The invention discloses a method for preparing a Zr3Si2 material based on
electric arc melting, crushing and
sintering, and relates to the technical field of
zirconium alloy preparation. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, synthesizing a Zr3Si2 material through an
electric arc melting method
liquid phase reaction, then, carrying out
mechanical crushing and ball milling to obtain
powder, and finally, carrying out
powder densification
sintering by using
spark plasma sintering, thereby obtaining the Zr3Si2 / Zr3Si2
composite material. The
electric arc melting technology is used for providing a high-temperature environment, reactants can be completely molten,
molten silicon and
zirconium are fully diffused and react, and it is ensured that the product purity is high. And rapid
smelting and rapid cooling are achieved through electric arc
smelting, the phenomenon of
grain growth can be avoided, and a uniform
microstructure is formed. Only
silicon and
zirconium are used as raw materials, no other substances participate in the reaction, the raw materials are pure, the reaction is carried out through a
liquid phase, the raw materials are fully mixed, generation of other zirconium-
silicon intermetallic compounds is reduced, Zr3Si2 obtained through the reaction is high in purity, and introduction of impurities is reduced to a great extent.
