[0051] A) Coating n layers of transition phase on the outer layer of the wear-resistant phase to obtain agglomerates, n≥1;
[0052] The hardness of the n-layer transition phase gradually decreases, and the transition phase layer in contact with the wear-resistant phase has the highest hardness;
[0053] The wear-resistant phase includes AlMgB 14 -Ni 3 Al-SiC alloy;
[0054] B) Mixing the pellets with the matrix and sintering to obtain a multi-level composite cermet.

The present invention preferably coats n layers of transition phase on the outer layer of the wear-resistant spherical powder particles to obtain the agglomerates. Yes, the wear-resistant phase spherical powder particles can be placed in the transition phase powder with the forming agent, mixed and granulated, and after pre-fired, spherical pellets with the wear-resistant phase inside and the outer layer coated with the transition phase are obtained . In the present invention, when the outer layer of the wear-resistant phase is coated with multiple transition phases, the coating can be carried out layer by layer, and the spherical powder particles of the wear-resistant phase are placed in the first layer of transition phase powder for mixing and granulation; Put the obtained particles in the second layer of transition phase powder for mixing and granulation; put the obtained particles in the third layer of transition phase powder for mixing and granulation, and so on, to obtain the wear-resistant phase inside and the outside The layer is coated with spherical particles of multiple transition phases.
[0056] In the present invention, the material, dosage and preparation method of the wear-resistant phase are consistent with the material, dosage and preparation method of the wear-resistant phase in the above technical solution, and will not be repeated here; the material and dosage of the transition phase are the same as those described above. The material and the amount of the transition phase in the technical solution are the same, and will not be repeated here; the type of the molding agent is the same as that in the above technical solution, and the details are not repeated here.
[0057] In the present invention, the mixing granulation process can be spray granulation or drum granulation well known to those skilled in the art. In the present invention, the particle size of the sintered wear-resistant phase obtained after the granulation is consistent with the particle size of the wear-resistant phase-transition phase aggregates described in the above technical solution, and can also be adjusted according to actual needs. The present invention does not Make special restrictions.
[0058] In the present invention, the obtained pellets are preferably pre-fired to obtain pre-fired pellets. In the present invention, the pre-sintering includes dewaxing and sintering.

In the present invention, sintering methods such as hot pressing sintering, spark plasma sintering, microwave sintering or hot isostatic pressing sintering can be used, and spark plasma sintering (Spark Plasma Sintering, SPS) is preferred to prepare multi-level composite cermets.

It can achieve rapid densification at a temperature several hundred degrees lower than conventional liquid phase sintering. With SPS technology, ultra-fine and nano-structured cermets with relatively uniform grain structure and high density can be prepared under low sintering temperature, short holding time, and controllable sintering pressure, and the mechanical properties produce strange "Double high (hardness and fracture toughness)" characteristics.
