The invention discloses a nanometer aluminum
oxide reinforced 316L stainless steel
composite material and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps that mixed
powder A is subjected to
powder laying and
laser forming, and a formed body is obtained;
stress regulation and control are carried out on the formed body, and the nanometer aluminum
oxide reinforced 316L stainless steel
composite material is obtained; the mixed
powder A is a mixed powder obtained by ball-milling 316L steel powder and pretreated Al2O3 powder together; and the pretreatment process of the Al2O3 powder comprises the steps that spherical Al2O3 is placed in NH4OH to be subjected to
erosion treatment, washing and
drying are carried out after
erosion, and the pretreated Al2O3 powder is obtained. The nanometer aluminum
oxide reinforced 316L stainless steel
composite material contains 0.1%-0.2% of nanoscale Al2O3 particles and the balance a 316L matrix. According to the method, the nanometer aluminum oxide reinforced 316L stainless steel composite material is prepared through the
laser melting technology, the method has the characteristics of being high in
machining speed, high in efficiency and short in working procedure, meanwhile, the
ceramic material Al2O3 can be evenly distributed in a 316L stainless steel matrix, the strength of 316L is remarkably improved, and the method has important significance for expanding the applicability of 316L.
