The invention discloses a
silicon nitride-based self-lubricating
composite material. The
silicon nitride-based self-lubricating
composite material is prepared from the following chemical components in percentage by volume: 8 to 12 percent of OLC (Onion-like carbon), 8 to 12 percent of
TiN0.3 and the balance of alpha-Si3N4. A preparation method of the self-lubricating material comprises the following steps: putting the
TiN0.3, the OLC and the alpha-Si3N4 into a planetary
ball mill, wherein a ratio of
grinding media to material is 10 to 1, and the rotating speed is 300 to 350r / min;
clockwise rotating for 30 minutes, stopping for 15 minutes, counterclockwise rotating for 30 minutes, stopping for 15 minutes, and circulating for four cycles; filling a die with mixed
powder, maintaining the pressure of 20 to 40MPa for 10s,
drying for 8 hours, and then carrying out high-temperature and high-pressure
sintering, wherein the pressure is 5GPa; heating to 1480 to 1520 DEG C, keeping the temperature for 14 to 16 minutes, and furnace cooling;
grinding a prepared blank, and carrying out deburring treatment to obtain the Si3N4-based self-lubricating
composite material. The self-lubricating composite material prepared by the preparation method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of high
hardness, high
thermal shock resistance,
wear resistance,
corrosion resistance and the like; the self-lubricating composite material also has higher
toughness, and is suitable for being applied to a
device material between
lubrication-free interfaces at higher temperature.
