Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the title cylindrical body without interlayer spalling and gap, having uniform thickness, and with reduced warpage by forming the prepreg layer of carbon fiber and a carbonizable material around a mandrel, heat- treating the prepreg, forming the prepreg, and calcining the formed product in a nonoxidizing atmosphere. CONSTITUTION:A material (e.g., PP) exhibiting <=50% actual carbon ratio when calcined at 600-3000 deg.C in a nonoxidizing atmosphere is applied, as required, on the periphery of a mandrel to form a substrate layer. A prepreg contg. 50-70vol.% carbon fiber and the carbonizable material (e.g., phenolic resin) is then wound on the mandrel to form a prepreg layer having <=5.0mm thickness, heat-treated at 150-200 deg.C along with the mandrel for several hours to several ten hours, and formed. The formed product is calcined at 600-3000 deg.C along with the mandrel in a nonoxidizing atmosphere, and the mandrel is extracted.

That is, the first problem is that when the cross section of the cylinder is observed, glabellar peeling and voids are observed, and these delaminations and voids extend in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder. The second problem is that the cross section is not a perfect circle and tends to be distorted.

Formation of the prepreg in the first step is usually performed by using a sheet-like prepreg and winding it around a mandrel. When continuous fibers are used as the carbon fibers, a filament winding method is used, or a method is used in which raw carbon fibers are wound around a mandrel in the same manner as the filament winding method and then impregnated with a carbonizable substance. Here, when forming the prepreg layer, the direction of the carbon fibers is determined depending on the required characteristics, etc., as is usually adopted for composite materials. For example, when using a fabric prepreg, either the warp or the weft of the fabric is oriented in the axial direction of the mandrel (therefore, the other yarn is in the circumferential direction of the mandrel).

In addition, prior to forming the prepreg layer, a base layer made of a material that has a residual carbon percentage of 50% or less when fired at 600 to 3000"C in a non-oxidizing atmosphere is formed on the circumferential surface of the mandrel. This base layer, which is preferably left in place, prevents the carbon fibers from being cut, especially at the portions in contact with the mandrel, due to the difference in thermal expansion between the mandrel and the molded body during the firing process of the third step, and at the same time, It functions to facilitate the removal of the mandrel during the process and to enable reuse of the mandrel.

Examples of substances that form such a base layer include:
Examples include pulp and synthetic resins such as vinyl chloride resin, polyethylene resin, and polypropylene resin, and such materials are applied to a mandrel or wound around a mandrel in the form of paper, film, etc. to form the base layer. In this case, if the thickness of the base layer is too thin, the above-mentioned effect will not be exhibited.
Furthermore, if it is extremely thick, the gap between the mandrel and the molded body during firing becomes too large, making it easy for the molded body to deform during the firing process, so it is preferably about 0.2 to 5 m.

The thickness of the prepreg is limited to 5.0ff111 or less, and the volume content (Vf; %) of carbon fiber is limited to 55 to 70%.

If the thickness of the prepreg layer is thicker than 5.0 mm, the gas generated during the thermal decomposition of the carbonizable material during the firing process may not be able to escape to the outside and remain, creating voids. Contraction causes frequent glabellar peeling.

If Vf is lower than 55%, the carbonizable material will shrink significantly during the firing process, and as a result, peeling between the eyebrows will occur frequently in the cross section, and distortion in the cross-sectional shape will begin to occur. If Vf is higher than 70%, expansion of the carbonizable material occurs during the firing process, which also causes peeling between the eyebrows and distortion of the cross section.For this reason, Vf is set within the above range. However, a more preferable range is 60 to 70%.

In the second step, the prepreg layer formed in the first step is heat-treated together with the mandrel at a temperature of about 150 to 200° C. and molded. The heat treatment is usually carried out under normal pressure for several hours to about ten or more hours. When the carbonizable substance is a thermosetting resin, the thermosetting resin is cured by this heat treatment.

In the third step, the molded body formed in the second step is fired together with the mandrel in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. For example, nitrogen is suitable as the non-oxidizing atmosphere. The firing temperature is set at 600-3000"C. At temperatures lower than 600"C, carbonization of the carbonizable material does not proceed;
Setting a temperature higher than 000'C is industrially meaningless.
