Abstract: Taking the liquefied gas as carbon source precursor and the nitrogen as dilution gas, the general carbon felt with initial density of 0.14 g·cm-3 was densified by means of directional pulse airflow TG-CVI method. The densification process and density distribution of the C/C composites were studied under different experimental conditions. The microstructure, fracture morphology and flexural strength of the C/C composites were investigated by using polarized light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and three-point bending method. The result showed that under condition of hot side temperature of 1 080 ℃ and pulse pressure of -3~0 kPa, the appearance density of the C/C composites after densified for 70 h would be 1.836 g·cm-3 with uniform density distribution. The microstructure would be a mixed structure of rough laminae(RL) with smooth laminae(SL).The fracture morphology of the samples would exhibit a progressive serrated distribution and the fibers would mainly be of pullout, showing a pseudoplastic fracture feature. In addition, the flexural strength would be 83.91 MPa.
