Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of carbon nano-tube in situ/nickel/aluminum improving and toughening alumina based composites preparation method, belong to the technology of preparing of alumina matrix composite.
Background technology
Ceramic material has the intensity height, hardness is big, high temperature resistant, anti-oxidant, resistance to wear under the high temperature, advantages such as chemical resistance is good, these excellent performances are that general common metal material, macromolecular material etc. are not available, therefore more and more are subject to people's attention.But because the weakness of the fragility of ceramic material own makes to lack when structural material uses enough reliabilities.Thereby the fragility of improving ceramic material has become one of ceramic material field problem demanding prompt solution.
Fine aluminium, nickel metal are ductile, the conduction, heat conductivility is good and some other performance, as magnetic, wave absorbtion etc., yet its relative hardness intensity is lower, density is higher relatively.If can combine pottery and metal, given play to the cooperative effect between matrix and nano particle, we might obtain a kind of very desirable material.And CNT (CNTs) has been generally acknowledged it has been a kind of structural material of excellent performance in the world, its intensity, toughness height, and percentage elongation, elastic modelling quantity are big, high abrasion resistance.Because CNTs is a kind of novel self-composed monomolecular material, have minimum yardstick and excellent mechanical property, its sealing hollow tubular structure has good stable, and has excellent mechanical property, its Young's modulus of theoretical calculation is up to 5TPa, and with adamantine identical, intensity is about 100 times of steel, and density has only 1/6 of steel, may be present specific strength and the highest material of specific stiffness.CNT also has physical characteristics such as excellent heat conductivility and electric property.Therefore, CNT is considered to optimal nano whisker toughening material, is the ultimate form of fiber-like hardening constituent.
Yet CNT in composite dispersion and and matrix between infiltration combine closely and the retentivity problem of the intact structure of CNT is the difficult problem that such composite of development faces.The method that the carbon current nanotube is applied to main employing in the ceramic matric composite has the original position method of formation, heterocoagulation and mechanical ball milling method.It is that employing directly generates CNT and obtains the carbon nanotube-ceramic based composites in ceramic matrix that original position generates rule, and this method can make CNT better disperse in matrix, but the bond strength between CNT and the matrix is not high.Heterocoagulation is dispersed in matrix respectively in the different electrolyte with wild phase mutually, suitably regulate the medium of decentralized photo solution, it is the pH value of medium, these factors such as the ratio of the number of electrolyte concentration and two kinds of particles, make the two-phase particle have opposite electric charge, by electrostatic adsorption, two-phase combines well, and make electrolyte be electroneutral, thereby make the flocculation phenomenon take place.This method can only can be improved the dispersion of CNT in matrix to a certain extent, can not better solve the dispersion difficult problem of CNT.And mechanical ball milling method [3] is that ceramic powder and scattered CNT are mixed, and ball milling mixes in ball-milling medium (ethanol).The method technical process is simpler, but be difficult to solve CNT in alumina matrix composite dispersion and and matrix between the infiltration problem.
The preparation technology of metal current and ceramic matric composite then mainly contains mechanical mixture dispersion method, sol-gel process and microemulsion and reversed micelle method.The mechanical mixture dispersion method be nanometer powder is incorporated in the matrix powder mix, ball milling, shaping, sintering obtain nano heterogeneous ceramic.Preparation technology is simple for this method, and weak point is that ball milling itself can not destroy the reunion between nano particle fully, can not accomplish the even dispersion of two phase compositions.Sol-gel process be with the organic alkoxide of metal or inorganic salt solution through hydrolysis, make solute aggregate into colloidal sol gel solidification again, in low temperature drying, levigate after calcining obtains nano particle.This technology has unique advantage aspect the preparation of ceramic matric composite especially metal-ceramic: compare with the conventional powder mixing method, decentralization is higher between metal and the ceramic phase, more helps strengthening toughness and is ductile.Microemulsion and reversed micelle method are to utilize two kinds of mutual exclusive solvents (organic solvent and the aqueous solution), by option table surface-active agent and control relative amount, its water drop size can be controlled at nanoscale, different micro emulsion drops collide the generation mass exchange mutually, and chemical reaction takes place in water.Each water microcell is equivalent to the size that " microreactor " limited the product particle, obtains nano particle.Adopt suitable surfactant to can be adsorbed on nanoparticle surface, the particle that generates is played stable and protective effect, prevent the particle further growth, and can play the surface chemical modification effect particle.Can also control the shape of water microcell by the option table surface-active agent, thereby obtain difform nano particle.
Summary of the invention
