The invention relates to the technical field of
ceramic materials, in particular to a
hardness-enhanced
nickel / high-entropy
diboride composite material and a low-temperature densification preparation method thereof. According to the
composite material, HfB2, ZrB2, TaB2, TiB2, MeB2 (MeB2 = NbB2, WB2 and VB2) and
nickel powder are adopted as initial raw materials, the
molar ratio of the initial raw materials to the
nickel powder is 1: 1: 1: 1: 1: 0.1, the weighed
raw material powder is subjected to ball milling, mixing and
drying, the dried powder is sintered through a
discharge plasma sintering furnace, lattice
distortion factors of materials adopting different MeB2 raw materials are calculated respectively, and the
hardness-enhanced nickel / high-entropy
diboride composite material is obtained. The effects of reducing the
sintering temperature and enhancing the
toughness of the material are achieved by adding the
sintering aid, the influence of component change on the
hardness is predicted by adopting the lattice
distortion factor, and the nickel / high-entropy
diboride composite material with high strength, high hardness and high
toughness can be prepared at low temperature.
