- Abstract
Summary: The thermal stability of the T700 carbon fiber epoxy composites, which had been tested under different conditions (nonvibration plus nonscrubbing airflow, vibration, scrubbing airflow, and vibration plus scrubbing airflow), were investigated according to the obtained weight loss behavior, integral program decomposition temperature (IPDF), and activation energies (E) by using thermogravietry‐differential thermal analyzer. The results indicate that the weight loss ratio, IPDF, and E of T700 carbon fiber epoxy and its residues in the third and fourth layers are similar under the nonvibration plus nonscrubbing airflow and vibration, and the thermal stability under the vibration condition is slightly stronger. In addition, the weight loss ratio, IPDF, and E of the epoxy and its residues in materials are also similar under scrubbing airflow and vibration plus scrubbing airflow, and the thermal stability under vibration plus scrubbing airflow is better. However, it is significantly less than the thermal stability of materials under nonvibration plus nonscrubbing airflow and vibration. Therefore, it can be found that the vibration exacerbates the flame severity and the scrubbing airflow has a significant cooling effect on the material during the airworthiness fire protection test, which have guiding significance on the airworthiness fire prevention items formulation of carbon fiber composite.
