Abstract
Methods of making a carbon-carbon composite preforms, particularly suitable as brake discs in aircraft landing systems, by combining titanium carbide particles ranging in size from 0.01 to 10 microns in diameter, resinous binder, and carbon fibers or carbon fiber precursors in a mold, and subsequently subjecting the combined components to pressure and heat to carbonize the resinous binder by methods, thereby providing the carbon-carbon composite preform having particulate titanium carbide uniformly distributed throughout its mass. Prior to combining the titanium carbide and the binder with the fibers in this process, the particulate titanium carbide may be mixed with liquid binder, the resulting TiC/binder mixture may then solidified, and the resulting solid TiC/binder mixture may be ground into a fine powder for use in the process. Also, compositions for preparing a carbon-carbon composite friction materials, and methods of improving wear and dynamic stability in a carbon-carbon composite brake discs.
