Study of Thermophysical Property Formation of Spatially Reinforced Carbon-Carbon Composite Materials

Abstract

Thermophysical properties are studied: thermal conductivity, heat capacity and thermal diffusivity of spatially reinforced carbon-carbon composite materials. A structural model is proposed for thermal conductivity levels at 300 and 2500 K. Results of calculations are confirmed in manufacturing practice and studies of material properties. It is shown that anisotropy of thermal conductivity levels leads to a nonuniform thermal state of refractory carbon composite working surface fragments. It is established that structure formation for the surface of a carbon-carbon refractory wall is connected with composite components structural state inhomogeneity. Approaches are proposed for increasing the working surface life for refractory carbon materials.
