The invention belongs to the field of metal materials, and particularly relates to an aluminum oxide layer cladding type nanometer aluminum carbide particle reinforced aluminum matrix composite material and a manufacturing method of the aluminum oxide layer cladding type nanometer aluminum carbide particle reinforced aluminum matrix composite material. The aluminum oxide layer cladding type nanometer aluminum carbide particle reinforced aluminum matrix composite material is characterized in that according to the mass percentage of various chemical components, the mass percentage of aluminum ranges from 65% to 99.5%, the mass percentage of carbon ranges from 0.5% to 15.0%, and the balance is at least one of the magnesium element, the copper element, the silicon element, the zinc element, the ferrum element, the manganese element, the chromium element and the titanium element. Aluminum oxide cladding type nanometer aluminum carbide particles which are formed in an in-situ synthesis modeare distributed on an aluminum or aluminum alloy matrix. The manufacturing method of the aluminum oxide layer cladding type nanometer aluminum carbide particle reinforced aluminum matrix composite material comprises the steps that raw materials are prepared in proportion, and graphite powder and activated carbon are subjected to vacuum drying, and then are mixed and reserved; and commercial purityaluminum and at least one of magnesium, copper, silicon, zinc, ferrum, manganese, chromium and titanium are molten in a smelting furnace, after the temperature is stabilized, the mixed powder of thegraphite powder and the activated carbon are uniformly blown to the molten body in the argon atmosphere by a rotary blowing device, then the temperature is rapidly reduced until solidification is achieved, the materials are transferred to a resistance furnace to conduct a liquid-solid reaction, and therefore the nanometer aluminum carbide particle reinforced aluminum matrix composite material is obtained. The manufacturing method is low in cost, is green and environmentally friendly, and has the good industrial production prospect.
