Problems solved by technology

However, in this method, the carbon nanotubes are poorly dispersed in the aqueous solution, which is easy to cause the aggregation of the carbon nanotubes themselves, and the nano-zirconia particles themselves are easy to agglomerate, which also makes this method have certain application limitations.
[0005] On the other hand, in the preparation process of semi-solid slurry of carbon nanotubes / metal matrix composites, carbon nanotubes are easy to agglomerate in the melt, and the bonding with the melt interface is poor, resulting in uneven distribution of the reinforcing phase. The promotion and application of such composite materials
The process is simple and environmentally friendly, but it is difficult to control the dispersion state of carbon nanotubes during the melting process, and the pulverization of carbon nanotubes will damage their own excellent mechanical properties to a certain extent, which is not conducive to the improvement of the performance of composite materials.
In the publication number CN108085549A, titled "A Method for Preparing New Magnesium-Based Composite Materials with Ultrasonic-Assisted Mechanical Stirring", by pre-dispersing carbon nanotubes, stirring in the semi-solid region of the alloy melt, and adding carbon nanotubes, Afterwards, the melt is heated up, kept warm, cooled and dispersed ultrasonically. This process uses stirring and ultrasonic dispersion methods to promote the dispersion of carbon nanotubes in the melt to a certain extent, but it is difficult to control the size of the stirring vortex and the turbulent flow formed. Moreover, compared with the alloy, the density of carbon nanotubes is too small, and it is easy to float and agglomerate in the process of direct addition, and the problem of poor bonding with the alloy melt interface is difficult to solve
