This invention belongs to the field of aluminum-
copper alloy casting technology, and particularly relates to an in-situ particle-reinforced aluminum-
copper alloy and its preparation method. The aluminum-
copper alloy comprises the following components by weight percentage: 6.0% < Cu < 7.5%, 0.3% < Mn < 0.5%, 0.2% < Cd < 0.5%, 0.1% < Zr < 0.3%, 0.05% < Ti < 0.5%, 0 < V < 0.2%, 0.005 < B < 0.5%, 0 < Ce < 0.5%, with the balance being Al. This invention enhances the strength and
plasticity of the alloy by adding a
powder mixture of K2TiF6, KBF4, and CeO2 to form dispersed in-situ TiB2 particles; simultaneously, the addition of Ce disperses the TiB2 particles and other precipitated phases in the matrix, resulting in significant grain refinement and narrowing of the
dendrite spacing.
