Research on Manufacturing Process of Carbon-Carbon Composites as Ablation Resistance Materials

Abstract:

C/C composites are being used as high-temperature structural material due to the superior characteristics of low density, high specific strength, high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient and excellent anti-ablation. The state of research into the manufacturing processes of Carbon-Carbon composites is critically reviewed with emphasis in this paper. The processes include several kinds of methods, for example, CVD, CVI, Liquid Impregnation and etc. And the usages of some corresponding methods in manufacturing Carbon-Carbon materials as ablation resistant materials are shown in this paper too. It will provide the references for the further development of weaponry materials in the coming years.
