Based composites are using metal and alloy as matrix, made of being combined with each other with one or more of metals, nonmetallic reinforced phase again
Condensation material.By the difference of its reinforced phase, it is broadly divided into fiber reinforcement, whisker reinforcement and particles reiforced metal-base composition three
Kind.Wherein, particles reiforced metal-base composition due to its compositing range is wide, at production. art is simple, cost is relatively low, is easy batch
The advantages such as production, compared to fiber reinforcement and whisker reinforced metal matrix composites, particles reiforced metal-base composition has
Broader market application prospect.
For particles reiforced metal-base composition, reinforced phase is generally TiB2、TiC、SiC、Si3N4、Al2O3、
B4The hard ceramic particles such as C are rarely reported for the metal-base composites preparation of flexible particle enhancing at present.Since hard is made pottery
Porcelain particle fusing point is higher, and there are larger differences for itself thermal expansion coefficient and metal material, this is resulted in using ceramic particle system
There are a series of problems for standby metal-base composites:
(1) interfacial reaction is insufficient between reinforced phase and basis material, make the interfacial effect of composite material, confounding effect and
Complex effect is unable to give full play.
(2) wetability of particle and matrix is poor, is easy to produce stomata, and the intensity of material and service life is caused to reduce.
