Pressure Swing Cvi/Cvd

View page
US Patent:
7959973, Jun 14, 2011
Filed:
Nov 29, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/605383
Inventors:
Akshay Waghray - Granger IN, US
Terence B. Walker - South Bend IN, US
Assignee:
Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
C23C 16/00
US Classification:
4272492, 4272491, 4272493, 42725524
Abstract:
Method of chemical vapor infiltration of a deposable carbon material into a porous carbon fiber preform in order to densify the carbon fiber preform. The method includes the steps of: situating the porous carbon fiber preform in the reaction zone; providing a linear flow of a reactant gas comprising deposable carbon material in the reaction zone at an initial reaction pressure of at most 50 torr to produce deposition of the deposable carbon material into the preform; and adjusting the pressure of the gas to reaction pressures lower than said initial reaction pressure while deposable carbon material continues to be deposited into the porous carbon fiber preform. This method enables attainment of a target increased density in a carbon fiber preform much more quickly than known processes. A programmed pressure swing throughout the CVI/CVD run may be set in order to provide a linear increase in density. Alternatively, step changes in pressure during the course of the densification process may be made to enhance the rate of densification.

Also, a batch of carbon-carbon composite preforms made by the method, wherein the density of the batch of preforms is at least 0.5 g/cc higher than the density of a batch of preforms made by an otherwise identical process in which the apparatus does not contain a passive heat distribution element located within its interior. The preforms may be configured as aircraft landing system brake discs or racing car brake discs.
