INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION FIELD The present invention relates to a method for strengthening glassy carbon, and more specifically, it produces a glassy carbon material with whiskers uniformly dispersed therein, does not generate cracks during firing, and has a high wall thickness that was previously unobtainable. Concerning a method for producing strong carbon materials. Conventional techniques and their problems Conventionally, in order to increase the mechanical strength of carbon materials, there has been a known method of adding reinforcing materials such as carbon fibers or whiskers when adding a binder to a carbonaceous base material and kneading it. It is being However, it is difficult to uniformly disperse the fibrous reinforcing material in the matrix, and for example, in JP-A-194777, 0.1
Although pressure of Kg/cm 2 or more is applied, the amount of whiskers that can be uniformly added is small at about 5%, and the degree of improvement in bending strength etc. is small. Means for Solving the Problems The present invention avoids using a carbon material consisting of a carbon filler and a binder because the carbon filler described above cannot sufficiently increase the bending strength of the fired product. We adopted a phenolic resin powder that generates carbon, and in order to further increase the bending strength mentioned above, we came up with the idea of mixing the resin powder and whiskers using a wet method to obtain a glassy carbon material with uniformly dispersed whiskers. After repeated research, they completed the present invention. The method for producing a whisker-containing carbon composite material according to the present invention involves dispersing resin powder that produces glassy carbon and whiskers in a dispersion medium to form a slurry, and removing the dispersion medium from the slurry by a conventional method to form whiskers. The present invention is characterized in that it consists of producing a resin-containing powder, and further hot-pressing and firing the powder. By the above method, while maintaining the non-porous property of the glassy carbon material, the addition of whiskers is ensured at 10% or more, increasing the bending strength, etc., and creating a thick carbon material without cracks, which has not been previously possible. product is obtained. The resin powder used in the present invention may be one that becomes glassy carbon after hot-pressure molding and firing, and phenolic resins (thermal resins obtained by condensing phenols and aldehydes with acid or alkali) may be used. Examples of the hardening resin include phenol formaldehyde, and any thermosetting resin with a large coking value (residual carbon) such as furan resin may be used. The particle size of the resin powder may be such that it can be mixed with whiskers during wet mixing, for example,
A range of about 10 to 500 μm is sufficient. On the other hand, it is best to use whiskers with a diameter of about 0.1 to 10 μm and an aspect ratio of about 10 to 500, since it is difficult to disperse whiskers with an aspect ratio of 500 or more. is preferred for increasing bending strength. Whiskers are added in a range of 15 to 40% by weight based on the powder. If it is less than 15%, cracks may occur during firing of the molded product, and if it is more than 40%, the bending strength will be greatly reduced, which is contrary to the purpose of the present invention. Types of whiskers include, for example, β-type silicon carbide (SiC), alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), aluminum nitride (AlN), boron nitride (BN), silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ), graphite (C), Boron carbide (B 4 C) or the like can be used. Any dispersion medium may be used as long as it can disperse the resin powder and whiskers by a wet method, such as water,
Alcohols (acyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, etc.) and mixtures thereof can be used, and if necessary, anionic surfactants known as dispersants, nonionic surfactants, or coupling agents (wetting agents for resin and whiskers) can be used. sex enhancer). Although the slurry concentration does not particularly affect uniform dispersion, it is preferably 100 to 300 g solid content/(solid content: sum of resin powder weight and whisker weight) from an operational point of view. The system of the resin powder, whiskers, and dispersion medium is stirred by a conventional method such as rotary stirring to a degree that does not cut the whiskers too much to loosen and disperse the whiskers. Thereafter, it may be filtered by a conventional method and the residue may be dried, or only drying may be used as long as the dispersion state of the whiskers and resin powder does not change. In this way, a powder body in which whiskers are uniformly dispersed in the resin powder is obtained. Next, the above-mentioned dried product is hot-pressed by a conventional method, for example, into a predetermined shape by hot pressing. In hot press, the molding pressure is 10 to 100Kg/cm 2
