Abstract:

Aiming at the inconsistent density between layers of hand-woven 3-D four-directional carbon/carbon composite preforms, the mapping relationship between carbon fiber laying height and fiber volume content were established based on the prefabricated parts forming technology. Equal distance and density micro-porous plates were designed, and processing technique suitable for micro-porous plates was established to ensure uniform density of the preforms. In order to ensure good fiber fluidity during the compaction and densification process of the preforms, the fiber compression theory was applied and the optimization of the structure for equal-distance and density micro-porous plates was carried to reduce the porosity of the preform. Based on the control strategy of displacements-pressure double closed loop, a digital compaction device was developed for on-line dynamic control of the preform density and nondestructive compaction to ensure the uniform density between the preform layers. Compaction experiments of equal-distance and density micro-porous plates were carried out to verify the feasibility of the key technology of compaction and densification process and the preforms were examined with an industrial microscope. The results show that the uniformity of preforms compacted by the optimized equal-distance and density micro-porous plates is better, with the preform porosity reduced by 50% compared to the non-optimized preforms.

Key words: preform, compaction density, equal-distance and density micro-porous plates, digital compaction device, porosity
