METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ACTIVE COOLING PANEL USING THERMOSTRUCTURAL COMPOSITE MATERIAL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing an active cooling panel using a thermostructural composite material efficient with durability and showing no leakage with respect to fluid flowing in an inner passage of the panel. SOLUTION: A metal coating is formed on an inner side face of a first thermostructural composite material part 20 having a recess forming a flow path 23 and also on the inner side face of a second thermostructural composite material part 10 applied to the inner side face of the first part. The first and second parts are assembled by joining the respective inner faces facing each other by means of hot compression or especially hot isostatic compression, and a thermostructural composite material cooling panel having the integrated fluid flow path is obtained. This method can be applied to the manufacture of a heat exchange wall such as the wall of a combustion chamber of an aircraft engine, a branch part of a rocket engine or a plasma containment chamber in a nuclear fusion reactor.
