This study investigates the oxidation mechanisms of carbon-carbon composite materials of the type used for aircraft brakes. The rate-controlling steps for oxidation at temperatures ranging between 450 and 750Β°C were determined by measuring activation energies of composite samples in bulk form and in

β¦ Synopsis
An investigation was made of the effects of oxidation on the wear of carbon-carbon composites for aircraft brake materials. Wear tests were performed on samples under various oxygen partial pressures, and measurements were made of wear rates in weight and thickness. Wear rate was found to increase with increasing oxygen partial pressure; the wear in air was more than 4.5 times the wear in an inert atmosphere under the conditions used in this study. At least 60% of the total weight loss was caused by oxidation, that is, direct removal by conversion of the solid to CO and COz. Furthermore, the oxidation weakened the surface and subsurface, which in turn facilitated material removal by mechanical action at the rubbing interfaces.
