| Abstract: | Thermal contact resistance plays a very important role in heat transfer efficiency and thermomechanical coupling response between two materials, and a common method to reduce the thermal contact resistance is to fill a soft interface material between these two materials. A testing system of high temperature thermal contact resistance based on INSTRON 8874 is established in the present paper, which can achieve 600°C at the interface. Based on this system, the thermal contact resistance between superalloy GH600 material and three-dimensional braid C/C composite material is experimentally investigated, under different interface pressures, interface roughnesses and temperatures, respectively. At the same time, the mechanism of reducing the thermal contact resistance with carbon fiber sheet as interface material is experimentally investigated. Results show that the present testing system is feasible in the experimental research of high temperature thermal contact resistance. |
