Description

Nano TiC modified graphene reinforced titanium-based composite material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a nano TiC modified graphene reinforced titanium-based composite material and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of metal-based composite materials.
Background
The titanium and the titanium alloy have the characteristics of high specific strength and specific modulus and extreme condition environment resistance, and can be widely applied to the fields of aerospace, automobile industry and the like. The method has considerable application potential in reducing energy consumption and improving the thrust-weight ratio of the engine. Therefore, the development of titanium-based composite materials (TiMCs) has important significance for further improving the performance of the titanium alloy and expanding the application prospect of the titanium alloy. The best reinforcing phase of the (DRTMCs) of the non-continuous titanium-based composite material prepared by the powder metallurgy technology at present is ceramic material TiC particles or TiB whiskers. But the modulus of elasticity and breaking strength of the ceramic material reinforcing phase are far inferior to nanocarbon reinforcements such as carbon nanotubes, nanodiamonds or graphene. This means that the mechanical properties of the titanium-based composite material can be further improved by the nanocarbon reinforcement.
Graphene is a new nano-material with great development potential following carbon nanotubes, and atoms of graphene pass through sp2Hybridization forms a two-dimensional hexagonal honeycomb structure, which makes it easier to disperse than carbon nanotubes. The graphene has excellent electrical, thermal and mechanical properties, so that the graphene has an important application prospect in the aspects of materials, energy, biology and the like, and is a revolutionary material in the future. At present, only a few researchers in reports of graphene reinforced titanium-based composite materials exist on the surface of grapheneModification of Nickel Metal particles (Carbon 137(2018)146-&Engineering A687 (2017) 164-; composites Part A123 (2019) 86-96; journal of Alloys and Compounds 765(2018)1111-1118, and patent CN201810801698.5 of the inventor of the present application in the past. The graphene directly reinforced titanium-based composite material faces two major problems, namely, the wettability of the graphene and a titanium matrix is poor, and the controllable distribution of the graphene in the titanium matrix is difficult to realize; secondly, in the preparation process, the graphene is easy to react with the titanium matrix to generate TiC. The graphene reinforced titanium-based composite material reported in the paper is mostly prepared by adopting an ultrasonic oscillation-wet ball milling mode. For example, in the patent of Zhanghongmei et al, "a titanium-based composite material enhanced by low-content few-layer graphene and preparation method" (CN201610228318.4), graphene powder and absolute ethyl alcohol are mixed and stirred, then titanium powder is added to form mixed slurry, and then the mixed slurry is ball-milled and dried. However, the graphene with a high specific surface area cannot be effectively and uniformly dispersed on the surface of the titanium substrate by wet ball milling, mainly because the graphene and the titanium substrate are not tightly combined and have a low density, and the graphene is easy to fall off from the titanium substrate and suspend on the surface of slurry after ball milling and standing.
Graphene is easy to generate an interfacial reaction with a titanium substrate to generate TiC in a sintering process, and most of current research reports adopt a spark plasma sintering system (SPS) to retain a graphene part under the conditions of low temperature and high pressure (Materials Science)&Engineering a 725(2018) 541-548). However, the composite material sintered at low temperature and high pressure by SPS is often not compact enough, the mechanical property can not meet the requirement, and the high-pressure SPS sintering can only sinter small-sized samples, and can not meet the industrial production. The most ideal measure for reducing the reaction of graphene with the titanium matrix should be to perform surface modification on graphene. Dengchun et al' a polydopamine modified graphene and Ti fixed on the surface4+The synthesis method and the application of the nano material (CN201310077269.5) modify the surface of graphene with polydopamine, so that the material has good biocompatibility and environmental stability. Zhang Chunhua et al patent' method for modifying graphene by nano silver"(CN 201410360213.5) modifies nano silver on the surface of graphene through silver ammonia solution. Therefore, at present, the graphene is modified and mostly applied to the fields of biomedicine and electrochemistry, and the titanium-based composite material in the fields of aerospace and the like is rarely applied.

Fig. 5 is a metallographic microscope and a scanning electron microscope photograph of the nano TiC modified titanium-based composite material added with 0.4 wt.% of graphene, it can be observed that the reinforcement is uniformly distributed around the matrix particles to form a discontinuous network structure, and the titanium carbide particles in a dispersed distribution can be found under the scanning electron microscope.
Fig. 6 is a microscopic morphology of a scanning electron microscope of a compression fracture of the nano TiC modified titanium-based composite material with 0.4 wt.% graphene added, and it can be seen that the fracture form is a combination of cleavage fracture and micropore polymerization fracture, and a matrix around titanium carbide particles is torn to generate a dimple, so that the material shows better plasticity while strength is improved. From the high magnification, it can be found that a little graphene exists in the crack gap of the composite material.
