This invention provides a flexible
metal mesh composite self-lubricating material and its preparation method, belonging to the field of
functional composite materials. The invention involves preparing a
perforated metal skeleton by
punching holes in a multi-layer composite
metal plate using a perforation
machine, then preparing modified PTFE by blending PTFE and functional modified fillers, and finally incorporating it into the
perforated metal skeleton. The flexible
metal mesh composite self-lubricating material is then prepared through
drying,
sintering, and rolling processes. This material can be used in
textile machinery, joint bearings, automotive door hinges, and other fields, solving the problems of poor
corrosion resistance, easy
lubricant dissipation or uneven distribution, and the inability to simultaneously achieve material strength and
lubrication performance in traditional metal-based self-lubricating materials. The self-lubricating material of this invention combines high strength, excellent
corrosion resistance, and long-lasting self-lubricating properties, exhibiting a sandwich-like flexible
composite structure with a three-dimensional interpenetrating
microstructure, demonstrating significant application potential in high-
performance engineering applications.
