Application of tungsten wire in composite reinforcement and aerospace materials
Because of its excellent physical and chemical properties, tungsten wire has important application value in the field of composite reinforcement and aerospace. In particular, tungsten wire plays a key role in improving the high-temperature strength of components such as turbine blades and rocket nozzles.
First, the application of tungsten wire in composite material reinforcement
As a high-performance reinforcement material, tungsten wire can significantly improve the performance of composite materials, so that it is widely used in high-end fields such as aerospace.
(A) enhance the strength of the material
Tungsten wire has extremely high strength and hardness, and adding it as a reinforcing material to the composite material can significantly improve the tensile strength and compressive strength of the composite material. This allows the composite to withstand greater loads and pressures, meeting the requirements for high strength materials in the aerospace field.
(2) Improve wear resistance
The hardness of tungsten wire is extremely high, which can significantly improve the wear resistance of composite materials. In the aerospace field, many components need to work in an environment of high wear, such as the turbine blades of engines. The use of tungsten wire reinforced composite materials can effectively resist wear and impact, extending the service life of the parts.
(3) Improve thermal stability
The melting point of tungsten wire is extremely high, about 3422℃, which makes the composite stable at high temperatures. In the aerospace field, many components need to work in high temperatures or high thermal radiation environments, such as rocket nozzles, turbine blades, etc. The addition of tungsten wire can improve the high temperature resistance of the composite material, allowing it to maintain structural integrity and performance under extreme conditions.
(4) Enhancing corrosion resistance
Tungsten has good corrosion resistance and can improve the durability of composite materials in corrosive environments. In the aerospace field, materials often need to work in complex environments, such as atmospheric corrosion, fuel corrosion and so on. The addition of tungsten wire can enhance the corrosion resistance of the composite material and ensure its performance in harsh environments.
(5) Improve the fatigue resistance of the material
The high strength and toughness of tungsten wire can improve the fatigue resistance of composite materials. In the aerospace field, many components need to withstand periodic loads or shocks, such as aircraft landing gear, engine blades, etc. The use of tungsten wire reinforced composite material can effectively reduce the fatigue damage of the material and improve its reliability in long-term use.
Second, the application of tungsten wire in aerospace materials
Tungsten wire is widely used in the aerospace field, mainly relying on its high melting point, high density, corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.
(1) Improve the high temperature strength of turbine blades
In aircraft engines, turbine blades need to work in high temperature and high pressure environment, which requires high temperature resistance and strength of materials. Tungsten wire or tungsten alloy is widely used in the manufacture of turbine blades, which can significantly improve the high temperature strength and corrosion resistance of the blades. For example, by embedding tungsten wires into composite materials, turbine blades with higher strength and high temperature resistance can be created, thereby improving engine efficiency and reliability.
(2) High-temperature components of rocket nozzles
In rocket engines, parts such as nozzles are subjected to extremely high temperatures and pressures. Tungsten wire or its alloys are often used to manufacture these high-temperature components, such as nozzle throat liners, inlet bushings, etc. The high melting point and heat resistance of tungsten wire make it stable under the high temperature conditions of the engine combustion chamber, ensuring the reliable operation of the engine.
(3) Thermal shielding and insulation layer
Spacecraft generate extremely high temperatures when they enter the atmosphere or travel at high speeds. Tungsten wire is often used to make heat-resistant heat shields and insulation layers, which can effectively protect internal equipment and personnel from high temperature damage. Due to the high melting point and low thermal expansion coefficient of tungsten, tungsten wire can maintain structural stability in high temperature environment, and will not easily melt or deform.
(4) conductive materials
In the aerospace industry, tungsten wires are used as conductive materials, especially in situations where stable conductivity is required at high temperatures. For example, tungsten wires can be used in electric heating elements or current leads in high temperature environments. The high resistance and oxidation resistance of tungsten wire enable it to conduct current reliably in extreme environments.
(5) Radiation shielding
In space, spacecraft are exposed to intense radiation from the sun and the universe. Tungsten's high density makes it an ideal radiation shielding material for protecting sensitive electronics in spacecraft and astronauts from harmful radiation. Tungsten wire woven shielding layer can effectively block high-energy radiation such as X-rays and gamma rays, providing better protection for spacecraft.
