Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of metal matrix composite material manufacturing, and specifically relates to a method for preparing a particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composite material by using a stir friction additive technology. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of marine engineering, transportation, aerospace and other fields, higher requirements are placed on the comprehensive performance of materials. However, the performance of high-performance alloy materials under the guidance of classical metallurgical theory is approaching its theoretical limit. Composite materials provide a combination of excellent properties that are difficult to achieve with traditional alloys, which can achieve mutual synergy among the components in the material, and even overcome the inherent deficiencies of its single component, achieving a breakthrough in the structural or functional properties of the material. Particle-reinforced aluminum-based composites have become one of the most commonly used and important materials in metal-based composites. The addition of reinforcement is mainly to make up for the deficiencies in certain aspects of the matrix material, such as improving stiffness, wear resistance, high temperature performance and thermal physical properties. Particle-reinforced aluminum-based composites are widely used in aerospace, automotive, chemical and transportation industries due to their superior specific strength, low thermal expansion coefficient and excellent wear resistance.

[0003] Friction stir additive manufacturing (FSAM) technology is a new additive manufacturing technology based on the principle of friction stir welding. The friction heat generated by the stirring head and the plastic deformation work are used to fuse the additive material with the substrate, and the manufacturing of three-dimensional complex shape components is transformed into a simple two-dimensional plane shape layer by layer reciprocating stacking, ultimately achieving additive manufacturing. Since the friction stir additive process does not involve the melting and solidification of the material, the additive parts have fewer internal defects, less stress, and better performance. Therefore, the use of friction stir additive manufacturing technology to prepare particle reinforced composites has unique advantages. However, during the preparation process, carbides (SiC, B 4 C, etc.) reinforcement phases easily react strongly with aluminum-based composite materials to produce more harmful phase reaction products, such as Al 4 C 3 The results are uneven particle distribution, low interface strength, and decreased composite material performance.

[0036] In this document, the terms “include” or “comprising” are open expressions, that is, including the contents specified in the present invention but not excluding other contents.

[0037] In a first aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for preparing a particle-reinforced aluminum-based composite material, comprising the following steps:

[0038] Adding mixed powder onto the aluminum rod, wherein the mixed powder includes a reinforcing phase powder and a titanium element;

[0039] The aluminum rod containing the mixed powder is processed by stir friction additive manufacturing technology, and a replacement reaction occurs to form a particle-reinforced aluminum-based composite material.

[0040] The present invention uses stir friction additive manufacturing technology to prepare particle-reinforced aluminum-based composite materials, and adds a mixed powder of reinforcing phase powder and titanium element to an aluminum rod, including adding it to the outside and / or inside of the aluminum rod. During the preparation process, the aluminum rod undergoes friction heat generation and softens. While the softened aluminum rod combines with the matrix, the reinforcing phase powder is uniformly embedded in the aluminum rod to form a particle-reinforced composite material. In order to avoid the harmful phase Al produced by the reaction of the reinforcing phase and the aluminum rod, 4 C 3 Doped in the composite material, so titanium is added to the reinforcing phase powder, titanium and Al 4 C 3 The Al element in the solution undergoes a substitution reaction to replace the harmful phase and reduce the Al 4 C 3 Content of intermetallic compounds. Harmful phase Al 4 C 3 Generally, it is highly brittle and has poor heat resistance. When it is doped in a composite material, the toughness of the material decreases, it is easy to break, and the overall strength and ductility of the composite material are reduced. Therefore, the harmful phase needs to be removed from the particle-reinforced composite material. Therefore, the preparation method of the particle-reinforced aluminum-based composite material of the present invention can effectively reduce the harmful phase substance Al by adding titanium element to the reinforcing phase. 4 C 3 , thereby enhancing the strength of aluminum-based composite materials and improving their ductility and other properties.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the titanium element includes titanium powder.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, the method of adding mixed powder to the aluminum rod includes: machining a groove inside the aluminum rod and adding the mixed powder into the groove; and / or forming a coating on the outer surface of the aluminum rod with the mixed powder.

[0043] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a groove is machined inside the aluminum rod, and then the mixed powder is filled into the groove. Figure 1 As shown, a rectangular aluminum rod 2 is provided, a groove is coaxially provided at one axial end of the aluminum rod 2, the groove is square in the radial interface direction of the aluminum rod 2, and a mixed powder is filled in the groove as a reinforcement phase (the preparation process is as shown in Figure 4 and / or, the mixed powder is coated on the outer surface of the aluminum rod by smearing or the like, and the content of the reinforcing phase is controlled by adjusting the coating thickness and / or area. Both methods can form a particle-reinforced aluminum-based composite material with excellent performance.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, in the step of forming a coating on the outer surface of the aluminum rod with the mixed powder, the coating thickness is 0.1 μm to 2 mm, and the coating area is 1 to 100% of the outer surface area of ​​the aluminum rod.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the mixed powder satisfies at least one of the following:

[0046] (1) The reinforcing phase powder includes B 4 At least one of C powder and SiC powder;

[0047] (2) The particle size of the mixed powder particles includes nanometer or micrometer scale;

[0048] (3) The amount of mixed powder added is 100% of the volume of the groove;

[0049] (4) The mass of the titanium element is 0 to 15% of the mass of the mixed powder.

