▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - Graphene titanium matrix composite material strengthened by microalloying comprises titanium or titanium alloy as the matrix, and the microalloying metal is uniformly coated on the surface of the titanium or titanium alloy matrix in a quasi-continuous manner through physical bonding. The graphene is dispersed on the outer surface of the micro-alloyed titanium or titanium alloy substrate coated with metal, and forms a quasi-continuous network structure with in-situ titanium carbide (TiC) nanoparticles and intermetallic compound particles. The hardness of the metal for microalloying is less than the hardness of the titanium or titanium alloy matrix, and the ductility is greater than the ductility of the titanium or titanium alloy matrix. The yield strength and tensile strength of the graphene titanium matrix composite material strengthened by micro-alloying are higher than that of titanium matrix composite material prepared by corresponding titanium alloy powder of the same composition. USE - Graphene titanium matrix composite material. ADVANTAGE - The graphene titanium matrix composite material avoids the direct contact of graphene with the substrate, improves the distribution uniformity and structural integrity of graphene, and plays a synergistic strengthening role with TiC nanoparticles and intermetallic compound particles, and has strong maneuverability and is suitable for industrial production.
