The invention discloses a high-strength high-tenacity
graphene-enhanced
copper-based
composite material and a biomimetic preparation method for a nacreous layer thereof. The biomimetic preparation method for the nacreous layer comprises the steps that firstly, solute atom super-saturated
copper-
chromium alloy powder is prepared through atomizing powdering; then nanometer
chromium phase is precipitated through aging treatment; then ball milling is conducted and sheet-shaped
powder is acquired; then an electrochemical de-alloying method is utilized, the
copper element in the sheet-shaped powderis dissolved selectively, and
chromium-phase protrusions are constructed in the surface of the
powder; then through a
slurry method,
polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is adsorbed to the surface of the sheet-shaped powder, and PVA-modified copper-chromium sheet-shaped powder is formed; and orderly piling up of powder is formed through
free falling in
alcohol, then a block body material is prepared through
spark plasma sintering (SPS) and densification, a thermo-mechanical treatment manner is adopted so that nanophase chromium in the surface of the sheet-shaped powder is in contact mutually and diffused and bridged into a nacreous layer mineral bridge biomimetic structure, and the
graphene / copper-chromium based
composite material is acquired. According to the biomimetic preparation method for the nacreous layer, through
biomimetics of a "
brick-mud-bridge" structure of the nacreous layer, the strength and tenacity of the copper-based
composite material are improved, and in addition, good conductive property and tribological property are acquired.
