摘要： Small ceramic particles (e.g., of TiC) are incorporated into fibers. The ceramic particles enhance the friction and/or wear properties of a carbon-carbon composite article made with the impregnated or coated fibers. The impregnated fibers can be, e.g., polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers, pitch fibers, and other such fibers as are commonly employed in the manufacture of C-C friction materials. The impregnated fibers can be used to make woven, nonwoven, or random fiber preforms or in other known preform types. Preferred products are brake discs and other components of braking systems. The particles may be included in the fibers by mixing them with the resin employed to make the fibers and/or by applying them to the surfaces of the fibers in a binder.

摘要： Process of manufacturing carbon-carbon composite preform by: (i.) arranging batch of carbon fiber preforms in infiltration vessel; (ii.) flooding vessel with hot liquid phase pitch at atmospheric pressure in inert atmosphere; (iii.) raising pressure in infiltration vessel to elevated pressure, and then slowly lowering pressure; and (iv.) repeating step (iii.). An apparatus that may be used is a heated infiltration vessel capable of operating at pressures above 100 psi, possible equipped with means to circulate heated pitch inside the vessel, in order to facilitate heat transfer into the carbon fiber preforms being infiltrated by the pitch. The need for a vacuum pump is eliminated, and the time spent heating the preform is substantially reduced. Instead of vacuum, cycled high pressure is employed to infiltrate carbon fiber preforms with pitch. The use of preheated pitch as a heat transfer agent avoids the slow transfer of heat into the preform prior to infiltration.

摘要： Method of carbonizing pitch-infiltrated fibrous annular preform by: infiltrating the preform with pitch; placing the pitch-infiltrated preform in a constraint fixture having an ejector base plate, an inner wall, an outer wall, and a top press plate; selecting the relative sizes of the preform and the constraint fixture so that a layer of inert friable material may be situated between the preform and walls of the constraint fixture; placing inert friable material (e.g., activated carbon) between the preform and the top, bottom, and walls of the constraint fixture; and subjecting the pitch-infiltrated fibrous preform to carbonization in the constraint fixture. The activated carbon or other inert friable material adsorbs pitch molecules that escape the preform during carbonization, which reduces problems with foaming. The layer of activated carbon or other friable material between the fibrous preform and the constraint fixture also provides an easily crushable region that facilitates removal of the preform from the constraint fixture after carbonization.

摘要： Method of joining carbon-carbon composite pieces together, e.g. in the refurbishment of aircraft brake discs. The method includes the steps of: providing a first carbon-carbon composite piece and a second carbon-carbon composite piece, wherein the second carbon-carbon composite piece has a surface that is complementary to a surface of said first carbon-carbon composite piece; providing a layer of a mixture of titanium powder and carbon powder on the first complementary mating surface; arranging the second carbon-carbon composite piece on the powder layer such that the second complementary mating surface is matched to the first complementary mating surface, thereby forming a construct of the first carbon-carbon composite piece, the powder layer, and the second carbon-carbon composite piece; placing the construct into a press and applying pressure to the construct to press together the two pieces joined at their complementary surfaces; and applying an electrical current to the powder in the construct to initiate an oxidation-reduction reaction, thereby bonding the carbon-carbon composite pieces together. The titanium powder particles may be from 25 to 250 microns in diameter, and the carbon powder (e.g., graphite particles) may be 1 to 10 microns in diameter.
