Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal-ceramic materials technology, and in particular to a high-entropy interface-induced metal-ceramic material and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Ti(C,N)-based cermets are composite materials prepared by powder metallurgy, consisting of titanium carbide (TiC) and titanium nitride (TiN) solid solutions as hard phases, combined with metallic binder phases (such as Ni and Co) and auxiliary carbides. They combine the high hardness and high temperature resistance of ceramics with the toughness of metals and are widely used in cutting tools, wear-resistant parts and other fields. However, because the core hard phase of Ti(C,N)-based cermets is a solid solution formed by titanium carbide and titanium nitride, it is essentially a covalently bond-dominated (i.e., titanium carbide and titanium nitride are predominantly covalently bonded) ceramic phase. This phase has high bond energy but strong directionality, resulting in high atomic slip resistance. It cannot dissipate stress through plastic deformation (such as dislocation movement), leading to localized stress concentration and crack initiation and propagation. Furthermore, when Ti(C,N) particles are large or unevenly distributed, stress concentration points easily form between the particles, creating weak areas. Under stress, these weak areas preferentially crack and propagate rapidly. In addition, the large difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the Ti(C,N) hard phase and the metal bonding phase generates thermal mismatch stress during sintering and cooling, leading to microcracks and other defects within the material. All of these factors contribute to insufficient toughness in Ti(C,N)-based cermets, severely limiting their service life and application range.
[0003] Traditional toughening methods, such as simple coating structures or single additive regulation, are problematic. Simple coating typically involves coating the surface of the Ti(C,N) hard phase with a layer of metal or alloy to form a "core-ring" structure, thereby improving interfacial bonding and inhibiting grain growth. However, this method suffers from difficulties in precisely controlling interfacial strength, performance fluctuations due to uneven coating structure, and the inability to solve problems such as agglomeration or coarseness of hard phase particles. Single additives usually improve toughness by adjusting composition, but the addition of a single additive can easily disrupt the performance balance (e.g., adding a single highly ductile metal like Co can improve the toughness of the binder phase but significantly reduce the material's hardness; adding a single tungsten carbide can improve toughness through grain refinement, but excessive tungsten carbide can easily form a brittle (W,Ti)(C,N) solid solution, leading to interfacial defects). In short, traditional toughening methods struggle to effectively balance high hardness and high toughness, and the regulation methods suffer from poor stability and consistency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a high-entropy interface-induced metal-ceramic material.

In the three-stage solid-state sintering and liquid-phase sintering, magnetic field control is introduced. After cooling and demagnetization, the metal ceramic material is obtained.
[0017] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the vacuum drying in step S1 is carried out at a temperature of 90-110℃ and a vacuum degree of 2-6Pa for 1.5-2.5 hours to remove adsorbed water from the surface of the matrix powder; after drying, it is transferred to a sealed container protected by argon gas for storage and to avoid secondary moisture absorption.
[0018] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the specific method for preparing amorphous nickel-based alloys using the solution quenching method is as follows: metallic nickel, chromium, boron, and silicon are proportioned according to the atomic ratios in the amorphous alloy system, added to a vacuum arc furnace, and quenched under a vacuum degree not exceeding 10. -3 The amorphous ribbon is melted at a melting temperature of 1500–1560℃. Then, an amorphous ribbon with a thickness of 20–50 μm is prepared using a single-roller rapid quenching device with a copper roller speed of 28–32 m / s. Finally, the amorphous ribbon is crushed into small particles using an agate mortar and sieved using a 200-mesh sieve. The sieved particles are then vacuum-sealed in aluminum foil bags for later use.
[0019] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the preparation of high-entropy carbide precursors by the sol-gel synthesis method is specifically as follows:
[0020] First, weigh WCl6 (tungsten hexachloride), MoCl5 (molybdenum pentachloride), TaCl5 (tantalum pentachloride), NbCl5 (niobium pentachloride), ZrCl4 (zirconium tetrachloride), and a carbon source in atomic molar ratios. Dissolve the metal chlorides in a mixed solvent of ethanol and deionized water, with a volume ratio of ethanol to deionized water of 3–4:1 and a mass ratio of metal chlorides to the mixed solvent of 1:5–10. Stir at 300–400 rpm for 28–32 minutes. Then add the carbon source to the stirred solution. In a mixed solution, the pH was adjusted to 3.0 with nitric acid; the mixture was stirred for 1.8–2.2 h in a water bath at 55–65 °C and 250–350 rpm to form a wet gel; the wet gel was then transferred to an oven and dried at 115–125 °C for 11–13 h to obtain a dry gel; finally, the dry gel was placed in an argon atmosphere calcination furnace and heated to 1350–1450 °C at a rate of 4.5–5.5 °C / min and held for 1.8–2.2 h to obtain a high-entropy carbide precursor.
[0021] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the carbon source can be any one of furfuryl alcohol, glucose, or phenolic resin.
[0022] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the specific method for synthesizing high-entropy solid solutions using laser solid-state technology is as follows: a high-entropy carbide precursor is laid flat on a 5mm thick graphite substrate, and a pulsed Nd:YAG laser is used for scanning. The laser wavelength is 1064nm, the power is 2.5kW, the pulse frequency is 50Hz, the laser spot diameter is 2mm, and the scanning speed is 8mm / s, achieving 10 7 The cooling rate is K / s; after laser scanning, the powder is collected to obtain a high-entropy solid solution.
