The invention discloses a nano titanium carbide particle reinforced ADC12 aluminum matrix composite and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the steps that nano titanium carbide powder and aluminum powder are put into a ball mill to be subjected to ball milling, and mixed powder composed of the nano titanium carbide and the aluminum is obtained; an aluminum ingot is put into a smelting furnace, aluminum-silicon intermediate alloy is added into the smelting furnace, then, copper is added into the smelting furnace, finally, the mixed powder composed of the nano titaniumcarbide and the aluminum is added into the smelting furnace, a refining agent is added for deslagging and degassing, a molten liquid sample is analyzed and adjusted, chemical elements comprise 9.6-12.0% of silicon, 1.5-3.5% of the copper, 1.0-3.0% of the nano titanium carbide and the balance aluminum, drossing and casting molding are conducted, and a blank needing to be subjected to post-treatment is obtained; and the blank needing to be subjected to post-treatment is put into a heat treatment furnace to be heated and subjected to heat preservation, and then is taken out of the heat treatmentfurnace to be subjected to water quenching, after water quenching, heating and heat preservation are conducted again, and a finished product is obtained. The microstructure of an ADC12 aluminum matrix is perfected, and the mechanical property is improved. The technology is simple, convenient and stable, the preparation cost is low, and environmental friendliness is achieved.
