The invention discloses a method for improving the strength of a
metal material. The method comprises the following steps that S1, a
metal base material is subjected to refined pretreatment; s2, low-temperature
plasma bombardment modification; s3, gradient
doping pretreatment; s4, performing ultrasonic-assisted interface fusion; s5, dynamic aging strengthening; s6, gradient cooling
stress regulation and control; and S7, post-treatment is conducted. According to the method, low-temperature
plasma bombardment modification is different from pure surface
polishing activation in the prior art, grains on the surface of the base material are refined through the bombardment effect of
plasma, meanwhile, a tiny concave-
convex structure is formed on the surface, the
binding force of a subsequent gradient doped
transition layer is improved, and the
surface strength of the base material is enhanced; besides, through the synergistic process of gradient
doping, ultrasonic-assisted interface fusion, dynamic aging and gradient cooling, comprehensive improvement of the material strength is achieved, parameters of all the steps can be flexibly adjusted according to the type of the base material and environmental conditions, and the environmental adaptability is high.
