The invention relates to a preparation method for a Ti3SiC2
ceramic material, which comprises the following steps of: firstly, preparing Ti, Si and C into mixture, adding
sodium stearate dispersing agent and little amount of A1 into the mixture for enhancing
sintering, adopting a dry method for ball milling to lead the mixture to be mechanically alloyed to form main phases such as Ti, Si and little amount of SiC as well as Ti5Si3
fine powder, using an
alcohol wet method to take materials from the ball-milled
powder, and vacuum-
drying; putting the dried
powder into a
graphite grinding tool, and carrying out hot-pressing and
sintering under the condition of
argon or vacuum. The preparation method uses Ti
powder, Si powder, C powder and little amount of additives for high-energy ball milling, fining crystalline grain, simultaneously carrying out
in situ reaction to generate little amount of SiC, Ti5Si3 intermediate phase. The compound powder forms a machinable
ceramic material with the main phases of Ti3SiC2 after hot-pressed and sintered. The preparation method has simple technique and low firing temperature, and the
prepared material has even and compact structure.
