As known from Hall-Patch relation, the mechanical property of metal is inversely proportional to the grain size of the material, and ultra-fine grain strengthening is one of effective methods for improving the mechanical property of the metal material; meanwhile, after grain refinement, the composition uniformity, corrosion resistance and even 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 has been made.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provides a novel method for preparing an ultrafine grain material, which is characterized in that the semisolid metal material is subjected to high-frequency vibration so as to obtain super-strong movement acceleration, the high-intensity sound wave generated by the super-strong movement acceleration can realize repeated breaking of crystal nucleus in the melt nucleation process, the newly formed crystal nucleus is broken to be less than 10 mu m, even to reach nanoscale level, and finally the solidified ultrafine grain is realized, so that the ultrafine grain material is obtained. The high-frequency vibration can be utilized to realize the efficient 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 of preparing an ultra-fine grain material comprising the steps of:
the semi-solid metal material is vibrated at the motion acceleration of 20-150G, and is solidified after vibration is stopped, so that the ultra-fine grain material is obtained.
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 movement acceleration is 105-150G, preferably 120-150G. In the present invention, "G" is a gravitational acceleration. The grain size of the ultra-fine grain material is required to be smaller, and the energy input in the solidification process needs to be ensured to be large enough, so that the grain boundary is crushed to a smaller scale in the nucleation process, the larger the movement acceleration is in a certain range, the larger the sound wave energy input is easy to realize, and the crystal nucleus structure with smaller grain size is realized.
Preferably, the frequency F of the vibration is 20-500Hz, preferably 100-500Hz; amplitude A is 1-20mm, preferably 1-15mm; the vibration time is 1-60min, preferably 5-20min.
Preferably, the method of the invention is carried out in a high-frequency vibration device comprising a spring array combined in multiple stages, the effect of resonance of the vibration table and the melt being achieved by means of a multiple-stage vibration system. By adjusting the vibration frequency F and the vibration amplitude A of the high-frequency vibration device, the semisolid metal material is ensured to obtain enough movement acceleration. The high-intensity sound wave energy generated by the ultra-strong motion acceleration is utilized to realize repeated breaking of crystal nucleus, and finally, the solidified superfine crystal grains are realized, and the grain size distribution is concentrated, 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. By means of the method that the material is completely melted and then cooled to form the semi-solid material, uniformity of the material after the metal material is completely melted can be guaranteed, and therefore tissue guarantee is provided for forming non-segregation semi-solid after subsequent solidification.
Preferably, the metal material is copper, copper alloy, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, tin alloy, iron, alloy steel, superalloy, specialty metal or alloy of specialty metal. The superalloy refers to a metallic material capable of operating at high temperatures above 600 ℃. The special metal is a metal with a melting point of more than 2000 ℃.
Preferably, the metal material is heated in a protective atmosphere, melted and stirred. The protective atmosphere may be nitrogen or argon. Heating under a protective atmosphere can prevent the metal material from being oxidized during the heating process.

Preferably, the metal material melt is cooled to a temperature 20-60 ℃, preferably 30-50 ℃, above the solidus temperature of the metal material. When the cooling temperature is lower than 20 ℃ below solidus, the metal melt can be quickly solidified, and the process window time of the follow-up vibration breaking crystal nucleus cannot be ensured; when the cooling temperature is higher than the solidus 60 ℃, the superheat degree of the metal melt is larger, the phenomenon that the ultra-fine crystal nucleus structure obtained through vibration is easy to continue growing is easy to occur, 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 heat-retaining state during the vibration. The temperature of the semi-solid metal material is 20-60 c, preferably 30-50 c, higher than the solidus temperature of the metal material.
Preferably, after stopping the vibration, the semi-solid metal material is allowed to cool (e.g., naturally cool) and solidify.
