초록 ▼

A method for fabricating a reinforced matrix composite comprising the step of providing a composite preform having a fibrous structure and applying matrix material onto the preform in locations along the preform. A barrier material is applied to at least a portion of the coated preform to direct the flow of matrix material into the preform. The composite preform is heated to a temperature sufficient to render the matrix material viscous and insufficient to cure the matrix material. The pressure to the interior of the composite preform is reduced, while the pressure to the barrier material is increased. The temperature is maintained to flow the matrix material into the composite preform and to force gases from the fibrous structure. The composite preform is then cured and cooled to form a reinforced matrix composite having a low void content and a substantially uniform matrix distribution.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for fabricating a reinforced matrix composite part for a gas turbine engine, comprising: providing a tool having a tool surface; positioning a composite preform on at least a portion of the tool surface, the preform comprising a center, a first edge and a second edge; attaching a plurality of plates to the tool surface, each plate comprising a first and second surface; positioning the plates with each second surface adjacent to at least a preselected portion of the composite preform; the plates being comprising a material having a thermal coefficient of expansion greater than the thermal coefficient of expansion of the composite preform; the tool being comprising a material having a thermal coefficient of expansion greater than the thermal coefficient of expansion of the composite preform; providing a matrix material having a preselected curing temperature; applying the matrix material onto predetermined locations on the preform to form a coated preform, wherein a greater amount of matrix material is placed on the center of the preform than on each of the first and second edges; applying a layer of barrier material to at least a portion of the coated preform that isolates the matrix material from an external environment; providing a vacuum membrane; placing the tool and preform into a vacuum membrane; heating the composite preform to a preselected temperature, the preselected temperature being sufficient to render the matrix material viscous, but below the curing temperature of the matrix material, and enable flow of matrix material from the center to the first and second edges; holding the temperature at the preselected temperature to flow the matrix material from the predetermined locations into the composite preform; the first preselected temperature also being sufficient to cause thermal expansion of the tool and the plates that is greater than the thermal expansion of the composite preform; the thermal expansion of the tool and the plate relative to the composite preform being sufficient to cause tensional force across the composite preform; applying reduced pressure to an interior of the vacuum membrane sufficient to draw gas from the edges of the preform; applying increased pressure to the exterior of the vacuum membrane to apply force across the first surface of the plate through the membrane, thereby creating a pressure differential; the reduced pressure to the interior of the vacuum membrane and the increased pressure to the exterior of the vacuum membrane facilitate the flow of the matrix material into the composite preform as a result of the pressure differential, while maintaining the positioning of the preselected portion of the composite preform adjacent to the plurality of plates; collecting matrix material flowing from one of the first edge or the second edge; distributing the matrix material collected to the one of the first edge or the second edge from which excess material was not drawn; heating the preform to a preselected second temperature; the second temperature being sufficient to cure the matrix material; and thereafter cooling the preform to form a reinforced matrix composite having a low void content and a substantially uniform matrix distribution, wherein the tool is substantially the shape of a spool comprising a cylindrical body, a releasably secured first endplate attached to a first end of the cylindrical body and a releasably secured second endplate attached to a second end of the cylindrical body. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the composite preform positioned on the tool surface is substantially cylindrical. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the composite preform further comprises a flange along the circumferential edges of the composite preform extending perpendicularly from the center of the composite preform. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the composite preform is a fibrous fabric. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the fibrous fabric comprises triaxial woven tows. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the tows comprise graphite fibers. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the matrix material comprises epoxy. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the barrier material comprises silicone. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the reinforced matrix composite has a void space content up to about 2.5%. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the reinforced matrix composite has a void space content of up to about 1.0%. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the reinforced matrix composite is a containment fan duct for a gas turbine engine.
