High-temperature oxidation behavior of carbon-carbon composites in the field of combustion
- Nagoya Univ. (Japan)
The effects of equivalence ratio and temperature on oxidation behavior of carbon fiber reinforced carbon composites (C/C composites) were studied experimentally. Rates of weight loss of C/C composites in the field of combustion with methane-air were measured. The experiments were conducted at equivalence ratios of 0 = 0.8 and 1.3, and at temperatures of 1200, 1300 and 1400{degrees}C. It was found that higher equivalence ratio and lower temperature of methane-air were more effective in protecting C/C composites from oxidation. Changes of chemical structure on surface of C/C composites before and after experiment were also observed by Raman spectroscopy to evaluate chemically the degree of oxidation. The two peaks of Raman spectra from C/C composites appeared strongly at 1580 cm{sup -1} and weakly at 1360 cm{sup -1}. The ratios of the peak intensities at their wave numbers, R=I{sub 1360}/I{sub 1580}, which may indicate the degree of degradation of carbonaceous materials were measured. The dependence of equivalence ratio and temperature on R-value was similar to those on behavior of weight loss. This suggested that R-value obtained by Raman spectroscopy may be useful for estimation of the degree of oxidation. 8 refs., 6 figs., 1 tab.
