A
metal surface modification method belongs to the technical field of
metal materials and is used for solving the problems of the high technical manufacturing cost, the complicated process and the difficult control of a composite carbon nano-tube with a
metal surface. The technical proposal of the invention is that the
raw material of the carbon
nano tube is selected and the
raw material is manufactured by the method of the deposition of catalyst chemical vapor containing
iron catalyst, and the composite layer of the directional carbon
nano tube with the thickness of 0.05 to 1.0mm is obtained on the metal surface by the processes of the
grinding of the
raw material, the preparation of the fused
mass of the composite layer of the carbon
nano tube, the magnetophoresis deposition of the superposed layer of the directional carbon nano tube, press-rolling cold-
insertion, etc. The modification method can lead the carbon nano tube with the composite metal surface to be in ordered direction and can adjust the thickness of the composite layer; and the method combines the advantages of the common metal surface for the carbon nano-tube, thus improving the technical data of the carbon nano tube greatly, such as anti-oxidation, wear-resisting property, self-
lubricity and strength, etc. Compared with the prior art, the modification method has low material cost and little investment in equipment, and the process of the modification method is easy to be controlled, so the modification method is suitable for continuous
mass production.
