The invention discloses a preparation method of a
copper-based
titanium carbide / aluminum
oxide surface particle strengthening
composite material, and belongs to the technical field of
metal-based
composite material preparation. The preparation method includes preparing surface strengthening layer
powder, namely self-propagating
reaction system powder; adding
polyvinyl alcohol liquor, evenly stirring the surface strengthening layer
powder and the liquor to obtain paste through mixing or obtain a precast block through pressing, applying or adhering the paste or precast block to the surface of an EPS (expandable
polystyrene)
plastic foam mold, spraying fireproof paint before
drying, and performing
copper liquid
smelting and inter-
sand casting to obtain the
copper-based TiC / Al2O3 complex-phase
ceramic surface particle strengthening
composite material. The method has the advantages that a self-propagating reaction of the surface strengthening layer powder is initiated by
casting heat, and a product is generated in situ, so that external
pollution and inclusion are avoided, and mechanical and
physical performance of a strengthened area is guaranteed; due to high
heating temperature of the self-propagating reaction, the product is enabled to be a melt which is fused on the surface of
metal, so that compactness of a strengthening
coating as well as metallurgical bonding between the strengthening
coating and a base body are guaranteed.
