Description

A kind of silicon nitride and aluminium co-continuous phase composite materials and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of matrix material, be specifically related to a kind of silicon nitride and aluminium co-continuous phase composite materials and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
The fiber reinforcement aluminum matrix composite is with its high specific tenacity, specific rigidity, axial tensile strength and wear resistance; Outstanding high temperature resistance and low thermal expansivity; Good advantages such as dimensional stability under favorable conductive, thermal conductivity, fatigue resistence and humidity or the radiation environment; In fields such as space flight and aviation, automobile, mechano-electronics as the high-strength high temperature-resistant material, demonstrate huge application potential.The method of manufacture of fiber reinforcement aluminum matrix composite mainly contains infiltrated with molten metal method, pressure casting method, diffusion bonding method and powder metallurgic method etc.
(1) infiltrated with molten metal method
The infiltrated with molten metal method is to soak into fibrous bundle with liquid aluminium and duraluminum, or with fibrous bundle through liquid aluminium and duraluminum molten bath, every fiber is melted remove unnecessary metal covering behind the wetting metal to obtain composite filament, make matrix material through extruding again.Its shortcoming is when fiber is easy to soaked into, and molten aluminum and duraluminum may cause damage to fibre property.Referring to Tanaka Lang Ping, " fiber-reinforced metal matrix composite ", metallurgical industry press, 1986.
(2) diffusion bonding method
The diffusion bonding method mainly is meant aluminium foil and the fiber yarn that after surface treatment, soaks into aluminium liquid or composite filament or single plate by the order specified lamination, under vacuum or inert gas conditions through high-temperature pressurizing diffusion bonding moulding to obtain the method for manufacture of aluminum matrix composite.In addition, diffusion bonding method also comprises normal pressure-sintered method, pressure sintering, high temperature ironing.Being illustrated in is suitable, " metal-base composites and technology of preparing thereof ", Chemical Industry Press, ISBN number: 7502592571.
(3) powder metallurgic method
Powder metallurgic method is the traditional development of powder metallurgical technique in new engineering materials preparation.Perfect along with the development of flouring technology and dispersing technology method, people have utilized powder metallurgic method successfully to prepare the aluminum matrix composite of a large amount of excellent performances.They have not only that height ratio is strong, height ratio mould, low bulk, high wear-resistant characteristics, and random adjusting process route.Wild phase is evenly distributed in the aluminum matrix composite of this method preparation, and surface reaction is easy to control, on performance and stability, is superior to the material of other process method preparation greatly.Referring to Chinese patent CN1487109 " powder metallurgy self-generating ceramic particle reinforced aluminium base composite material and preparation method thereof ".
(4) pressure casting method
Pressure casting method is to make molten aluminum and duraluminum force to be pressed into the fixedly die cavity of built-in fabric prefab, and pressure is applied to always and solidifies end.Pressure casting method has improved the wellability of metal melt because of high pressure, and the reaction between the fortifying fibre of obtained matrix material and aluminium and duraluminum is minimum, and routine casting defectives such as hole and shrinkage cavity are less.Casting pressure and reinforced fiber content have considerable influence to the performance of aluminum matrix composite.Referring to Peng L M.Mechanical properties of ceramic-metal composites by pressure infiltration of metal into porous ceramics; Materials Science and Engineering A; 2004,374:1-9.
(5) pressure-free impregnation method
The pressure-free impregnation method is belong to liquid phase process a kind of, because the singularity of its technology is listed separately.The pressure-free impregnation method refers under vacuum or condition of normal pressure, precast body contacted with molten metal or macromolecular material, and be motivating force with the capillary force, make liquid metal or polymer spontaneous infiltration go into precast body, form the technology of densified composite.Propose by U.S. Rand Corporation at first, and be successfully applied to some ceramic/metal composite materials system.The system of existing report mainly is aluminum oxide/aluminium and silit/aluminum composite system at present.On a small quantity about the spherical α-Si of the pressure-free impregnation process using of silicon nitride/aluminum composite 3N 4Preparation ceramics preparative body, duraluminum adopt and contain higher ZL301 or the 6061Al of Mg amount.But because in the infiltration process, Mg and Si 3N 4Serious etc. surface reaction, be unfavorable for performance of composites.In addition, the precast body performance of spheroidal particle preparation is not high, and corresponding matrix material can not be extracted the mechanism of grade through fiber and matrix material strengthened toughness reinforcing when fracture, and its performance has bar-shaped β-Si not as utilization 3N 4Matrix material as the precast body preparation.Referring to [1] Akhtar Farid, Guo Shi ju.Development of Si 3N 4/ A1 composite by pressureless melt infiltration.Trans.Nonferrous Met.SOC.China16 (2006) 629-632. [2]. Wang Yangwei, Yu Xiaodong etc.Pressure-free impregnation prepares Si 3N 4The mechanical property of/AlN-Al matrix material.Special Processes of Metal Castings and non-ferrous alloy.2008 the 28th the 5th phases of volume.
At present aspect the preparation of fiber reinforcement aluminum matrix composite, also have some problems: fiber is discontinuous mutually in (1) most of matrix material.Current research shows, when the wild phase in the matrix material and matrix are the interpenetrating(polymer)networks distributed architecture, just can show excellent mechanical property.(2) fibre-reinforced Al alloy composite has very good mechanical property, but because costing an arm and a leg of fiber has toxicity again to human body, fails normally to use on component.(3) ceramics preparative body and molten metal bath wettability are poor.Do not have impressed pressure, molten metal bath is difficult to infiltrate in the ceramics preparative body.(4) adopt the pressure impregnation technology, need expensive molding apparatus and specific mould, increased preparation cost greatly, and the pressure infiltration process is introduced subsurface defect easily.(5) existing pressure-free impregnation technology only is applicable to the porous silicon nitride with the spheroidal particle preparation, rather than is fibrous β-Si 3N 4And Infiltration Technics requires high to al alloy component, the interface side reaction is serious.
