The invention provides nano
ceramic metal composite
powder for 3D printing and application. A
metal material is used as a matrix, and
ceramic particles are used as a reinforcing phase. One or more
ceramic particles of micron-sized TiC, TiB2, WC, SiC, CrC, Al2O3, Y2O3 and TiO2 are used as raw materials, the
mass percent of the added ceramic particles is 0.5-10.0%, through a specific ball milling process,
plasma spheroidization,
airflow classification and screening, the
metal composite
powder with high
sphericity, good fluidity, narrow particle size range and uniformly distributed nano-ceramicsis obtained, and the high requirement of a 3D printing technology for
powder is met; and a nano-ceramic reinforced metal
composite material is prepared through the 3D printing technology. According tothe prepared metal
composite material, nano ceramic phases are uniformly distributed, and the metal
composite material has excellent mechanical properties. Micron-sized ceramic particles are adopted,uniform dispersion is achieved through nanocrystallization, and the cost is low; and parts in any complex shape can be integrally formed and prepared, and the material
utilization rate is increased.
