Problems solved by technology

In this paper, no effective pretreatment process is carried out on the SiC powder for the poor wettability of SiC and Al liquid, which enhances the insufficient bonding force between the particles and the matrix.
During the preparation process, the powder is put into the powder at one time through the observation port on the device, so that a large amount of powder is accumulated on the alloy melt, and more air is entrained in the gap between the powders, and the SiC fine powder is easy to agglomerate and gas-wrap on the high-temperature aluminum liquid During the stirring process, these air and SiC agglomerates are involved in the melt. In the article, the negative pressure degassing method of internal and external double stirring effectively removes the air bubbles in the alloy melt, but it is difficult to remove the air on the surface of the SiC particles. Thin films (ultimately exist in the microscopic gap between the particles and the matrix), and a large number of SiC aggregates need to be broken and dispersed uniformly at a speed of up to 1000-1200 rpm, which requires high equipment under vacuum conditions and is not suitable for large mass production

Embodiment 1

[0055] 1. Preparation process of SiC particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites

[0056] 1.1 Principle of vacuum stirring casting

[0057] Vacuum stirring casting to prepare SiC particle-reinforced composite materials is to use the rotating motion of the stirring paddle under vacuum conditions to make the aluminum alloy liquid surface rotate and generate a vortex, so that SiC particles enter the aluminum alloy matrix. Due to the vacuum and high temperature environment in the feeding bin, the surface layer of SiC particles no longer absorbs the air film, and at the same time, it does not wrap air into the aluminum alloy melt. During the feeding process, according to the Bernoulli principle of the fluid, there will be a pressure difference between the fluids with different moving speeds. During the stirring process of the stirring paddle, due to the influence of the paddle member, the viscosity of the aluminum alloy liquid and the friction of the crucible wall, Different po...
