[0081] The surface performance after high-speed laser cladding processing of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 is shown in Table 2.

[0082] Table 2 Surface performance after processing

[0083]

[0084] From the test results, it can be seen that the relevant properties of Examples 1-3 are better than those of Comparative Examples 1-4 in terms of comprehensive performance, especially in terms of wear resistance and hardness. In combination with the performance parameters of the prepared powders, it can be seen that the carbon-containing particles have good compatibility with the nickel matrix metal powder during the preparation process, and the mixing is relatively uniform. From the comparison of the test data of Examples 1-3, it can be seen that the change of parameters during the preparation process has a certain influence on the performance of the final product. From the comparison of the test data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that the performance of the mixture of the modified silicon carbide and carbon nanotubes with the nickel matrix metal powder is better than that of the mixture of the silicon carbide, carbon nanotubes and nickel matrix metal powder, which may be because the modification can help the dispersion of the silicon carbide and carbon nanotubes, avoiding the agglomeration phenomenon of the silicon carbide and carbon nanotubes after being directly added.

[0085] Silicon carbide has the characteristics of strong heat conduction, good mechanical properties, small thermal expansion coefficient, good thermal performance, stable physical and chemical properties. The introduction of silicon carbide in the process of material preparation can effectively improve the wear resistance, thereby prolonging the service life. Carbon nanotubes have excellent mechanical and chemical properties, and the composite of carbon nanotubes and materials can enhance the strength and impact resistance of the materials. In the present application, a particle reinforced nickel-based metal powder is provided, which is composed of a nickel matrix metal powder and a carbon-containing particle. In the preparation process of the carbon-containing particle, first, a high-pressure reaction kettle is used, in which sodium, silicon powder and tetrabromomethane are added, and silicon carbide particles are obtained by reaction at high temperature; secondly, γ-aminopropyl triethoxysilane is added, and after reaction, centrifugation and washing, amino-modified silicon carbide is obtained, which is dispersed in tetrahydrofuran and then reacts with benzene partial triacid glycoside, and after centrifugation and washing, carboxyl-modified silicon carbide is obtained, which is further mixed with thionyl chloride in the presence of N,N-dimethylformamide to obtain silicon carbide with carbonyl chloride functional groups; further, carbon nanotubes are dispersed in toluene, reacted with azobisisobutyronitrile, washed and dried to obtain black powder, then the remaining nickel chloride hexahydrate and tetrahydrofuran are mixed, aluminum powder is added for reaction, then diluted with tetrahydrofuran and filtered, impurities are dissolved by adding dilute sulfuric acid, and then suction filtration and washing are carried out to obtain aminated carbon nanotubes; finally, the prepared aminated carbon nanotubes and pyrrole are mixed and dissolved in tetrahydrofuran, and the obtained silicon carbide with carbonyl chloride functional groups is added to react, then dilute hydrochloric acid and deionized water are added, and after vacuum distillation, toluene dilution, low temperature treatment, vacuum filtration and washing, the carbonized silicon and carbon nanotube composite carbon-containing particles are obtained. Then in the preparation process of the particle reinforced nickel-based metal powder, the nickel matrix metal powder is mixed according to the composition ratio of each raw material, and then vacuum smelting nickel ingot is carried out, the powder is collected and sieved, the sieved alloy composite powder is uniformly mixed with the carbon-containing particles in a corresponding ratio in a mixer to obtain the particle reinforced nickel-based metal powder, and the prepared particle reinforced nickel-based metal powder is used for surface manufacturing and repair by using ultra-high-speed laser cladding technology. In this process, the silicon carbide and carbon nanotube composite carbon-containing particles are dispersed in the nickel matrix metal powder, the carbon-containing particles are entangled in three-dimensional space, and the surface or interior of the carbon-containing particles is attached with metal powder. Compared with the prior art which only contains nickel-based metal powder, in the process of surface manufacturing and repair, the added carbon-containing particles can play a role similar to a column in the metal matrix, and more energy needs to be absorbed to break the covalent bond structure in the carbon nanotube and the bonding between the carbon nanotube and the metal when fracture occurs, thereby achieving the effect of reinforcement. In addition, silicon carbide is also introduced in the preparation of the carbon-containing particle, which has good mechanical properties and small thermal expansion coefficient, and can effectively reduce the occurrence of cracking after surface repair by interacting with the carbon nanotube.Compared with directly adding carbon nanotubes and silicon carbide into nickel-based metal powder, the carbon-containing particles with silicon carbide and carbon nanotube composite are introduced, and with the lubrication of carbon nanotubes, silicon carbide can be effectively dispersed, and the agglomeration phenomenon caused by direct addition and mixing unevenness can be prevented, so as to affect the final surface performance.
