The invention discloses a
surface modified SiC reinforced aluminum-based
composite material and a preparation method thereof. The
surface modified SiC reinforced aluminum-based
composite material is characterized by taking a
metal aluminum as a matrix and taking a
surface modified SiC porous
ceramic as a reinforcement; the preparation method includes the steps that firstly SiC is deposited on a carbon foam substrate through a CVI method; a carbon foam framework is removed through an oxidation method to obtain a SiC porous
ceramic blank body; the SiC porous
ceramic is further obtained through aPIP method; then
porous SiC whiskers are prepared on an outer layer of the SiC porous ceramic through
laser sintering; and finally the SiC reinforced aluminum-based
composite material is prepared through high-pressure infiltration. The surface-modified SiC reinforced aluminum-based composite material is uniform in structure distribution and good in forming property, and due to
surface modification, the strength of the composite material is ensured and the
wear resistance of the composite material is improved. By means of the surface modified SiC reinforced aluminum-based composite material, the problems that SiC of a traditional
silicon carbide reinforced aluminum-based composite material is not uniformly dispersed in an aluminum matrix, the
wear resistance is poor are solved, and the surface modified SiC reinforced aluminum-based composite material can be widely applied to bearing structural parts in the
aerospace field.
