Constraint fixture for processing annular preforms. The constraint fixture is made up of a lower plate, a top plate, a ring for the outside diameter of an annular preform being treated within the constraint fixture, and a ring for the inside diameter of the annular preform. The outside diameter and inside diameter rings are made of thin flexible sheet metal strips or thin flexible carbon-carbon composite strip material. The thin flexible strips are joined together by deformable joints, so that the flexible constraint system retains pitch within the fibrous matrix of the preform. The outside diameter strips may be joined together by expandable joints and the inside diameter strips may be joined together by collapsible joints. Also, a method of avoiding damage to an annular fibrous preform, e.g., an aircraft brake disc preform, during a carbonization procedure. This method involves carbonizing the annular fibrous preform in the constraint fixture of the invention.

Constraint fixture for processing annular preforms. The constraint fixture is made up of a lower plate (2), a top plate (11), a ring (4) for the outside diameter of an annular preform being treated within the constraint fixture, and a ring (10) for the inside diameter of the annular preform. The outside diameter and inside diameter rings are made of thin flexible sheet metal strips or thin flexible carbon-carbon composite strip material. The thin flexible strips are joined together by deformable joints, so that the flexible constraint system retains pitch within the fibrous matrix of the preform. The outside diameter strips may be joined together by expandable joints and the inside diameter strips may be joined together by collapsible joints. Also, a method of avoiding damage to an annular fibrous preform, e.g., an aircraft brake disc preform, during a carbonization procedure. This method involves carbonizing the annular fibrous preform in the constraint fixture of the invention.

A brake disk (10) includes an annular core (12, 60, 82) formed from a plurality of non-annular pieces (40, 66, 68, 84), a first friction disk (14) mounted on a first side of the annular core (12, 60, 82), a second friction disk (14) mounted on a second side of the core (12, 60, 82) opposite from the first friction disk (14), and at least one fastener (58) connecting the first and second friction disks (14, 14) to the core (12, 60, 82). Also a method of assembling a brake disk from a core and friction elements.

摘要:
An improved carbon-carbon composite and method of preparation. Thp carbon-carbon composite comprises a plurality of carbon fibers agglomerated and joined or consolidated together typically into a preform. The carbon fibers are impregnated with pitch prior to carbonization in order to enhance the density of the carbonized preform. The method comprises adding pitch powder to a preform and melting the pitch powder so as to uniformly impregnate the carbon fibers, thus enhancing the carbonized density of the preform.
摘要:
Process for producing carbon-carbon composite preform, by: providing short carbon fiber segments or short carbon fiber precursor segments; providing pitch in particulate form; combining blend comprising the fiber segments and pitch particles in a mold; subjecting the resulting mixture of fibers and pitch in the mold to an elevated pressure ranging at a temperature above the melting/softening point of the pitch to create an uncarbonized preform; cooling the preform to below its softening point and removing it from the mold; placing the preform in a constraint fixture; and carbonizing the combined components in the constraint fixture at an elevated temperature for a period of time of sufficient to provide a preform having a density in the range 0.8-1.6 grams per cubic centimeter.
