Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer material preparation, specifically to an enhanced ABS conductive resin and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Compared with traditional aluminum alloys, aluminum-based composite materials possess superior comprehensive properties, such as high specific strength, good wear resistance, high electrical conductivity, and low coefficient of thermal expansion, thus showing great promise for applications. Currently, aluminum-silicon and aluminum-copper alloys are widely used due to their respective advantages, but their significant drawbacks have hindered their application and development in modern industry.
[0003] Continuous fiber reinforced metal matrix composites were a major focus of early research, but their development was limited by the high cost of continuous fiber preparation, interfacial issues, and difficulties in composite material preparation and molding. Compared to continuous fiber reinforced metal matrix composites, particulate reinforced metal matrix composites, especially particulate reinforced aluminum matrix composites, have advantages such as lower production costs and simpler preparation processes.
[0004] The research and development of particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composites has progressed from the stage of large-particle doping to the current stage of nanoparticle doping. Due to continuous improvements in processes, particularly the application of ultrasonic dispersion technology in aluminum alloy smelting, research on aluminum-based nanocomposites has achieved certain scientific results in both hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical processes. However, the lack of standardized criteria for particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composites, as well as the incompleteness of microscopic composite and interface theories, has limited the research and application of these materials.
[0005] With the development of metal matrix composites, ceramic materials have been introduced into metals to improve their strength. However, unfortunately, the large particle size of ceramic micron particles affects the plasticity and machinability of composite materials to some extent. The significant differences in physicochemical properties between the ceramic reinforcing phase and the aluminum alloy matrix pose challenges to the preparation and research of aluminum matrix composites. Therefore, developing or improving the preparation technology of aluminum matrix nanocomposites to produce aluminum matrix nanocomposites with excellent comprehensive mechanical properties is a key research focus at present.

A specific template is used to prepare the reinforcing filler into a ceramic material of a specific shape. The ceramic material is used as the reinforcing filler for reinforcing the aluminum matrix to prepare an aluminum-based nanocomposite material with excellent comprehensive mechanical properties.

[0008] S1. Weigh the following components according to the following weight ratios: silicon 0.12-0.15%, iron 0.14-0.18%, copper 0.03-0.08%, manganese 0.01-0.04%, magnesium 0.01-0.03%, zinc 0.02-0.05%, vanadium 0.02-0.05%, with the balance being aluminum. Heat the above components until they melt to obtain molten aluminum.
[0009] S2. The TiC-modified alumina is made into preforms, preheated at 280-320℃, and then placed into a mold at 280-320℃;
[0010] S3. Pour the molten aluminum prepared in step S1 into a mold at 720-760℃. The volume fraction of the preform is 3-13%. Pressurize it with 80-150MPa so that the molten aluminum can penetrate into the preform. Solidify under pressure and hold for 15-20 seconds. After the casting has solidified, perform solution treatment and aging treatment to obtain reinforced aluminum alloy material.
[0011] Preferably, the method for preparing the TiC-modified alumina is as follows:
[0012] S11. Add aluminum isopropoxide to hot water, stir to fully hydrolyze the aluminum isopropoxide, then add nitric acid dropwise to continue the reaction and obtain aluminum oxide sol;
[0013] S12. After washing and drying the feathers, soak them to allow the sol to adhere to the surface of the feathers. After soaking, centrifuge the feathers to remove excess sol from the surface. Then dry the feathers coated with sol to gel the sol. Repeat the soaking, centrifugation and drying steps 1-3 times. Finally, disperse the sample and perform heat treatment to obtain feather-shaped alumina.
[0014] S13. Add tetrabutyl titanate to an ethanol solution and stir until the tetrabutyl titanate is fully hydrolyzed. Then add graphite powder, stir, filter, dry, and grind into a mixed powder.
[0015] S14. The mixed powder prepared in step S3 is spread on the feather-shaped alumina prepared in step S2 and subjected to laser in-situ reaction under an argon atmosphere to obtain TiC modified alumina.
[0016] Preferably, in step S11, the molar ratio of aluminum isopropoxide, water, and nitric acid is 1:100:1.
[0017] Preferably, in step S12, the feathers are three-dimensional spherical down clusters with an average diameter of 1-2 cm, and the heat treatment involves a heating rate of approximately 2-4 °C / min and holding at 350-400 °C and 600-680 °C for 5-9 hours respectively.
[0018] Preferably, the ratio of tetrabutyl titanate to graphite powder in step S13 is 4-6:1 mL / g.
[0019] Preferably, the laser parameters in step S14 are: laser power 1500-2000W, scanning speed 200-240mm / min, and spot diameter 2.5-3.5mm.
[0020] Preferably, the solution treatment and aging process involves holding the material at 500-520℃ for 4-6 hours, then quenching it in warm water to cool to room temperature, then holding it at 180-200℃ for 2-3 hours, and finally cooling it in air to room temperature.
[0021] Beneficial effects: The reinforced ABS conductive resin and its preparation method of the present invention have the following advantages:
[0022] 1. In this invention, poultry feathers are selected as template materials. The downy clusters in the feathers are three-dimensional spherical, consisting of a downy core and many radiating downy filaments, similar to dandelions. When used as templates to prepare ceramic materials, they are not only reinforced by ceramic particles, but also by ceramic fibers. Preparing them into preforms has a good mechanical strengthening effect.
[0023] 2. The reinforcing phase in this invention has a hindering effect on crack propagation. The mechanism is as follows: the crack propagation is deflected in front of the reinforcing phase, which also improves the strength of the composite material. Under external stress, cracks first form in the matrix. When the crack encounters the reinforcing phase during propagation, the crack propagation is blunted or the propagation path is deflected, making the crack path tortuous, consuming more fracture energy, and increasing the energy required for crack propagation. The crack path changes from straight to tortuous, which also improves the strength of the composite material. Detailed Implementation
