element distribution, phase composition, microstructure and interface characteristics were observed and analyzed by SEM, TEM, EDS and XRD. The bending properties of Cf/Al composites at high temperature were studied, and their failure mechanisms were discussed. The results show that the interface between matrix and reinforcement is clear and close. The matrix in the composites is subjected to residual tensile stress. The bending strength and modulus of Cf/Al composites at 350℃ are 175.2 MPa and 90.1 GPa, respectively, and are 160.8 MPa and 87.5 GPa at 400℃. The bending strength of Cf/Al composites with laminated stitch structure does not decrease significantly with the increasing temperature. The high temperature stability of Cf/Al composites with laminated stitch structure is better than that of other braided structures. When the material bending fails at high temperature, it is subjected to the combined effects of tension and compression. The failure modes are matrix cracking and partial fiber fracture. The main factors are matrix softening and decrease of interfacial bonding strength.
