The invention discloses a SiC-TaC
coating / matrix collaborative modified C / C
composite material and its preparation method. The
composite material provided by the invention comprises two parts. The portion below the surface of the C / C
composite material is the matrix modified portion with the thickness being 0.1-10mm. In addition,
carbide in the C / C composite material emerges in gradient distribution. The portion which is deposited on the surface of a carbon material is a
coating portion with the thickness being 10-300 microns. The preparation method of the composite material comprises the following steps of:
cutting a C / C
green body at the density of 0.80g / cm<3>-1.60g / cm<3> into an annular shape or a plate shape, followed by ultrasonic cleaning and
drying, placing into a multifunctional CVD furnace, depositing
carbide on the
surface layer and surface of the C / C
green body by controlling deposition parameters, further densifying the
green body by the use of
pyrolytic carbon so as to obtain the high-density
coating / matrix collaborative modified C / C composite material. The main advantages of the invention are as follows: by the penetration of
carbide through the
surface layer of the C / C composite material, the
thermal expansion coefficient of the matrix is raised, the
interfacial bonding state is improved, a
continuous transition of carbide is formed between the coating and the matrix, and the metallurgical bonding is accomplished between the coating and the matrix.