[0023] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the specific preparation method for the core-shell structure powder of niobium-encapsulated high-entropy solid solution by ball milling is as follows:
[0024] First, weigh 5%–8% of the high-entropy solid solution niobium powder (particle size 100–300 nm, purity 99.99%) and add it together with the high-entropy solid solution powder into a planetary ball mill. Use anhydrous ethanol as the dispersant and tungsten carbide balls (5 mm in diameter) as the ball milling medium. The ball-to-material ratio is 6–8:1, the rotation speed is 350–450 rpm, and the milling time is 3.5–4.5 h. After milling, vacuum dry at a temperature of 80–100 °C and a vacuum degree of 2–6 Pa for 2–4 h to obtain the core-shell structure powder.
[0025] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the mass percentages of the pretreated matrix powder, amorphous nickel-based alloy, and pretreated high-entropy solid solution in step S5 are: 45%–50%, 18%–22%, and 28%–33%, respectively; the mixing and ball milling specifically involves: loading each raw material into a stainless steel ball mill jar and evacuating it to 10... -3 After Pa, argon gas is introduced to 0.1 MPa. Carbide (5 mm in diameter) is used as the ball milling medium, with a ball-to-material ratio of 8-10:1, a rotation speed of 250-350 rpm, and ball milling for 11-13 hours (during ball milling, after every 30 minutes of ball milling, the machine is stopped for 10 minutes for heat dissipation) to achieve mixed ball milling of raw materials. The gradient magnetic field pretreatment is as follows: after mixed ball milling, the ball milled powder is placed in a multi-layer NdFeB magnet array (that is, multiple NdFeB magnets are combined by layering and stacking), and a gradient magnetic field of 0.8 T with a magnetic field gradient of 10 T / m is applied. The powder is left to stand at room temperature for 25-35 minutes to guide paramagnetic elements such as W and Nb to migrate to the preset interface. The bidirectional molding is as follows: the powder after gradient magnetic field pretreatment is loaded into a graphite mold and molded using a bidirectional press. A pressure of 140-160 MPa is applied bidirectionally and held for 4-6 minutes. After molding, water is circulated to cool the mold to ensure that the mold temperature does not exceed 50℃.
[0026] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, in step S6, the low-temperature pre-sintering specifically involves: heating to 590-610℃ at a heating rate of 8-10℃ / min and holding at that temperature for 0.9-1.1h.
[0027] The three-stage solid-state sintering process is as follows: First, the temperature is increased to 1080–1120℃ at a heating rate of 10–12℃ / min, held for 1.3–1.7 h, and simultaneously the axial gradient magnetic field is activated, applying an axial gradient magnetic field of 0.6T with a gradient of 8T / m. Then, the temperature is increased to 1180–1220℃ at a heating rate of 14–16℃ / min, held for 1.3–1.7 h, and an axial gradient magnetic field of 0.8T with a gradient of 8T / m is applied. Finally, the temperature is increased to 1280–1320℃ at a heating rate of 10–12℃ / min, held for 1.8–2.2 h, and the magnetic field is switched from axial to radial, applying a radial gradient magnetic field of 0.8T with a gradient of 10T / m.
[0028] The liquid phase sintering process specifically involves heating the temperature to 1410–1500℃ at a heating rate of 4–6℃ / min, holding the temperature for 0.8–1.2 h, and simultaneously applying an axial gradient magnetic field of 1.0T with a gradient of 8T / m.
[0029] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, in step S6, cooling demagnetization specifically involves cooling to 750-850°C at a cooling rate of 2.5-3.5°C / min, and then cooling to room temperature with the furnace; simultaneously using an alternating magnetic field for demagnetization to ensure that the residual magnetism of the finished product is no greater than 0.01T.
[0030] The following are the technical effects of this solution:
[0031] This invention achieves the preparation of high-entropy solid solutions through sol-gel synthesis and laser solid-state synthesis, replacing the traditional combination of high-energy ball milling and thermal reaction. This not only avoids the problem of dispersion of hard and binder phases in the high-entropy solid solution components during ball milling, making it difficult to form a uniform high-entropy alloy, but also avoids the problem of local segregation caused by insufficient diffusion of refractory metals (tungsten, molybdenum, etc.) due to low thermal reaction temperature after high-energy ball milling. Subsequently, by utilizing the preparation of amorphous nickel-based alloys and high-entropy solid solution core-shell structures, the amorphous phase preferentially forms a good liquid phase during sintering, filling the interparticle gaps between the matrix and the high-entropy solid solution and improving the overall density of the material. Simultaneously, the amorphous nickel-based alloy crystallizes during sintering, effectively hindering the diffusion of hard phase elements such as Ti, C, and N from the Ti(C,N) matrix to the binder phase, while reducing the loss of strong carbides from the high-entropy solid solution to the nickel-based phase, improving the interfacial bonding strength and ensuring the overall mechanical properties of the cermet material. In addition, the amorphous alloy not only provides an efficient medium for the diffusion of the core-shell structure and promotes the uniform formation of the high-melting-point phase transition layer (the transition layer anchors the migration path of the high-entropy solid solution and enhances the metallurgical bonding of the interface through lattice matching), its crystallization products also provide good plasticity and toughness, reduce interfacial stress concentration, thereby avoiding problems such as local brittleness or corrosion failure caused by component segregation and ensuring the consistency of material properties.
[0032] This invention combines a Ti(C,N) hard phase, a nickel (Ni)-based binder phase, and a high-entropy solid solution wetting control phase to form a metal-ceramic material with high hardness, high fracture toughness, and high flexural strength, effectively improving crack passivation ability and enhancing interface strength, thus realizing the construction of high-performance ceramic materials.
