Background
The nanoparticle reinforced aluminum matrix composite material not only has excellent mechanical properties, but also has the advantages of high wear resistance, good thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, strong designability and the like, and has wide application prospect in the field of manufacturing of advanced equipment. The in situ synthesis method can directly react in the melt to produce the enhanced particles with thermodynamic stability. The reinforced particles are nucleated and grow up in the melt, and have natural wettability with the melt. The interface between the reinforced particles and the matrix is pure, and the bonding strength is high. Therefore, in-situ synthesis of particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites is considered to be the most promising composite preparation technique. The fluoride salt method has the advantages of simple process, low cost and the like, and is the most engineering potential method for synthesizing the nanoparticle reinforced aluminum matrix composite in situ.
However, the in-situ synthesis of the nanoparticle reinforced aluminum matrix composite material by the fluoride salt method still does not realize large-scale engineering application, and the main reason is that the bottleneck technical problem still exists but is not solved yet:
Firstly, the reinforced particles have wide size distribution range from hundreds of nanometers to microns, and the presence of large-size particles limits the reinforcing effect of the nanoparticles, secondly, the uniformity of the dispersion of the nanoparticles in a matrix is poor, the agglomerated nanoparticles reduce the mechanical properties of the matrix material instead, thirdly, the residual molten salt in the melt is difficult to completely discharge, the purity of the melt is poor, and the particle reinforcing effect is greatly reduced (Hu Dongfu. The preparation of the high-cleanness in-situ TiB2 reinforced aluminum-based composite material [ D ]. Dai.e. university of company, 2014.).
In order to obtain the reinforced particles with high size concentration and good dispersion, technicians at home and abroad generally choose lower reaction temperature and simultaneously implement strong stirring (including electromagnetic stirring and mechanical stirring).
Chinese patent 202011306962.1 discloses a method for preparing an in-situ nanoparticle reinforced aluminum matrix composite material at a low temperature, wherein the temperature of a melt is controlled to 660-670 ℃, high-speed mechanical stirring is applied to the upper surface of the melt to form a vortex, and mixed salt is added into the vortex on the surface of the melt to react for 15min. The reaction of the mixed salt with Al is exothermic, resulting in an increase in the melt temperature of about 90 ℃, and the technique does not take into account the effect of the increase in the melt temperature on the reaction process. In addition, the surface swirl rotating at high speed can cause mixed salt and air to be entrained into the melt, and a large amount of residual emulsified salt and a large amount of oxide are formed in the melt, so that the viscosity of the melt is increased, and difficulties are brought to the melt purification treatment. The method does not involve purification techniques of residual emulsifying salts and oxide inclusions. Liu Zhengcai et al (Liu Zhengcai, et al, mixed salt method TiB 2 particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites research status quo [ J ]. Thermal processing technique, 2021,12 (50) pp: 17-21) show that mechanical agitation can effectively promote melt flow and melt homogenization. However, the clusters cannot be effectively broken by low-speed stirring, and the absorption and oxidation of hydrogen are increased by high-speed stirring, and surface impurities are introduced, so that the mechanical properties of the composite material are reduced.
Team Wang Haowei presents a system and method for preparing in situ autogenous aluminum matrix composites using pulsed magnetic fields. Adding mixed salt at 700-760 ℃ while vacuumizing (a method for controlling an in-situ self-generated aluminum-based composite material by using a melt with electromagnetic stirring, china patent 202011571152.9, a system Chinese patent 202011571153.3 for controlling the in-situ self-generated aluminum-based composite material by using the melt with electromagnetic stirring, and a method for controlling the in-situ self-generated aluminum-based composite material by using a permanent magnet stirring, china patent 202011571141.0). The technology does not relate to the study of the influence of reaction exotherm and melt temperature rise on the reaction process, and does not relate to the study related to the residual molten salt purification technology.
In order to avoid the problem that residual molten salt in the aluminum melt is difficult to discharge due to the rising and stirring of the temperature of the melt in the fluorine method reaction process, china patent 202111585762.9 proposes a preparation method of an adjustable TiB 2 in-situ reinforced aluminum-based composite material. The method takes boron alloy and aluminum-titanium alloy or pure titanium as raw materials, reacts at 800-850 ℃, and adopts argon refining and degassing. The technology has higher reaction temperature, does not relate to mixed salt reaction, and does not relate to residual molten salt purification technology.
Chinese patent 200510029902.9 discloses a preparation method of an in-situ particle reinforced high-temperature resistant aluminum matrix composite. The reaction temperature range disclosed by the method is 680-800 ℃, and after the reaction is completed, alloy elements are added, and vacuumizing and standing are carried out. The method has higher reaction temperature, does not involve the influence of the rising reaction temperature on the reaction process, and does not treat the residual salt in the melt in time after the reaction is finished, and the addition of alloy elements can cause the further increase of the viscosity of the melt, so that the purification treatment of the melt is more difficult.
Wang et Al adopts a mechanical stirring mode in the reaction process, and reacts at 850 ℃ to obtain the tensile strength 375.3MPa of the TiB 2 (2.2 vol%)/A356 composite material, the yield strength 304.7MPa, the elongation 4.88%(Wang,Mechanical properties of in-situ TiB2/A356 composites[J].Materials Science&Engineering A,590(2014)246–254). He Yongsheng et Al adopts C 2Cl6 for refining, then mixed salt is added at 720 ℃, the mixture is fully stirred, and sand casting is carried out to obtain the tensile strength 300MP of the 5wt%/ZL114A composite material, the elongation 2.5% (He Yongsheng and the like. The tissue and mechanical properties [ J ] casting, 2000 (07): 396-397.) of the endophytic TiB 2 particle reinforced TiB 2/Al-7%Si-05%Mg composite material. The reaction temperatures studied above are all relatively high and do not involve the exothermic reaction and the effect of the rise in melt temperature on the reaction process.
The inventor groups find through experimental research that the temperature of the melt rises by about 80-100 ℃ in the reaction process when the melting amount is hundreds of kilograms to up to ton. The great rise in melt temperature results in an increase in reaction rate, while the convection or diffusion rate (constant mechanical stirring or an equal power acousto-magnetic coupling field) remains unchanged, which tends to cause the growth or aggregation of the size of the reinforcing particles, ultimately resulting in a large span of the size range of the reinforcing particles and uneven dispersion.
The release of a large amount of gas (KBF 4=KF+BF3↑,K2TiF6=2KF+TiF4 ≡) during the reaction is one of the important reasons for the low yield of TiB 2 particles, and the higher the reaction temperature is, the more severe the reaction (KBF 4=KF+BF3↑,K2TiF6=2KF+TiF4 ≡), resulting in the lower the yield of TiB 2.
In the reaction process, molten salt inevitably enters the interior of the melt to increase the viscosity of the melt, and the disclosed technical scheme generally adopts a traditional mode to carry out melt purification treatment before casting. In practice, alloying causes a further increase in melt viscosity, which results in increased difficulties in melt purging.
Further improving the controllable degree of the reaction process, obtaining nano reinforced particles with consistent size and morphology, uniform dispersion and pure melt is a problem which is solved by scientific research technicians in the field.
