Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal matrix composite material preparation technology, and in particular to a copper oxide modified graphene reinforced magnesium matrix composite material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Magnesium and its alloys possess advantages such as low density, high specific strength, good machinability, and strong thermal conductivity, making them among the most promising materials. However, compared to aluminum and iron and their alloys, magnesium and its alloys have disadvantages such as low elastic modulus and poor mechanical properties, which severely restrict their further applications. Compared to pure magnesium and its alloys, magnesium-based composite materials have higher strength, better ductility, excellent thermal conductivity and hydrogen storage properties, and also possess the lightweight and vibration damping properties of magnesium and its alloys. They are a good structural and functional material and are currently one of the research hotspots in the field of materials science.

[0003] Graphene is a lightweight and high-strength two-dimensional monolithic material. In addition to its excellent optical, thermal and electrical conductivity, it also has the characteristics of low density, high elastic modulus and high tensile strength. As a good reinforcement, it has been used to prepare polymer composites, inorganic non-metallic composites and metal matrix composites. Current research results show that the addition of a small amount of graphene can greatly improve the strength and fracture toughness of the product, achieving the goal of high performance and lightweight.

[0004] Currently, two main problems exist in the research of graphene-reinforced magnesium matrix composites: ① Graphene has a strong tendency to self-aggregate, resulting in uneven dispersion in the magnesium alloy matrix; ② Poor wettability between graphene and the magnesium matrix leads to poor interfacial bonding strength. These factors severely affect the performance of graphene-reinforced magnesium matrix composites. To address these issues, researchers often employ high-energy ball milling in the composite material preparation process. While this method can improve the dispersion of graphene in the metal matrix and enhance the interfacial bonding strength, it severely damages the graphene structure, negatively impacting its reinforcing effect. Furthermore, the heat generated during ball milling easily leads to magnesium alloy oxidation, and the magnesium oxide content produced during this process is uncontrollable, its impact on the composite material's performance remaining unknown.

[0005] Patent CN108707773A discloses a method for preparing graphene-reinforced aluminum-based composite materials. This method involves first plating a copper or nickel layer on the surface of graphene, then ball milling it with metal powder, and finally mixing it with aluminum or an aluminum alloy to obtain the graphene-reinforced aluminum matrix composite material. This patent uses ball milling to obtain the mixed powder; however, the ball milling process severely damages the structure of graphene, making it difficult to achieve the reinforcing effect of graphene. Wet mixing, on the other hand, can achieve uniform mixing of graphene and metal powder using a dispersant.

[0006] Patent CN110331318A discloses a method for preparing graphene and carbon nanotube-reinforced aluminum-based composite materials. This method first involves copper and nickel plating of activated and sensitized graphene and carbon nanotubes. The copper- and nickel-plated graphene and carbon nanotubes are then mixed with magnesium powder, aluminum powder, and anhydrous ethanol to obtain a suspension. After ultrasonic dispersion and drying, a composite powder is obtained. This powder is then cold-pressed and sintered to obtain the graphene and carbon nanotube-reinforced aluminum-based composite material. This patent uses a vacuum hot-pressing sintering method to obtain the composite material, which has a long sintering time and causes continuous grain growth, making it impossible to obtain a composite material with fine grains and good mechanical properties.
