Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of alloys, and particularly to a three-dimensional porous high-entropy alloy reinforced aluminum matrix composite material. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum matrix composites are one of the most studied and widely used materials in metal matrix composites. With the advantages of low density, high specific strength and specific stiffness, wear and fatigue resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient, good electrical and thermal conductivity, and abundant aluminum resources, it is easy to process into plastic materials, which can significantly reduce the industrial manufacturing cost. Therefore, it has a wide range of applications in many industries such as aerospace, military, electronics, automotive, and sports. The reinforcements of aluminum matrix composites include particles, whiskers (discontinuous short fibers), and continuous long fibers and other reinforcing substances. Different types of reinforcements have different characteristics. Fibers themselves have high strength and modulus, so long fiber reinforcement has a better effect, but it has anisotropy, and the axial and transverse reinforcement effects are very different; although discontinuous short fibers and particles show isotropy, the agglomeration problem inside the material is difficult to solve, which has a greater impact on the performance of the material. The commonly used reinforcement components of aluminum matrix composites mainly include non-metals or ceramics such as boron, carbon (graphite), alumina, silicon carbide, titanium boride, etc. These reinforcements can effectively improve the strength and hardness of the material, but the price is usually the reduction of plasticity. In addition, the poor wettability and interfacial reaction problems between the reinforcement and the aluminum alloy matrix will also affect the performance of the aluminum matrix composite material.

[0003] With the increasing requirements of modern technology for material properties, it is particularly important to develop new aluminum matrix composites, especially to find more suitable composite reinforcements and corresponding more perfect preparation processes to further improve the performance of aluminum matrix composites. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Technical Problem to be Solved: The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a three-dimensional porous high-entropy alloy reinforced aluminum matrix composite material with high strength and high hardness and excellent comprehensive mechanical properties.

The three-dimensional porous high-entropy alloy is a three-dimensionally connected open-cell structure with a porosity of 60 - 70% and a 1 - 2 μm nitride layer on the surface.

[0006] Preferably, the preparation method of the three-dimensional porous high-entropy alloy reinforced aluminum matrix composite material includes the following steps:

[0007] S1. Prepare the raw material powders required for the high-entropy alloy according to the proportion, and carry out mechanical alloying ball milling to mix them evenly. Add a pore-forming agent and a binder, and ball mill again to mix evenly and form a paste to obtain a uniform raw material;

[0008] S2. Put the raw material prepared in S1 into a mold for cold pressing and drying, then put it into a vacuum sintering furnace for pre-sintering, remove the pore-forming agent by water bath and dry it, and then carry out secondary sintering by plasma discharge sintering method to obtain a three-dimensional porous high-entropy alloy;

[0009] S3. Clean the three-dimensional porous high-entropy alloy prepared in S2, put it into a plasma nitriding device, introduce a mixed atmosphere of hydrogen and nitrogen and heat it for nitriding, and then cool it to room temperature in the furnace to obtain a three-dimensional porous high-entropy alloy with a nitrided layer on the surface;

[0010] S4. Place the three-dimensional porous high-entropy alloy prepared in S3 at the bottom and aluminum alloy at the top in a crucible, evacuate the vacuum, preheat the three-dimensional porous high-entropy alloy, then heat to melt the aluminum alloy and fill it with argon for pressurization, keep the temperature and pressure until infiltration is completed and then solidify to obtain a three-dimensional porous high-entropy alloy reinforced aluminum matrix composite.

[0011] Preferably, the rotation speed of the mechanical alloying ball milling in step S1 is 300 - 350 r / min, and the ball milling time is 20 - 24 h.

[0012] Preferably, the pore-forming agent in step S1 is NaCl, the particle size is 200 - 300 μm, and the addition amount of NaCl is 100 - 150% of the volume of the metal powder; the binder is absolute ethanol, and the addition amount of absolute ethanol is 7 - 10% of the mass of the metal powder.

