Study on Pre-Oxidized Carbon Fiber Reinforced Pantograph Carbon Slide Plates
The pre-oxidized carbon fiber reinforced pantograph carbon slide plate was prepared using processes such as hot pressing and calcination with pre-oxidized carbon fibers(OPF),pitch and coke as raw materials.The electrical and thermal conductivity as well as the mechanical properties of the pantograph carbon slide plates with different OPF con-tents were disscussed,and the microstructure of the composite material was observed with the scanning electron micros-copy(SEM),polarized light microscopy(POM),X-ray diffractometer(XRD)and other instruments.The results show that the improvement of properties of slide plate material is related to the co-carbonized interface between the OPF and pitch and the formation of microcrystalline network at the interface and the substrate.The composite material consisting of 1.5%OPF has good electrical,thermal conductivity and mechanical properties with electrical and thermal conductivity of 279.33 S/cm and 3.37 W/(m·K),compressive and flexural strength of 155.00 MPa and 44.85 MPa respectively,which meet the performance requirements of pantograph carbon slide plates.
