Technical field
The invention belongs to aluminum matrix composite field;More particularly to one kind net structure aluminium is prepared with vacuum pressure infiltration method
The method of based composites.
Background technology
Aluminum matrix composite is swollen with low-density, high specific strength, high specific stiffness, heat-resisting, wear-resisting, good stability of the dimension, heat
The plurality of advantages such as swollen coefficient is low, have broad application prospects in Aeronautics and Astronautics, electronics and automotive field.
In general, aluminum matrix composite is prepared using squeeze casting method and powder metallurgic method.
Squeeze casting method is commonly present because air discharge does not cause freely infiltration difficult in prefabricated section, and infiltration is impermeable or has folder aluminium strip
The problem of generation.
Composite material consistency prepared by powder metallurgic method is not high, it usually needs by hot extrusion or the secondary change of hot rolling
Shape.
Traditional aluminum matrix composite is often referred to enhancing and is mutually uniformly distributed in composite material in matrix, this composite material by
In the presence of enhancing phase, matrix is divided into many zonules, limits the performance of base plastic, thus the usual table of composite material
Reveal high specific stiffness, high specific strength, low plasticity and toughness.
The content of the invention
The present invention use the method for vacuum infiltration, and to solve, the infiltration that squeeze casting method is brought is difficult, it is impermeable to infiltrate or has folder
The problem of aluminium strip produces.Secondly the method that the present invention is pressurizeed at the same time using vacuum infiltration solves the composite wood that powder metallurgic method is brought
Expect the problem of consistency is not high.Distribution mode of the present invention by varying enhancing mutually in the base again, i.e., by net distribution generation
For being uniformly distributed, solve the problems, such as that traditional aluminum matrix composite plasticity is low, poor toughness.
In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention's prepares net structure aluminum matrix composite with vacuum pressure infiltration method
Method carries out in the steps below:
Step 1: will be cleaned after whisker or fiber pickling with pure distilled water to neutrality, silica gel solution is then added;

Purpose be to flow out unnecessary moisture and silicone fluid.
It is (24~72) hour that the time is spontaneously dried in step 3,
Sintering process is as follows in step 3:(100~200) DEG C sintering (5~24) is warming up to (1~5) DEG C/min speed
Hour, then (350~450) DEG C sintering (5~24) hour is warming up to (6~10) DEG C/min speed, then with (11~20) DEG C/
Min speed is warming up to (800~850) DEG C sintering (5~24) hour.
The process of vacuum pressure infiltration is as follows in step 4:It is put into vacuum hotpressing stove, first vacuumizes, is heated to aluminium alloy
800 DEG C~900 DEG C of fusion temperature, infiltrated, wherein infiltration pressure be 50MPa~100MPa, the infiltration time be 10min~
60min enables aluminum alloy to liquation and is fully infiltrated into prefabricated section, and after pressure is down to 20MPa~50MPa after infiltration, insulation is protected
Press 0.5h~2h.
Composite material strength prepared by the present invention and plasticity, toughness comprehensive performance are high, and technique is simple, easy to operate, system
The standby cycle is short, and reaction time shortens half, and cost is low, required to save 40% into instinct.
