[0038] In order to deepen the understanding of the present application, the present application will be further described below in conjunction with examples, which are only used to explain the present application and do not constitute a limitation to the protection scope of the present application.
[0039] Example one (T1)
[0040] The present embodiment provides a liquid-liquid composite ceramic inlay high-wear-resistance pendulum, which has a shape structure as shown in Figure 1 The preparation method comprises the following steps:
[0041] S1, mold preparation: a steel mold is selected, an upper end conical cavity and a lower end rectangular cavity are arranged inside, and a stepped platform with a width of 10 cm is formed at the junction of the two. The whole mold is preheated to 180℃ for standby.
[0042] S2, ceramic core installation: basalt-based ceramic cores are installed into the positioning grooves at the junction positions of the mold, the upper end of the ceramic cores is 10 cm higher than the stepped platform, and the embedding depth is maintained at 10 cm.
[0043] The raw material ratio of the ceramic core is: basalt powder 78wt%, γ-Al2O3 powder 8wt%, TiO2 powder 2wt%, Fe2O3 powder 1wt%, Li2O-SiO2 glass micro powder 8wt%, and Na2O-B2O3 low-melting-point binder 1wt%. Each raw material is wet ball milled for 8 hours under the condition of a ball-to-material ratio of 4:1 to obtain a stable slurry. After adding 1.5wt% polyvinyl alcohol, spray drying is carried out, the inlet temperature is 220℃, and the outlet temperature is 90℃, to obtain a granulated powder with an average particle size of 65μm.
[0044] The granulated powder is pressed in an isostatic pressing equipment for 90s under a pressure of 200MPa to obtain a green body with good density. Then, pre-oxidation treatment is carried out by heating to 650℃ for 1.5h, sintering is carried out by continuing to heat to 1380℃ for 3h and then heating to 1460℃ for 1h, to obtain a dense ceramic core, which has a thermal expansion coefficient compatible with the thermal expansion behavior of W-Ni-Fe alloy.
[0045] S3, first pouring: basalt block material with a chemical composition of SiO248wt%, Al2O316wt%, Fe2O37wt%, MgO6wt%, CaO7wt%, Na2O+K2O5wt%, and the rest being TiO2 and trace elements, is heated to 1480℃ in a quartz crucible to completely melt, and is injected into the upper end conical cavity under a vacuum condition of 0.08MPa to form a primary condensed basalt melt shell with a thickness of 6mm.
[0046] S4, Second Pouring: Within 80s after the first pouring is completed, a W-Ni-Fe alloy melt is prepared, with a ratio of 94wt% tungsten powder, 5wt% nickel-iron alloy (wherein Ni:Fe = 2.5:1), and 1wt% aluminum powder, wherein the tungsten powder has a particle size controlled at 3μm, and the smelting temperature is controlled at 1430℃. The melt is poured from the upside end of the mold to be placed upside down, so that the alloy melt flows and covers the exposed area of the ceramic core. Since the basalt initial solidification layer is in a semi-solid and semi-liquid state, the alloy melt forms a natural disturbance interface with the non-solidified part thereof.
[0047] S5, Solidification and Cooling: After the alloy melt is poured, an axial pressure of 0.5MPa is applied to the mold for 120s. Subsequently, it is cooled at a rate of 10℃ / min to 650℃, and naturally kept at this temperature for 40min, and finally naturally air-cooled to room temperature to obtain a ceramic-metal metallurgical bond.

The raw materials are ball milled in a ball-to-material ratio of 4:1 for 10h to form a stable dispersion slurry. After 1wt% polyvinyl alcohol is added, spray drying is performed at an inlet temperature of 210℃ and an outlet temperature of 85℃ to obtain granulated powder with an average particle size of about 72μm.
[0053] The powder is formed by cold isostatic pressing at a pressure of 180MPa for 90s. The green body is heated to 620℃ for 2h for pre-oxidation, then heated to 1350℃ at a rate of 5℃ / min for 3h, and then heated to 1450℃ for 0.5h for sintering.
[0054] S3, First pouring: basalt material with the mass composition of SiO2 50wt%, Al2O3 15wt%, Fe2O3 6wt%, MgO 5wt%, CaO 8wt%, Na2O+K2O 4wt%, and the rest of TiO2 and impurities, is melted and degassed at 1450℃.

