The invention provides a
graphite and
ceramic composite material and a preparation method thereof. The
graphite and
ceramic composite material is prepared by compounding a porous
graphite framework and
ceramic; the graphite and the ceramic are alternatively and uniformly distributed; the
volume fraction of the porous graphite framework is 30 to 70%, and the balance amount is ceramic. The preparation method comprises the following steps of firstly, utilizing the porous graphite framework which is quickly prepared by a
selective laser sintering forming technique, carbonizing, and
coating the
ceramic coating; utilizing a gel injection molding forming technique to fill the ceramic material, freeze-
drying under the vacuum condition, discharging glue, and
sintering at high temperature, so as toobtain the graphite and
ceramic composite material. The graphite and
ceramic composite material prepared by the preparation method has the characteristics that the heat
conductivity is low, and the strength is high; the
chemical stability is good, the heat expansion coefficient is low, the anti-thermal vibration ability is excellent, and the high-temperature
metal liquid
impact can be endured fora long time; after secondary mechanical
cutting processing, the graphite and
ceramic composite material can be repeatedly used for multiple times, and can replace the traditional water glass sand type; the graphite and ceramic
composite material can be matched with the graphite
casting in the production of steel castings.
