Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. The examples, in which specific conditions are not specified, were conducted under conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. The reagents or instruments used are not indicated by the manufacturer, and are all conventional products available commercially.
The titanium-based composite material has higher specific strength, specific stiffness, wear resistance and high temperature resistance than the traditional titanium alloy by introducing the second-phase reinforcement into the titanium alloy matrix, and has great application prospect in various fields such as aerospace, marine ships, automobile manufacturing, energy chemical industry, biomedical treatment and the like. From the view of the preparation method of the titanium-based composite material, at present, a fusion casting method, a mechanical alloying method, a self-propagating high-temperature synthesis method, a powder metallurgy method and the like are mainly adopted.
The powder metallurgy method for preparing the titanium-based composite material in the temperature range lower than the melting point of the titanium alloy can not only avoid the problem of high reaction of liquid titanium in the casting method, but also effectively improve the defects of material organization, component segregation, large crystal grains and the like caused by the casting method, can realize the adjustment of the particle size and the volume fraction of the particle reinforced phase in a larger range, and is a preparation method of the titanium-based composite material with great development prospect.
From the aspect of the enhanced phase adding mode, the external addition method and the in-situ self-generation method are mainly used. The particles of the external addition method are relatively coarse, and the pollution problem exists between the particles and the interface of the matrix. The in-situ self-generated particle reinforced phase avoids the chemical problem between reinforced particles and an interface, has no pollution with the surface of a matrix and high bonding strength, and is one of the important directions of the research of the titanium-based composite material at present.

The addition of the iron powder improves the strength and hardness of the composite material. However, when the content of the iron powder is too high, a liquid phase is generated in the sintering process, and the sintering quality is affected. When the content of the iron powder is 1-15%, no liquid phase occurs, and the obtained composite material has good strength and hardness. Alternatively, the iron powder content may be 2%, 3%, 4%, 11%, 13%. Further, the content of the iron powder may be 5 to 10%, wherein the content of the iron powder may be 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%.

Further, the content of the iron powder may be 0.5 to 1.0%. Wherein the content can be 0.6%, 0.8%, 0.9%. Within this content range, B4The addition of the powder C can not cause the composite material to become brittle, and the mechanical property of the composite material is enhanced.

The Ti powder and the Fe powder in the particle size range can be fully mixed, the problem of poor density caused by high sintering activity is avoided, the requirement on sintering temperature is high if the particle size is large, and the cost and the sintering condition are improved. In order to ensure the quality of the composite material, Ti powder, Fe powder and B4The purity of the C powder is more than 99 percent.
Specifically, Ti powder, Fe powder and B powder are weighed according to the proportion4And C, putting the powder C into a three-dimensional mixer, and mixing for 3-5 hours to obtain mixed powder.

It should be noted that the heating rate is not higher than 10 ℃/min, so as to ensure the sufficient reaction of the mixed powder, and to make the reinforcing phase distributed uniformly, the density high, and the mechanical property good. Optionally, the sintering temperature is 970 ℃, 980 ℃, 990 ℃ and 1000 ℃. The sintering pressure is 130-140 MPa.
And removing the stainless steel sheath on the surface by machining to obtain the Ti-Fe alloy based composite material.
