Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal-based composite material preparation, and relates to a short-process preparation method of a high-conductivity and high-wear-resistant titanium diboride / copper-boron composite material. Background Art

[0002] Ceramic particle-reinforced copper-based composites are widely used in the field of electrical materials due to their excellent mechanical and electrical properties. Among the many methods for preparing copper-based composites, the composite casting method has the advantages of simple process, ability to prepare complex structural workpieces, low manufacturing cost, and suitability for industrial production, making it one of the important technical means for preparing ceramic-reinforced copper-based composites. However, due to the existence of specific gravity segregation and incomplete in-situ reaction, the ceramic phase reacts and forms only in certain areas of the composite matrix, causing it to segregate in the copper matrix, directly affecting the performance of the composite material. This is also the technical obstacle that currently limits the large-scale application of the composite casting method.

[0003] Titanium diboride ceramic particles, a rare conductive ceramic, are widely used in copper-based composites. Currently, the mainstream method for preparing titanium diboride / copper-based composites is an in-situ reaction. However, due to the extremely short in-situ reaction time between the Ti and B elements, the resulting titanium diboride particles adsorb, aggregate, and grow, deteriorating the mechanical properties of the composite. Furthermore, the imprecise control of the B and Ti content in conventional copper-boron and copper-titanium master alloys results in the presence of incompletely reacted Ti, which affects the electrical conductivity of the composite. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a short-process preparation method for a highly conductive and wear-resistant titanium diboride / copper boron composite material, which solves the problems of gravity segregation and insufficient Ti reaction in the in-situ self-generated titanium diboride / copper composite material prepared by the existing composite casting method.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is a short-process preparation method of a high-conductivity and high-wear-resistant titanium diboride / copper boron composite material, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Weigh 70.0-90.2 wt.% of oxygen-free copper block A, 5.0-15.3 wt.% of magnesium, and 4.8-14.7 wt.% of boron oxide by mass, and the sum of the mass percentages of the above components is 100%; weigh 93.1-98.6 wt.% of oxygen-free copper block B and 1.4-6.9 wt.% of titanium particles by mass, and the sum of the mass percentages of the above components is 100%;

[0007] Step 2: placing the weighed oxygen-free copper block A, magnesium, and boron oxide into the inner cavity of one side of a double-cavity crucible, and placing the weighed oxygen-free copper block B and titanium particles into the inner cavity of the other side of the double-cavity crucible, based on the mass percentage of titanium diboride in the composite material being 1 to 5 wt.%, and the mass percentage of boron being 0.5 to 1.5 wt.%. The double-cavity crucible is located in a vacuum induction furnace, and a pouring funnel and a water-cooled copper mold are placed below the double-cavity crucible in sequence;

[0008] Step 3, performing induction melting under an argon atmosphere, and after the raw materials are completely melted, casting them into a water-cooled copper mold through a pouring funnel to obtain a cast titanium diboride / copper boron block;

[0009] Step 4: subjecting the as-cast titanium diboride / copper boron block to thermomechanical treatment to achieve a deformation of 60-70%, thereby obtaining a highly conductive and wear-resistant titanium diboride / copper boron composite material.

[0010] In step 2, a 200-325 mesh tungsten mesh is placed on the top of one side of the pouring funnel opposite to the inner cavity of the crucible where the oxygen-free copper block A, magnesium and boron oxide are placed.

[0011] The double-cavity crucible is a cylindrical graphite crucible with a vertical baffle installed in the middle, which divides the crucible cavity into two separate cavities.

[0012] The specific process of step 3 is as follows: use a two-stage vacuum system to exhaust the air in the vacuum induction furnace and fill it with high-purity argon. At the same time, preheat the pouring funnel and perform induction melting in an argon atmosphere. After the raw materials in the double-cavity crucible are completely melted, flip the double-cavity crucible to allow the melt to enter the pouring funnel. When the melt passes through the melt flow channel in the pouring funnel, the two metal liquids are fully mixed and react in situ, and finally flow into a water-cooled copper mold to obtain a cast titanium diboride / copper boron block.

