Background technology
Aluminum matrix composite has the over-all properties advantages such as specific tenacity is high, specific rigidity is high, thermal conductivity is high, thermal expansivity is adjustable, thus obtains important application at aerospace, microelectronics and field of traffic.Aluminum matrix composite adopts particle or the whiskers such as silicon carbide, aluminum oxide, silicon, aluminium nitride, norbide mostly, and fiber etc. is as strongthener.Wherein, silicon is the desirable strongthener of a kind of lightweight, low-thermal-expansion, high strength; Density (the 2.33g/cm of silicon
3) lower than aluminium alloy by 14%, it has the extremely low coefficient of expansion (2.6 × 10
-6k
-1), higher thermal conductivity and Young's modulus, silicon has good process for machining and manufacturing performance compared with other several ceramic reinforcing materials, therefore aluminium silicon composite material (Si/Al) obtains great attention in the nearest more than ten years, most is representational is take microelectronics Packaging as the low-gravity of application background, low bulk, high heat conduction, high silicon content Si/Al matrix material (volumn concentration of silicon is 40wt.% ~ 75wt.%), its processing and preparation technology's window relatively wide, abroad part realize through engineering approaches apply.But over-all properties and the manufacturing property of Si/Al matrix material prepared at present are still difficult to meet application demand.Thermal expansivity is that Si/Al encapsulates one of performance index of matrix material most critical, and for 60vol% ~ 70vol%Si/Al, its thermal expansivity is 7.5 ~ 10.5 × 10
-6ppm/K, but due to material main component be hard fragility silicon, and material internal unavoidably causes the process for machining poor-performing of material containing the factor such as defectiveness, be difficult to the precision manufactureing requirement meeting small size, thin-wall construction electronic encapsulation shell part; Reduce the obdurability that silicone content can promote matrix material, improve machining characteristics, but the thermal expansivity of matrix material increases, the index request of packaged piece cannot be met.
Aluminium nitride (AlN) is also one of conventional ceramic reinforcing material, and AlN has the advantages such as high heat conduction, high-modulus, low bulk.AlN is as strongthener, and the effect of its activeness and quietness and the thermal expansion of reduction alumina-base material is all good than Si, but AlN belongs to covalent linkage compound, powder sintered poor performance, and nonwetting with metallic aluminium, the difficulty preparing the AlN/Al matrix material of high AlN content is larger.Adopt the Al based composites that the thermal expansivity of the Al based composites of AlN and Si hybrid buildup should strengthen lower than the single Si of employing, and the density of AlN-Si-Al is only 2.55 ~ 2.7g/cm

A preparation method for the AlN-Si-Al hybrid composite of low-thermal-expansion and high strength, adopts powder metallurgy preparation technique, comprises the steps:
(1) Al powder, AlN powder and Si powder are respectively AlN:10wt.% ~ 25wt.% according to the massfraction accounting for above-mentioned three kinds of total mixed powders, Si:40wt.% ~ 45wt.%, Al:30wt.% ~ 50wt.%, batching also Homogeneous phase mixing makes AlN-Si-Al mixed powder;
