The invention relates to an air conditioner aluminum
pipe and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of aluminum
alloy material preparation. Through gradient matching of
silicon carbide powder with different particle sizes,
silicon carbide with smaller particle sizes is deposited at the bottom of
silicon carbide with larger particle sizes, a gradient distribution type filler layer with a compact inner core layer and higher outer shell layer strength is formed, and when an
alloy component vibrates, stress is generally concentrated on the
surface layer, so that the vibration resistance of the
alloy component is improved. The high-strength filler on the
surface layer can improve the
hardness and
crack resistance of the
surface layer, and the high-density filler on the core part ensures the
toughness of the matrix and balances the
crack resistance and
impact resistance, so that the interface stress generated by the difference of
elastic modulus between the filler and the matrix is avoided, and the risk that the filler matrix interface becomes a fatigue crack source is reduced. And meanwhile,
silicon carbide has high
hardness, high strength and good heat
conductivity. A high-
hardness wear-resistant layer can be formed on the surface layer of the alloy material through gradient distribution, wear and
crack initiation in the vibration process are resisted, and the anti-
vibration fatigue performance is improved.
