Iron-aluminum intermetallic compound-aluminum oxide ceramic matrix material and preparation technology thereof
The invention belongs to material science, particularly a kind of intermetallic compound and the ceramic matrix material and the preparation technology thereof of matrix each other.
Intermetallic compound has light specific gravity, outstanding advantage such as anti-oxidant, high temperature resistant, becomes the high-temperature structural material that a class has potentiality.Wherein, the Fe/Al base intermetallic compound is except that having between common metal the multiple outstanding performance of compound, anti-oxidant, erosion resistance that it has can match in excellence or beauty with stainless steel, its specific tenacity height, do not contain strategic element again, cost low (having only stainless 1/3rd), thereby and Ti-Al, the Ni-Al series intermetallic compound is compared, and has bigger application prospect.
But, have DO

3Al and B
2The FeAl intermetallic compound of structure, at high temperature over-all properties (intensity, oxidation-resistance, erosion resistance etc.) reduces, and becomes the major obstacle that its engineering is used.The effective way that addresses this problem is exactly to strengthen the Fe/Al intermetallic compound with aluminum oxide, forms the Fe/Al based composite ceramic material.
Alumina-ceramic is a kind of high-temperature structural material of excellence, its intensity height, high temperature resistant, fine corrosion resistance, and cheap and be widely used.But the fragility of alumina-ceramic is its weakness as the structured material maximum.
Intermetallic compound has the characteristic of metallic bond and covalent linkage coexistence, and its use temperature can be between metal superhard alloy and pottery, and its fragility is than metallic substance height, but lower than stupalith.Utilize intermetallic compound toughness to be higher than the characteristic of stupalith, reinforced alumina ceramic forms alumina base Fe/Al intermetallic compound composite material.On the other hand, strengthen intermetallic compound, can obviously improve the mechanical behavior under high temperature of intermetallic compound with high temperature ceramic material.Intermetallic compound and pottery form matrix material remedies the other side with self premium properties defective.
German Patent (German Pat.Application DE4447130.0, filing date December29,1994) has been introduced the Al that contains Fe and FeAl

3The matrix material of phase.This material is actually a kind of ceramic-metal composite.There are two aspect problems in its technological process: one, because the fusing point of metal is low, poor with the wettability of pottery, the amount of the metal that can comprise in the ceramic matrix can be restricted; Two, the formation amount of FeAl phase is difficult to control in the matrix material.Because the FeAl in this material is that reaction forms in the sintering process mutually, phase content is the influence of heat-treated process very easily, shows on the macroscopic view it is the unstable properties of material.
The objective of the invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, a kind of Fe/Al intermetallic compound-Al of high temperature resistant, anti-oxidant, stable performance is provided

Surplus Ni W TiC WC0~1.5 0~1.5 0~2.0 0~2.0 is Fe.
The processing step for preparing above-mentioned matrix material is:
1) metal Fe powder and Al powder and additive (for example, Ce, V, Cr, Ni etc.) are pressed the accurate weighing of aforementioned weight percent, dry ball milling machinery alloying, and the formation principal crystalline phase is Fe
3The mixture of Al and FeAl;
2) Fe/Al intermetallic compound powder body and Al

Because the present invention directly adopts synthetic Fe/Al intermetallic compound and Al in advance
2O
3Ceramic Composite, thus two big serial matrix material, that is: Al can be formed