[0013] Preferably, the pre-sintering temperature in step S2 is 750 - 800 °C, and the holding time is 4 - 6 h; the secondary sintering temperature is 1100 - 1300 °C, and the holding time is 3 - 5 h.

[0014] Preferably, the heating temperature in step S3 is 480 - 520 °C, the nitriding time is 1 - 2 h, and the ratio of nitrogen to hydrogen in the mixed atmosphere is 1:1 - 2.

[0015] Preferably, the preheating temperature of the three-dimensional porous high-entropy alloy in step S4 is 400 - 420 °C, and the heating temperature of the molten aluminum alloy is 720 - 780 °C.

[0016] Preferably, the composition of the aluminum alloy matrix consists of the following weight percentages: Zn: 5.5 - 6.0 wt%, Mg: 2.0 - 2.5 wt%, Cu: 1.3 - 1.7 wt%, Cr: 0.15 - 0.33 wt%, Fe: ≤0.15 wt%, Si: ≤0.1 wt%, and the balance is Al.

[0018] Beneficial effects: In the aluminum matrix composite material of the present invention, the three-dimensional porous high-entropy alloy is used as the reinforcement. It not only has high strength and high hardness, but also has good interfacial bonding with the matrix. At the same time, the three-dimensional structure makes the material isotropic, improving the comprehensive performance of the material.

[0019] Ceramics are commonly used reinforcements for aluminum matrix composites, which can significantly improve the strength and hardness of the material, but the wettability between the two is poor and the bonding is not good. The configurational entropy of high-entropy alloys is relatively high, and they tend to form simple solid solution structures such as FCC and BCC rather than intermetallic compounds. Therefore, they have excellent comprehensive properties, such as high strength, high and low temperature toughness, thermal stability, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. They are not inferior to ceramics in terms of comprehensive performance, and have the advantage of good metal-metal interfacial bonding with the aluminum matrix, and are ideal reinforcements for metal matrix composites. Preparing the high-entropy alloy into a three-dimensionally connected open-cell structure as the reinforcement of the aluminum matrix composite material to form a three-dimensional interpenetrating structure with the matrix can solve the problems of unstable material performance caused by uneven dispersion of the reinforcement phase and performance differences in different orientations of the material caused by the anisotropy of the reinforcement phase. Moreover, the specific surface area of the porous material is large and the contact surface with the matrix is many, which is beneficial to further improving the bonding force between the two phases and improving the material stability. Adding a small amount of Y2O3 during the sintering process of the high-entropy alloy can effectively reduce the porosity of the sintered parts, improve the sintering quality, and make the impurities in the material be dispersed, reducing the influence of impurities on the performance of the high-entropy alloy, and at the same time playing a role in refining the grains, further improving the strength, hardness and corrosion resistance of the material. In addition, performing plasma nitriding treatment on the three-dimensional porous high-entropy alloy to form a nitride film on its surface can increase the surface roughness of the alloy, improve the bonding force between the matrix and the high-entropy alloy, and reduce the element diffusion between the two interfaces, so that the reinforcement phase can still maintain a stable composition during the casting process and under high-temperature working environments. In addition, the nitride film can also improve the hardness and corrosion resistance of the high-entropy alloy, optimizing the comprehensive performance of the material.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and positive effects:

[0021] The present invention adds a high-entropy alloy with high strength and high hardness as a composite material reinforcement, which can effectively improve the mechanical properties of the material. At the same time, a metal-metal interface is formed between the reinforcement and the matrix, with strong bonding force and good material stability.

[0022] The present invention prepares the reinforcement into a three-dimensional porous network morphology, solves the anisotropy problem of fiber reinforcements and the uneven distribution problem of particle reinforcements, and improves the comprehensive performance of the material.

[0023] The present invention uses the pressure infiltration method to prepare the composite material, which can reduce the defects of the material and the interfacial reaction between the two phases, and improve the performance and quality of the material. Specific Embodiments
