The invention relates to a method and device for
sintering synchronous connection of
metal matrix composite materials assisted by pulsed
electric field and ultrasonic field, and discloses a method for connecting a
magnesium (or
copper) matrix
composite material containing a high
volume fraction reinforcing phase to stainless steel while
sintering. The devices involved in this method include: a closed
heating furnace, a
pulse current loading
system, an ultrasonic load applying
system, a pressure and lifting
system, and auxiliary devices such as sealed insulating tubes. The significant
advantage of adopting the present invention is that the
sintering of the
metal matrix
composite material and the connection of different materials are carried out simultaneously; the
pulse current flows through the experimental material, causing interface resistance heat and
plasma discharge heat, and the sintering and connection interface temperature rises and cools quickly, reducing external
radiation heat, reduce the
residual stress of the joint; use the
coupling effect of pulsed
electric field-ultrasonic field-pressure field to break the
oxide film on the surface of the reinforcement phase, realize sintering under atmospheric conditions, reduce the
activation energy of
atomic diffusion, promote the interface metallurgical reaction, and control the particle shape and size , refine the interface grains, improve the quality and stability of the joint, and is conducive to the preparation of
metal matrix composites /
alloy joints with high comprehensive performance.
