This invention discloses a Cu@
basalt fiber / porous aluminum
composite material and its preparation method, belonging to the field of material preparation technology. The method of this invention utilizes
diffusion between
copper atoms on the surface of
basalt fibers and aluminum atoms in the porous aluminum matrix to generate a metallurgical bonding interface, improving the
interfacial bonding force. This results in a material with both high strength and high sound absorption properties, meeting the application requirements in sound absorption and
noise reduction technologies. The obtained material has a
porosity of 81.71%–83.38%, a pore size of 0.4 mm–0.5 mm, a
basalt fiber volume fraction of 7 vol.%–8 vol.%, a
fiber diameter of 20 μm–30 μm, and a fiber length of 1 mm–2 mm. The compressive yield strength of the in-situ
diffusion metallurgically reinforced Cu@
basalt fiber / porous aluminum
composite material can reach 4.71 MPa–5.37 MPa, which is 5.4%–7.62% higher than that of
basalt fiber / porous aluminum composite materials with the same
porosity and pore size.
