The invention belongs to the technical field of composites, and particularly relates to a preparing method of a high-
toughness carbon nanotube enhanced aluminum-based composite of a grading structure. Due to the fact that the small and fine
toughness area is introduced in the
carbon nanotube enhanced aluminum-based composite prepared through the method to form the grading structure, the more excellent
toughness is shown compared with that of a homogeneous composite. Through high-energy ball milling, uniformly-dispersed
carbon nanotube enhanced aluminum-based composite
powder is prepared, micron aluminum
powder is added in the composite
powder secondarily, through mixing, final carbon
nanotube enhanced aluminum-based composite powder is obtained, and through subsequent compactness and secondary
processing, the final composite is obtained. The method has the beneficial effects that the process is simple and efficient, and large-scale production capacity is achieved; the prepared composite of the grading structure has the small and fine toughness area, and therefore the excellent strong toughness is shown.
