The invention discloses a preparation method of a high-heat-conductivity diamond-copper composite, and relates to a preparation method of a composite. The problems that an existing preparation methodof diamond-copper composite cannot achieve net shape forming, high quality and large batch preparation of large-size sheet samples is solved. The preparation method comprises the steps that diamond powder is placed into a die and compacted to form a precast body, the precast body is hoisted to the lower end of a lifting rod on the upper portion inside an air pressure infiltration furnace, and a crucible containing copper alloy is placed below the precast body in the furnace; vacuumizing is carried out, heating and copper melting are carried out under protection of inert gas, the lifting rod descends, pressurization infiltration is carried out, pressure is kept for cooling, pressure is released, and finally the die is removed. The preparation method has the beneficial effects that high-efficiency mass production can be achieved, the mechanical property is high, the rate of finished products is high, large-size sheet samples can be prepared, sample heat conductivity is improved, the preparation cost is low, the content of impurities is low, and the forming die and the crucible can be repeatedly used. The preparation method is applicable to preparing the high-heat-conductivity diamond-copper composite and component.