It is carried out at a temperature of 130 to 250°C and a pressurization time of about 10 to 60 minutes. At that time, the powder is degassed by the molding pressure, and then thermally cured through a highly viscous melt. After curing, the molded article is released from the mold, which has been previously treated with a mold release agent. Furthermore, the resin powder is converted into glassy carbon by firing the molded product to obtain a glassy carbon product in which whiskers are uniformly dispersed. Regarding the firing conditions, it is preferable to carbonize the resin powder at a heating rate as slow as possible (10° C./hr or less), since this causes large thermal contraction and causes cracks when the resin powder is carbonized. The firing temperature may be graphitized depending on the case, but since resin charcoal is difficult to graphitize, it is usually sufficient to carbonize at 950 to 1200°C. Effects According to the present invention, since the whiskers are dispersed in a wet manner, they are uniformly dispersed in the glassy carbon, and unlike kneading, strong shearing force does not act during mixing, so there is almost no breakage of the whiskers, and the whiskers are dispersed in a wet manner. properties are maintained. In addition, it is possible to obtain a high-strength composite material with uniformly dispersed whiskers through heating, drying, and pressure forming, and the effect of adding whiskers can suppress thermal shrinkage during firing, making it possible to compare crack-free materials. A thick product can be obtained. Examples Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples and Comparative Examples. Examples and Comparative Examples As phenolic resin powder, true specific gravity 1.25g/
cm 3 , a bulk density of 0.3 g/cm 3 , and a particle size of 1 to 20 μm, using a heat-melting and curing type resin (manufactured by Kanebo Co., Ltd., trade name: Bell Pearl S-970), with a diameter of 0.5 to 1 μm, and an aspect ratio of 0.5 to 1 μm. Using β-type SiC whiskers with a ratio of 100 to 200, a slurry with a slurry concentration of 20% was prepared using water as a dispersion medium. Stir this slurry with a stirrer (approx.
500 rpm), water was removed by suction, and vacuum drying was performed to remove adhering moisture. The dried product was molded using a hot press. In the hot press, a 0.2 mm thick polyester film coated with silicone was placed on two aluminum plates (90 W x 90 L x 10 H mm) each equipped with a 100 W heater on the back, and a predetermined amount of the above-mentioned dried material was placed on these. It was molded at a press temperature of 150° C., a press pressure of 50 Kg/cm 2 , and a press time of 20 minutes, and after cooling, the mold was released. The molded product is sandwiched between two carbon plates and
5℃/hr from room temperature to 500℃ under a load of 15g/ cm2 , 10℃ from 500℃ to 1000℃ in breeze coke
The temperature was raised at a temperature increase rate of 1000° C./hr, and the product was fired at 1000° C. for 2 hours. After cooling, the physical properties of the fired product were measured. Table 1 below shows the amount of whiskers added to the resin.
The results of experiments with various thicknesses of molded products during molding are shown. As a comparative example, a phenol resin alone without whiskers was hot-pressed and fired in the same manner as in the examples, and its physical properties were investigated. The results are also listed in Table 1.

[Table] * Physical properties of fired products cannot be measured due to cracks during firing.As shown in Table 1, products with 30% whiskers added have the same bending strength compared to those without whiskers. The number has increased by 20%. As can be seen from the examples, the amount of whiskers added was 30
The bending strength peaks at about %, and then decreases. Further, with a single phenolic resin, firing cracks occur when the molding thickness is about 2 mm, but according to the present invention, firing cracks do not occur even when the molding thickness is 8 mm. Effects of the Invention The present invention has shown that the bending strength of conventional products made by kneading carbon filler and whiskers is several hundred.
Although it was about Kg/cm 2 , it was possible to obtain a product with high strength of about 1300 Kg/cm 2 . Furthermore, in glass-like carbon products obtained by firing resin powder, it has conventionally been said that the thickness that can be obtained without cracking is 1 mm or less, but according to the method of the present invention, the thickness when molded is 10 mm or less. This makes it possible to obtain crack-free products to a certain degree, further expanding the range of uses for high-strength carbon materials.