[0055] S4, Second pouring: within about 50s after the first pouring is completed, W-Ni-Fe alloy melt is poured into the lower end rectangular cavity. The alloy ratio is: tungsten powder 95wt%, nickel-iron alloy 4wt% (wherein Ni:Fe=3:1), aluminum powder 1wt%, the particle size of tungsten powder is 1μm, and the smelting temperature is 1405℃. After the melt covers the exposed surface of the ceramic core, it flows naturally to form an embedded interface with the basalt primary solidified layer which is still in a viscous plastic state.
[0056] S5, Solidification and cooling: an axial pressure of 0.4 MPa is applied to the mold for 90s, and then cooled to 600℃ at a rate of 15℃ / min, and kept at this temperature for 30min, and finally cooled to room temperature by water.

[0133] The experiment compared and analyzed the differences in a number of key performance indicators between examples T1, T2, T3 and comparative examples C1, C2, C3 and C4, and the test contents included SEM observation, density, hardness, impact toughness, wear performance and interface shear strength.
[0134] In Figure 2 , (a) represents the SEM photo of the example one sample, (b) represents the SEM photo of the example two sample, and (c) represents the SEM photo of the example three sample, it can be seen that there is sufficient fusion between the basalt melt and the W-Ni-Fe alloy, forming an irregular interface with good occlusion effect, and there are ceramic particles (black arrow) precipitated in the basalt melt, which are integrated into the W-Ni-Fe alloy, which can further improve the wear resistance of the impact tester product.
[0135] In the density test, as shown in Figure 3 , the average densities of examples T1, T2 and T3 are 13.1 g / cm 3 , 12.8 g / cm 3 and 12.9 g / cm 3 , respectively, which are significantly higher than those of comparative examples C1 (11.4 g / cm 3 ) and C2 (11.0 g / cm 3 ). This shows that under the conditions of alloy melt fluidity, ceramic core size matching and optimized controlled cooling system, the density of the composite can be effectively improved. The densities of C3 and C4, which represent the prior art solutions, are 9.2 g / cm 3 and 11.9 g / cm 3 , respectively, which have obvious deficiencies, reflecting the limitations of single material or split casting structure in overall forming.
[0136] In terms of hardness, as shown in Figure 4 , the HRC value of the ceramic part of T1 is 78.6, and the alloy substrate is 61.3, T2 and T3 also show a close level, while the hardness of the ceramic part of C1 and C2 is reduced to 72.4 and 70.1 respectively, and the substrate hardness is also lower than 60HRC, which shows that the adjustment of ceramic formula and alloy composition can effectively improve the organization density and microstructure stability. The overall hardness distribution of C3 and C4 is relatively uneven, and the local value is low.
[0137] In the impact toughness test, as shown in Figure 5 , the absorbed energy of T1 and T2 is 19.6 J / cm 2 and 18.2 J / cm 2 , respectively, which is much higher than that of C1 (13.5 J / cm 2) and C2 (12.0 J / cm 2 ). T3 is slightly lower (17.9 J / cm 2 ), but remains in a good range. It can be seen that the ceramic core height control, melt interaction time and interface processing method directly affect the stability of the composite zone under dynamic load. C3 and C4 are significantly deteriorated due to single material composition or lack of interface structure, with a toughness of only 10.6 J / cm 2 and 11.4 J / cm 2 , respectively.
[0138] In terms of wear performance, as shown in Figure 6 , the average weight loss of T1 group is 6.4 mg, and T2 and T3 are 7.0 mg and 6.7 mg, respectively, which are significantly better than C1 (10.3 mg) and C2 (11.6 mg). This trend shows that the good synergistic matching between the ceramic part and the alloy substrate and the structure of the metallurgical transition zone have a positive effect on the wear resistance under abrasive erosion. While C3 and C4 have higher wear values due to defects in the material body or interface, reaching 13.9 mg and 9.8 mg, respectively, which is difficult to meet the needs of continuous heavy load working conditions.
[0139] In terms of interface shear strength, as shown in Figure 7 , the T1 group sample shows the best performance, with an average shear strength of 42.3 MPa, T2 and T3 are 39.7 MPa and 40.1 MPa, respectively, C1 and C2 are significantly lower, only 28.6 MPa and 26.2 MPa, reflecting that they failed to form effective physical engagement and chemical wetting in the alloy impact pouring and ceramic initial setting state. C3 and C4 have different process paths, with interface shear strengths of 19.4 MPa and 23.6 MPa, respectively, showing typical weak interface characteristics of non-metallurgical bonding.
[0140] In summary, examples T1-T3 are superior to the comparative examples and prior art in multiple performance indicators, verifying the effectiveness of the liquid-liquid composite pouring path, ceramic core compound system and interface process parameters proposed by the present application in improving overall performance. Especially in achieving the comprehensive performance goals of high density, strong interface bonding and high wear resistance, it shows strong technical advantages and application prospects.
