Description

Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of processing and preparation of ultrafine grained materials, in particular to a method for preparing an ultrafine grained material by utilizing high-frequency vibration.
Background
The ultrafine crystal material (the grain size is 0.1-10 mu m) has excellent comprehensive mechanical property, good physical property and better corrosion resistance, and has important value and wide application prospect in the fields of industrial production and aerospace military industry. According to Hall-batch relation, the mechanical property of metal is in inverse proportion to the grain size of the material, and ultrafine grain strengthening is one of effective methods for improving the mechanical property of the metal material; meanwhile, after the crystal grains are refined, the composition uniformity, the corrosion resistance and even the physical properties of the metal material are obviously improved. However, in the actual production process, the preparation efficiency of the ultra-fine grain material is low, the production cost is high, and the process flow is complex.
Accordingly, the present invention is particularly set forth.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a novel method for preparing an ultra-fine grain material, which enables a semi-solid metal material to generate high-frequency vibration so as to obtain super-strong motion acceleration, and high-strength sound waves generated by the super-strong motion acceleration can repeatedly crush crystal nuclei in the melt nucleation process so as to crush the newly formed crystal nuclei to be less than 10 mu m and even to reach the nano-scale level, and finally realize solidified ultra-fine crystal grains so as to obtain the ultra-fine grain material. The high-frequency vibration is utilized to realize the high-efficiency preparation of the superfine crystal material, and the production cost is low and the process flow is simple.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions.
A method for preparing an ultra-fine grained material, comprising the steps of:
and vibrating the semi-solid metal material at the motion acceleration of 20-150G, and solidifying the semi-solid metal material after stopping vibration to obtain the ultrafine grained material.
Preferably, the motion acceleration may be, for example, 20G, 30G, 40G, 50G, 60G, 70G, 80G, 90G, 100G, 105G, 110G, 115G, 120G, 125G, 130G, 135G, 140G, 145G, or 150G. Preferably, the motion acceleration is 105-. In the present invention, "G" is gravitational acceleration. The grain size is smaller in the ultra-fine grain material, and the energy input in the solidification process needs to be ensured to be large enough, so that the grain boundary is broken to a smaller scale in the crystal nucleus forming process, and the larger the motion acceleration is, the larger the sound wave energy input is easily realized in a certain range, thereby realizing the crystal nucleus structure with smaller grain size.
Preferably, the frequency F of the vibration is 20-500Hz, preferably 100-500 Hz; the amplitude A is 1-20mm, preferably 1-15 mm; the vibration time is 1-60min, preferably 5-20 min.
Preferably, the method of the invention is carried out in a high frequency vibration device comprising a multi-stage combined spring array, the effect of vibration table and melt resonance being achieved by a multi-stage vibration system. By adjusting the vibration frequency F and the amplitude A of the high-frequency vibration device, the semi-solid metal material is ensured to obtain enough motion acceleration. The crystal nucleus can be repeatedly crushed by utilizing high-strength sound wave generated by the super-strong motion acceleration, and finally, the solidified superfine crystal grains with concentrated grain size distribution are realized, so that the superfine crystal material is formed.
Preferably, the forming of the semi-solid metal material includes: heating the metal material to melt the metal material, thereby obtaining a metal material melt; and cooling the metal material melt to obtain the semi-solid metal material. The mode of completely melting the material and then cooling the material to form the semi-solid material can ensure the uniformity of the material after the metal material is completely melted, thereby providing a tissue guarantee for forming the non-segregation semi-solid for subsequent solidification.
Preferably, the metal material is copper, copper alloy, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, tin alloy, iron, alloy steel, high temperature alloy, special metal or alloy of special metal. The high-temperature alloy refers to a metal material capable of working at a high temperature of more than 600 ℃. The special metal is metal with a melting point of more than 2000 ℃.
Preferably, the metal material is heated under a protective atmosphere to be melted and then stirred. The protective atmosphere may be nitrogen or argon. Heating under a protective atmosphere can prevent the metal material from being oxidized in the heating process.
Preferably, the metallic material is heated to a temperature of 60-100 ℃ above its liquidus temperature. This ensures a sufficient degree of superheat to completely melt the metal material.
Preferably, the melt of the metallic material is cooled to a temperature 20-60 ℃, preferably 30-50 ℃ higher than the solidus temperature of the metallic material. When the cooling temperature is lower than 20 ℃ of the solidus, the metal melt can be rapidly solidified, and the time of a process window for subsequently vibrating and crushing crystal nuclei cannot be ensured; when the cooling temperature is higher than 60 ℃ of the solidus, the superheat degree of the metal melt is large, the phenomenon that the ultra-fine crystal nucleus structure obtained by vibration is easy to grow continuously is caused, the ultra-fine crystal nucleus in the solidified material structure cannot be ensured, and effective grain refinement cannot be realized.
Preferably, the semi-solid metal material is in a state of being kept warm during the vibration. The temperature of the semi-solid metal material is 20-60 deg.C, preferably 30-50 deg.C, higher than the solidus temperature of the metal material.
Preferably, after stopping the vibration, the semi-solid metal material is cooled (e.g., naturally cooled) and solidified.
