Comparative example 1
A copper-based composite material differing from example 1 in that the ratio of copper alloy matrix to tungsten carbide was 92.
Compared with the composite material prepared in the embodiment 1, the composite material prepared in the method has the advantages that the hardness is improved, the abrasion loss is less, but after the mass fraction of WC in the copper-based composite material is 4%, the porosity of the composite material is correspondingly improved along with the increase of the content of tungsten carbide, and the quality of the composite material is reduced.
Comparative example 2

Compared with the example 1, the composite material has the advantages of complex material preparation process and longer preparation time in the test method of the prepared composite material in the same way as the example 1. The hardness of the composite material is not much different from that of the composite material in the embodiment 1, and the abrasion amount is slightly larger than that of the composite material in the embodiment 1, so that the composite material and the preparation method are better.
Test example 1
The structure observation, the hardness test and the wear resistance evaluation are carried out on the four composite materials in the examples 1 to 4, the method adopted for the evaluation is a normal-temperature sliding friction and wear experiment, and the strength of the friction and wear resistance of the four composite materials can be directly reflected.
The composite materials obtained by spark plasma sintering provided in examples 1-4 were precisely cut to obtain metallographic samples, and after coarse, fine and polishing, the metallographic samples were etched with a prepared etchant (FeCl) 3 :HCl:C 2 H 5 OH = 5g.
The hardness test adopts HB-3000 type Brinell hardness tester, selects test force scale (HBW 2.5/62.5), the load retention time is 30s, tests 7 points, and calculates the average value of 5 points after removing the maximum value and the minimum value.
And in the wear resistance test, a sample wafer with the size of phi 30mm multiplied by 3mm is selected, coarse grinding, fine grinding and polishing are carried out, and then a normal-temperature friction and wear test is carried out by using an HT-1000 type high-temperature friction and wear testing machine, wherein the test temperature is normal temperature, the load is 10N, the friction pair is silicon nitride ceramic balls with the size of phi 5mm, the friction radius is 5mm, the friction speed is 560r/min, and the friction time is 60min. After the test is finished, the mass loss is weighed, and the abrasion mechanism of the composite material is analyzed by observing the abrasion appearance of the composite material through a scanning electron microscope (Phenom G5 Pure, phenom Word, netherlands).
(1) Metallographic analysis of composite materials
FIG. 1 shows metallographic structures of tungsten carbide-reinforced copper-based composites of different compositions (composites of examples 1 to 4 in the order from left to right in the figure). It can be seen from the figure that the copper alloy with different components has different tissue forms, wherein the grey black phase is a copper matrix, and the grey white bright phase is tungsten carbide particles. In the copper alloy composite material prepared by the process, pulse current is introduced between pressurized powder particles according to the sintering principle, and plasma is generated on the surfaces of the powder particles to heat the particles, so that the surfaces of the particles are activated to generate heat to realize rapid densification sintering. Therefore, the metallographic structure diagram is observed to show that the bonding interface between the sintered particles and the grain boundary generated in the particles are finer and more regular than those in the cast structure, and the grain boundary is in a network shape. The copper-based composite material Cu-1Ni-5Mn-3Si presents more twin crystals and slip bands, and compared with the copper-based composite material Cu-10Ni-5Mn-3Si, the copper-based composite material Cu-5Ni-5Mn-3Si has the advantages that the more and more precipitated phase change is smaller and finer along with the increase of the nickel content by observing the metallographic structure, and the phase change is gray star-shaped in the crystal boundary and the crystal.
(2) Frictional wear test
Fig. 2 is a graph of mass loss of four composite materials after being abraded by friction at normal temperature for 60min, fig. 3 is a graph of Brinell hardness of the four composite materials, and comparison shows that the hardness has a certain relation with abrasion performance but does not show an absolute linear relation. The copper-based composite material Cu-5Ni-5Mn-3Si has smaller mass loss than the copper-based composite material Cu-10Ni-5Mn-3Si under the same abrasion condition, but the hardness of the copper-based composite material Cu-5Ni-5Mn-3Si is not higher than that of the copper-based composite material Cu-10Ni-5Mn-3 Si. In combination with fig. 4 (the composite materials of examples 1 to 4 are sequentially observed from left to right in the figure), it can be seen that the material is subjected to severe plastic deformation during the wear process, the wear surface is subjected to more furrows, which is a typical wear characteristic of the abrasive particles, and the wear surface is distributed with abrasive dust, abrasive particles and pits with different sizes, which are moved along the wear direction under the combined action of compressive stress and shear stress of the abrasive particles during the wear process, so that furrows and cutting action are generated on the prepared sample surface, and a part of the abrasive dust and the abrasive particles are not dropped off and are pressed onto the substrate again by the friction pair for friction, so that part of the adhesive wear is generated. The tungsten carbide is crushed to different degrees in the process of resisting abrasion, and becomes fine particles which are further embedded into the matrix along with the sliding of the friction pair to protect the material against abrasion. Because the wettability of the tungsten carbide and the copper alloy matrix is good, only the falling-off phenomenon of small-scale tungsten carbide particles is found when the abrasion surface of the tungsten carbide and the copper alloy matrix is observed, and the integral existence effect is good. The tungsten carbide protects the matrix from being worn, the matrix supports the tungsten carbide particles from falling off, and the wear resistance of the material is improved by the synergistic protection effect of the tungsten carbide and the tungsten carbide.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and not to limit the same; while the invention has been described in detail and with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some or all of the technical features may be equivalently replaced; and these modifications or substitutions do not depart from the spirit of the corresponding technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
