[0007] By using a tungsten rod mold for molding, it is beneficial to form the same specification and uniform distribution of the porous composite material, compared with the porous metal composite material formed by additive manufacturing, the operation is more simple and efficient, and it is convenient for mass production, and can also save cost, and by adhering carbon fibers to the surface of the tungsten rod mold and plating steel on the surface of the carbon fibers to form a steel plating layer and a fibrous groove, the remaining composite material is in the form of molten pouring to form a porous metal composite material outside the plurality of tungsten rod molds, so that the formed porous surface is more corrosion-resistant and high-hardness steel, thereby effectively avoiding the deformation of the pores during use of the porous metal, and ensuring the service life, and the carbon fibers after burning form fibrous grooves on the surface of the steel plating layer, thereby increasing the contact area of the surface, thereby effectively improving the shock absorption and sound absorption performance of the porous metal, and has good popularization.

In addition, the excess liquid coating can be removed during the flushing process by water flushing. The liquid coating is a hydrophobic liquid coating, and the liquid after water flushing is recovered.

At the same time, the carbon fiber is adhered to the surface of the tungsten rod mold, and the steel is plated on the surface of the carbon fiber to form a plated steel layer and a fibrous groove. The remaining composite material is in the form of molten pouring to form a porous metal composite material outside the tungsten rod mold, so that the formed porous surface is more corrosion-resistant and high-hardness steel, which can effectively avoid the deformation of the pores during the use of the porous metal, and protect the service life.

In the process of preparing the porous metal, the carbon fiber is adhered to the tungsten rod mold to strengthen the friction of the surface of the tungsten rod mold, which is convenient for subsequent steel plating treatment. At the same time, the carbon fiber is directly burned by the tungsten rod to decompose the carbon fiber. Since the melting point of the carbon fiber is higher than that of the raw material and lower than that of the steel, the external composite material is prevented from decomposing under the isolation of the steel during the burning of the carbon fiber. It also has the effect of making the tungsten rod quickly separate. In addition, the coating and flushing are performed in the form of ultrasonic vibration. Under the action of ultrasonic vibration, the fluidity of the liquid can be effectively improved, so that it can quickly penetrate into the pores, improve the coating and flushing efficiency, and at the same time improve the uniformity of the coating. In addition, the water flushing can take away the excess liquid coating during the flushing process. The liquid coating is hydrophobic, and the liquid after flushing is recovered. Through static stratification and suction device, the liquid coating can be recovered, forming secondary utilization, and reducing the cost of the action.
