Abstract

The work aims to investigate the aging rules and performance evolution of BL-60 basalt fiber/7100 epoxy resin composites in the humid and hot marine atmospheric environment of Xiamen, improve the aging mechanism of basalt composites in marine atmosphere, and provide experimental support for their engineering application. By taking BL-60 basalt fiber composites with a basalt fiber volume ratio of 45%-55% and a lay-up ratio of 0/±45/90=64:24:12 as the research object, samples of two specifications were prepared, and a 2-year natural exposure test was carried out in accordance with GJB 8893.2—2017. The macro-micro morphology, moisture absorption rate and flexural strength of the samples were tested by scanning electron microscope (SEM), electronic balance and universal testing machine. The aging of the samples intensified with the extension of exposure time. After 2 years, the resin fell off completely from the surface and the fibers were exposed, with a sharp attenuation of the bonding force between fiber and resin. The mass change rate firstly increased and then decreased, reaching a maximum of 0.04% at 0.5 years and dropping to -0.6% at 2 years, which was caused by the combined effect of water infiltration and resin aging. The flexural strength firstly decreased, then increased and slightly decreased again, with a decrease of 8.68% at 1 year, exceeding the original value at 1.5 years and reaching 590.3 MPa at 2 years, which was regulated by the multi-mechanism competition of matrix, interface and fiber. It is concluded that the humid and hot marine atmospheric environment of Xiamen causes significant macro-micro aging of the composite, and its moisture absorption and mechanical properties show phased evolution. The flexural strength of the material is still higher than the original value after 2 years of exposure, showing good service potential in the marine environment. Cut surface defects accelerate aging, and resin degradation and interface failure are the core causes of performance deterioration.