[0013] In step 3, a two-stage vacuum system is used to exhaust the air in the vacuum induction furnace. When the vacuum degree reaches 3.6×10 -2 After reaching 0.05 MPa, the vacuum system was turned off and high-purity argon was filled in to make the total pressure in the furnace chamber -0.05 MPa. The above vacuuming and argon filling processes were repeated 3 times. At the same time, the pouring funnel was preheated to raise the pouring funnel temperature to 1100°C, the induction heating power was turned on, and the induction heating power was increased to 12 kW ~ 14 kW at a rate of 1 kW / min. After the raw materials in the double-cavity crucible were completely melted, the melt temperature was measured. When the melt temperature was 1300 ~ 1500°C, it was kept warm for 3 min ~ 5 min, and then the double-cavity crucible was turned over.

[0014] In step 4, the cast titanium diboride / copper boron block is subjected to deformation heat treatment, including first placing the cast titanium diboride / copper boron block in a muffle furnace, heating it to 800°C and keeping it warm for 30 minutes, and then forging it with an air forging hammer. After each deformation of 10%, it is placed in a muffle furnace and heated to 800°C and kept warm for 5 minutes. When the total deformation exceeds 50%, the single deformation is 5%, and after the single deformation, it is placed in a muffle furnace and heated to 800°C and kept warm for 5 minutes, until the final total deformation reaches 60-70%.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] (1) By introducing 0.5-1.5wt.% excess boron, the Ti element is forced to react completely to form titanium diboride particles. Since copper-based composite materials are mainly used in the field of electrical materials, they have high requirements for electrical conductivity. In the process of preparing titanium diboride copper-based composite materials by in-situ reaction, the reaction is difficult to control, so there will often be residual Ti elements. However, the residual Ti elements in the composite material will directly deteriorate the electrical conductivity of the alloy. Therefore, by excessively adding 0.5-1.5wt.% of B elements, it can be ensured that there is no residual Ti element in the composite material, thereby improving the electrical conductivity of the composite material. In addition, the excessive B element makes the composite material a copper-boron matrix. The addition of B element improves the wear resistance of the material, so that the composite material has both high electrical conductivity and high wear resistance.

[0017] (2) Since Ti and B elements are very likely to react in situ in the copper melt to generate titanium diboride particles, if the titanium-containing melt and the B-containing melt are mixed before pouring, it will directly lead to the adsorption and agglomeration of titanium diboride particles, causing serious segregation of the composite material, thereby affecting the electrical conductivity, wear resistance and strength of the alloy. The present application separates the titanium-containing melt and the B-containing melt through a double-cavity crucible, blocking the generation of TiB2 during the smelting process from the source, effectively avoiding the generation of segregation and agglomeration, and finally obtaining a titanium diboride / copper boron composite material with complete reaction, uniform dispersion distribution and good comprehensive performance;

[0018] (3) Due to the great difference in melting points between Cu (melting point of 1083°C) and B (melting point of 2076°C), the conventional method for preparing copper-boron alloy is to use powder metallurgy to mix copper powder and boron powder, press them into a blank, and then obtain them by hot pressing and sintering. This method is inefficient and cannot accurately grasp the content of element B. The present application uses oxygen-free copper block, magnesium and boron oxide as raw materials, adopts molten salt method to prepare copper-boron intermediate alloy, introduces element B in the form of adding boron oxide, and adopts redox reaction method to reduce Mg from boron oxide and generate magnesium oxide particles. This method avoids secondary heating of copper-boron alloy and reduces component burnout. At the same time, this method does not require pre-preparation of copper-boron alloy, reduces the process, and realizes the short process for preparing titanium diboride / copper-boron composite material.

[0019] (4) By placing a tungsten mesh on the top of the pouring funnel opposite to the inner cavity of the crucible where the oxygen-free copper block A, magnesium and boron oxide are placed, the generated magnesium oxide particles and other infusible impurities can be prevented from entering the melt;

[0020] (5) There are tiny shrinkage holes in the as-cast composite material. By subjecting the composite material to large plastic deformation through thermomechanical treatment, the tiny casting defects inside the material can be removed and the strength of the composite material can be improved.

[0021] (6) The preparation method of the present application has fewer steps, low cost, extremely competitive performance, and is easy to industrialize, so it has great development prospects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
