The invention discloses a non-stoichiometric ratio TiC reinforced
copper-based composite and a preparation method thereof and belongs to the technical field of metallurgical composites. The composite is composed of, by
mass percentage, 1-5% of non-stoichiometric ratio TiC particles and the balance a base body
copper alloy. The base body
copper alloy is a Cu-Ni-Sn-Si
alloy. The preparation method comprises the following steps of 1, conducting vacuum in-situ reactive
sintering on Ti2SnC, Ti3SiC2 and Cu
powder to prepare a non-stoichiometric ratio TiC / Cu intermediate material; 2, placing Cu into a vacuum induction
smelting furnace, after the Cu is fully molten, sequentially adding Ni, the TiC / Cu intermediate material, Sn and Si into the vacuum induction
smelting furnace for
smelting, so that a non-stoichiometric ratio TiC / Cu-Ni-Sn-Si
powder material is obtained, and then conducting gas atomization treatment on the TiC / Cu-Ni-Sn-Si
powder material, so that prealloy powder is obtained; and 3, conducting ball milling, cold pressing for blank production,
vacuum sintering,
extrusion and heat treatment on the prealloy powder, so that the TiC / Cu-based composite is obtained. The non-stoichiometric ratio TiC reinforced copper-based composite has the beneficial effects of being good in strength, low in
friction coefficient, high in abrasion resistance and the like.
