The invention discloses a TiB2 / TiC reinforced high-
silicon heat-resistant aluminum-based
composite material and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
metal-based composite materials. Aluminum
powder,
titanium powder and
metal oxide powder are mixed and then centrifugally sprayed to be prepared into small balls; mixing the small balls with aluminum powder,
boron oxide powder and carbon powder, and pressing into a prefabricated body;
smelting the intermediate
alloy A, adding the preform and a covering agent for heat preservation, cooling, adding the intermediate
alloy B, and stirring to obtain a mixed melt; and degassing and removing impurities from the mixed melt, refining and slagging, and then pouring to obtain the TiB2 / TiC reinforced high-
silicon heat-resistant aluminum-based
composite material. According to the preparation method, the TiB2 / TiC reinforced phase is generated in situ in the
aluminum substrate through two-stage reaction, the reinforced micro-nano TiC and TiB2
ceramic particles are high in bonding capacity with a
metal-based interface, a transition interface is free of impurities, and the
mechanical property of the material is greatly improved. And the
ceramic particles produced by the preparation method have the advantages of good dispersion degree in the matrix, less agglomeration, faster reaction process, fast
particle generation speed and no generation of harmful gas.
