Technical field
The invention belongs to aluminum matrix composite field;Specifically related to a kind of vacuum pressure infiltration method prepares network structure aluminum
The method of based composites.
Background technology
Aluminum matrix composite has low-density, high specific strength, high specific stiffness, heat-resisting, wear-resisting, good stability of the dimension, heat swollen
The low plurality of advantages of swollen coefficient, has broad application prospects in Aeronautics and Astronautics, electronics and automotive field.
Generally, aluminum matrix composite is prepared using squeeze casting method and powder metallurgic method.
Squeeze casting method is commonly present because in prefabricated section, air discharge does not freely cause infiltration difficult, is infiltrated impermeable or is had folder aluminium strip
The problem of generation.
Composite consistency prepared by powder metallurgic method is not high, it usually needs through hot extrusion or the secondary change of hot rolling
Shape.
Traditional aluminum matrix composite is often referred to strengthen the composite being mutually uniformly distributed in matrix, this composite by
In the presence for strengthening phase, matrix is divided into into many zonules, limits the performance of base plastic, thus the usual table of composite
Reveal high specific stiffness, high specific strength, low plasticity and toughness.
The content of the invention
The infiltration that squeeze casting method is brought is difficult, infiltrate impermeable or have folder to solve for the method for adopting vacuum infiltration of the invention
The problem that aluminium strip is produced.Secondly the present invention solves the composite wood that powder metallurgic method is brought using the method that vacuum infiltration is pressurizeed simultaneously
The not high problem of material consistency.The present invention strengthens phase distribution mode in the base by change 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.
To solve above-mentioned technical problem, the use vacuum pressure infiltration method of the present invention prepares network structure aluminum matrix composite
Method is carried out in the steps below:
Step one, will be cleaned to neutrality with pure distilled water after whisker or fiber pickling, be subsequently adding silica gel solution;
Step 2, be then introduced into aluminum alloy mould in cold pressing and obtain prefabricated section;
Step 3, the prefabricated section for obtaining step 2 are sintered after spontaneously drying;
Step 4, graphite jig is then placed in, aluminium alloy block is being placed on prefabricated section, vacuum pressure infiltration;I.e.
Obtain aluminum matrix composite.

ML silica gel solutions.
Step one mass percent is that 5%~20% HF carries out pickling.
In step 2, cold pressing pressure is (5~30) MPa, and the dwell time is (0.5~3) h, 0.5~3h of press time.Cold pressing
Purpose be to flow out unnecessary moisture and silicone fluid.
The time is spontaneously dried in step 3 for (24~72) hour,
In step 3, sintering process is as follows:(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.
In step 4, the process of vacuum pressure infiltration is as follows:It is put in vacuum hotpressing stove, first evacuation is heated to aluminium alloy
800 DEG C~900 DEG C of fusion temperature, infiltrated, wherein infiltration pressure be 50MPa~100MPa, the infiltration time for 10min~
60min enables aluminum alloy to liquation and is fully infiltrated in prefabricated section, and infiltration after terminating is down to pressure after 20MPa~50MPa, and insulation is protected
Pressure 0.5h~2h.
Composite material strength prepared by of the invention and plasticity, toughness combination property are high, and process is simple, easily operate, system
Standby cycle is short, shortens half reaction time, and low cost is required to save 40% into instinct.
