High Temperature Bonding Effect of the Room-Temperature-Curing Phosphate Adhesive for C/C Composites

A heat-resistant phosphate adhesive was developed for joining and repairing of C/C composites. The high-temperature bonding effect for both cured adhesive and 1300°C-calcined adhesive had been evaluated through testing high-temperature shear strength of corresponding joints. The results showed that the bonding strength of cured adhesive decreased from 7.9 MPa at RT to 0.9 MPa at 1300°C, while that of 1300°C-calcined adhesive could maintain about 4 MPa at temperature range from RT to 700°C and then decreased to 1.7 MPa at 1300°C. Besides, with the increasing thermal cycling times at 1300°C, the high-temperature bonding strength at this temperature could maintain at about 2.3 MPa.