[0050] During the friction stir additive manufacturing process, the aluminum rod will 4 C and other strengthening phases react to produce Al 4 C 3 The harmful phase, Al 4 C 3 Further substitution reaction occurs with titanium to reduce or remove harmful phases. This can improve the strength and other properties of the composite material. 4 The chemical reaction that occurs when C contacts is as follows:

[0051] 10Al+3B 4 C=6AlB 2 +Al 4 C 3

[0052] The Al generated by this reaction 4 C 3 The hydrolysis of brittle intermetallic compounds can easily cause fatal damage to the toughness and corrosion resistance of composite materials. In order to avoid the reaction between the carbon element in the reinforcing phase of the composite material and the aluminum matrix to produce harmful phases, the Al 4 C 3 The Al element in the phase is replaced to form a TiC reinforcement phase, reducing the Al 4 C 3 phase. At the same time, the Ti element can also convert the by-product AlB 2 The Al in the solution is replaced, and the chemical reaction is as follows:

[0053] Al 4 C 3 +3Ti=3TiC+4Al

[0054] AB 2 +Ti=TiB 2 +Al

[0055] The Gibbs free energy of the three reactions as a function of temperature is as follows Figure 2As shown, the Gibbs free energy of the substitution reaction between Ti and Al is lower than that of the formation of Al 4 C 3 The Gibbs free energy of the phase, in which Ti converts Al 4 C 3 The Gibbs free energy of the Al phase is the lowest. Therefore, in the process of stir friction additive manufacturing, by adding an appropriate amount of Ti element, the harmful Al 4 C 3 Intermetallic compounds are replaced by favorable TiC and TiB 2 Enhanced phase.

[0056] Therefore, by adding titanium to produce a substitution reaction, the strength, hardness, stability and other properties of the particle-reinforced aluminum-based composite material can be effectively improved.

[0057] As an example, the mass of the titanium element is 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, etc. of the mass of the mixed powder.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, the volume of the groove is 0-50% of the volume of the alloy rod.

[0059] As an example, the volume of the groove is 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, etc., of the volume of the alloy rod.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, the aluminum rod has a non-cylindrical shape.

[0061] When the shape of the metal rod is non-cylindrical, it is beneficial for the friction stir additive device to fix and drive the metal rod to prevent it from slipping off the welding tool.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the step of adding the mixed powder into the groove includes: pressing the mixed powder into a block or a solid shape and embedding the mixed powder into the aluminum rod.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, aluminum powder may be added to the mixed powder to improve formability.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, a friction stir additive manufacturing process includes a friction stir additive manufacturing device.

[0065] The friction stir material adding device and the principle of preparing particle reinforced aluminum matrix composite material according to the present invention are shown in Figure 3 As an example, Figure 3As shown, firstly, an aluminum rod 2 filled with mixed powder 1 is placed in a stir friction additive manufacturing device welding tool 3. During the stir friction additive manufacturing process, the welding tool rotates while driving the aluminum rod to rotate and move, so that friction generates heat to soften the alloy. While the softened alloy is combined with the matrix 5, the reinforcing phase powder is evenly embedded in the alloy, and at the same time, the titanium element and the harmful phase generated undergo a substitution reaction. While the matrix and the welding tool are relatively translated, the aluminum rod is fed downward under the action of axial pressure, and the material is stacked and connected layer by layer to form an additive layer 4 under a high temperature, high pressure and high rheology state. Therefore, the particle-reinforced aluminum-based composite material of the present invention has excellent performance.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, the rotation speed of the welding tool of the friction stir additive device is 10 to 10000 rpm / min, and the travel speed is 10 to 5000 mm / min.

[0067] As an example, the rotation speed is 10 rpm, 100 rpm, 500 rpm, 1000 rpm, 1500 rpm, 2000 rpm, 5000 rpm, 10000 rpm, etc.

[0068] As an example, the travel speed is 10 mm / min, 50 mm / min, 100 mm / min, 150 mm / min, 200 mm / min, 500 mm / min, 1000 mm / min, 3000 mm / min, 5000 mm / min, etc.

[0069] In a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a particle-reinforced aluminum-based composite material, including the particle-reinforced aluminum-based composite material prepared by the method of the first aspect. Therefore, the particle-reinforced aluminum-based composite material of the present invention has excellent properties such as strength, hardness, stability, and ductility.
