Carbon fiber preforms (C/C, C/SiC carbon ceramic substrates) classification, performance parameters + all application scenarios
Preforms are the mainframe substrates for carbon-carbon and carbon ceramic composite materials. The mainstream types include needle-punched composite preforms (mass production mainstay), 2D laminated preforms, 3D three-dimensional woven preforms, and short-fiber molded preforms. The raw materials mostly use T400/T700 12K PAN carbon fibers (dry cloth + carbon fiber mesh composite).
1. Four major categories of key technical indicators & performance
1. Needle-punched composite preform (non-woven UD fabric + mesh fabric cross-laminated needle-punched, mainstream for carbon ceramic brakes / thermal insulation, your main product category)
Core parameters (industry standard)
Raw materials: 12K T400/T700 unidirectional UD dry cloth + 50~120g/㎡ carbon fiber mesh, UD: mesh volume ratio ≈ 2:1
Needle-punch density: 18~32 needles / cm² (brake 22~30 needles / cm²; thermal insulation insulation 15~20 needles / cm²)
Volume density: 0.42~0.62g/cm³ (carbon ceramic brake-specific 0.45~0.55g/cm³)
Long fiber ratio: 65%~83%, Z-axis needle-punched fibers penetrate interlayers
Open pore porosity: 28%~42% (key: ensure CVI gas phase carburization, LSI melt silicon penetration)
Thickness direction layer density: 12~20 layers / cm
Product performance
Quasi-three-dimensional structure, interlayer strength far superior to pure 2D laminated, no delamination, no cracking under thermal shock;
Excellent pore connectivity, uniform melt silicon and gas phase deposition densification, no silicon deficiency or void defects in the finished product;
Lightweight, high-temperature resistant, stable structure at >2500℃ inert atmosphere, slow oxidation at <430℃;
Customizable flat, circular ring, cylindrical, and irregularly shaped integrated blanks.
2. Two-dimensional laminated preform (plain weave / diagonal weave carbon fabric layer-by-layer stacking, no needle-punching)
Density: 0.55~0.75g/cm³, pores 18%~30%
Shortcomings: Z-axis no fibers, interlayer shear difference, prone to delamination at high temperatures;
Advantages: High in-plane strength, good flatness, low cost;
Applicable: Thin plates, small C/C plates.
3. Three-dimensional overall woven preform (three-dimensional warp and weft Z-axis integrated weaving)
Density: 0.6~0.85g/cm³, pores 15%~25%, all-directional equal strength, no delamination;
Disadvantages: Weaving cost high, pores small, melt silicon difficulty large;
Applicable: Aerospace nozzle throat liners, high-pressure military irregular parts.
4. Short-fiber molded preform (short-cut carbon powder + short-fiber pressing)
Density: 0.35~0.5g/cm³, isotropic, low strength, low cost;
Applicable: Low-end insulation, conductive carbon plates, filter substrates.
2. General physical and chemical properties (all types of preforms)
Carbon content ≥ 95%, high-purity grade (single crystal furnace) ≥ 99%, ash content ≤ 0.3% (avoid high-temperature impurities foaming);
Extremely low thermal expansion coefficient (near zero expansion), cold and hot shock resistance, no cracking under repeated heating and cooling;
Resistant to strong acids and strong alkalis, corrosion-resistant, non-self-igniting, no deformation at high temperature;
Density only 1/4 of steel, final carbon ceramic product weight reduction by more than 60%.
