Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of composite materials, in particular to a SiCp-Al composite material with stable constant temperature aging dimensional change and a preparation method thereof.

Dimensional stability refers to the ability of a material or part to maintain its original size and shape under conditions of constant temperature, temperature cycling, vibration, shock, irradiation, etc. in service for a long period of time, such as several years or more than ten years, and is a basic attribute of a material, and is gradually known and emphasized with the development of "precision" of mechanical instrument equipment;
through long-term exploration and experiment of researchers, an Al-Cu-Mg-Si alloy with high dimensional stability has been prepared. However, according to different requirements of application environment on mechanical properties of materials and excellent isotropic mechanical properties, high strength, high specific stiffness and high thermal conductivity of the SiCp/Al composite material, the requirements of the aerospace field on the aluminum-based composite material are rapidly increased, and the dimensional stability problem of the SiCp/Al composite material also needs to be solved;
the addition of the reinforced particles SiCp can bring great influence to the constant temperature aging dimensional stability of the material;
in the SiCp/Al composite material, a large number of interfaces exist between the reinforcement and the matrix due to the large specific surface area of the particles; when the aluminum alloy is used as a matrix, the phenomena of oxide, element enrichment and the like can occur on the interface; researches show that the SiCp reinforced aluminum-based (2-system, 6-system and 7-system) composite material has the enrichment phenomenon of alloy elements on interfaces, wherein the most serious segregation is Mg element and is combined with oxide SiO on the surface of SiCp 2 Acting to form MgAl 2 O 4 The solute elements are caused to be biased on the particle surfaces, so that the solute elements in the matrix are reduced, the types and the contents of precipitated phases in the matrix are further influenced, and the constant-temperature aging dimensional stability of the SiCp/Al composite material is further influenced; at the same time, different SiCp grain sizesThe size and the volume fraction can bring different influences on the constant-temperature aging size of the SiCp/Al composite material;
when the matrix alloy element of the aluminum matrix composite material is mainly Cu and Mg elements, the precipitated phase in the matrix is mainly S' phase (Al 2 CuMg) and theta' phases (Al 2 Cu), both precipitated phases have a higher density than the matrix alloy, and both cause a reduction in the volume of the composite.
For example, patent CN202010397816.8 mentions an Al-Cu-Mg-Si alloy with high dimensional stability, whereas when SiCp is added, the dimensional change rate during aging as SiCp/2024Al is 3.5X10 -4 The size of the cylindrical material corresponding to a length of 10mm increases by 3.5 μm. In order to obtain high dimensional stability of the composite material with the Al-Cu-Mg alloy matrix in constant temperature aging, the constant temperature aging dimensional change of SiCp/Al is regulated and controlled by increasing the S 'and theta' phase content which can reduce the size of the material. The change of the matrix alloy composition caused by the element segregation at the interface can be regulated and controlled by increasing the mass fraction of solute elements.
Therefore, the novel SiCp/Al (SiCp particles are 5 mu m, the volume fraction is less than 55%) composite material is researched, the problems of volume fraction of the reinforcement, segregation of solute elements on the interface of the reinforcement and a matrix and types and contents of precipitated phases in the matrix are considered, the components are precisely regulated and controlled, the types and the amounts of the alloy precipitated phases are finely designed, the SiCp/Al (SiCp particles are 5 mu m, the volume fraction is less than 55%) composite material with high dimensional stability in the constant temperature aging process is obtained, the problem of dimensional change of the material under long-term constant temperature storage and application is solved, and the novel aluminum-based composite material has important engineering application value on precision devices such as inertial instruments.
