The invention belongs to the technical field of material preparation and in particular relates to a preparation method of a WC-Co-cBN composite material. The preparation method of the WC-Co-cBN composite material comprises the following steps: firstly weighing WC, metal Co powder and cBN raw material in proportion, uniformly mixing, mixing by carrying out ball milling, drying the mixed raw materials in a drying oven at the temperature of 50-200 DEG C, then sieving with a sieve of 100-300 meshes, putting the dried raw materials into a mould, then placing the mould into a hot-pressing sintering furnace, heating the sintering furnace to 1200-1400 DEG C at a speed of 30-50 DEG C/min, insulating for 5-30 minutes, and maintaining pressure to be 20-50MPa, so that the WC-Co-cBN composite material is obtained. The preparation method of the WC-Co-cBN composite material has the advantages that the hot-pressing method is adopted, the sintering temperature is low, sintering time is short, and no phase transformation of cBN can be guaranteed while the WC-Co-cBN composite material has high shrinkage percentage and high volume density; meanwhile, hot pressing energy consumption is low, cost is low, operation is easy, and safety coefficient is high.
