Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing nano particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites. The method comprises the steps that firstly, mixed powder of nano ceramic powder and micron-sized aluminum or aluminum alloy powder is used for preparing millimeter-sized composite particles through a dry high-energy ball mill under the protection of vacuum or argon, wherein the volume fraction of nano ceramic particles in the millimeter-sized composite particles is 10-50%; and secondly, the millimeter-sized composite particles are melted directly or added into aluminum or aluminum melt, and supersonic vibration is applied, so that the nano ceramic particles are promoted to be uniformly dispersed in the metal melt, and the nano particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites are prepared. According to the method for preparing the nano particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites, the millimeter-sized composite particles prepared through a dry milling method can be added into the metal melt easily and completely, the problems that the wettability between the nano ceramic particles and matrix metal is poor, and adding of the particles is difficult are solved, and the advantage of low cost of a casting method for preparing metal matrix composites is given to play; the nano particles in the prepared composites are distributed uniformly, and the material performance is high.
