Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of heat treatment technology for metal-based composite materials, specifically to a heat treatment apparatus for metal-based composite materials. Background Technology

[0002] Metal-based composite materials are composite materials made by artificially combining metals and their alloys with one or more metallic or non-metallic reinforcing phases. The reinforcing materials are mostly inorganic non-metals, such as ceramics, carbon, graphite, and boron, and metal wires can also be used. Together with polymer-based composites, ceramic-based composites, and carbon / carbon composites, they constitute the modern composite material system. Heat treatment is a process that involves heating a metal or alloy workpiece to a suitable temperature in a specific medium, holding it at that temperature for a certain time, and then cooling it at different rates in different media. This process controls the properties of the metal by changing its surface or internal microstructure. Metal heat treatment is one of the important processes in mechanical manufacturing. Compared with other processing techniques, heat treatment generally does not change the shape or overall chemical composition of the workpiece, but rather imparts or improves its performance by changing the internal microstructure or the surface chemical composition. Its characteristic is the improvement of the workpiece's internal quality, which is generally not visible to the naked eye. Therefore, it is a special process in mechanical manufacturing and an important aspect of quality management.

[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN214032581U discloses a heat treatment device for a novel metal-based composite material. The device includes a base and a material box.
