▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - Preparing titanium aluminum carbide/titanium aluminum (Ti2AlC/TiAl) composite material includes adding titanium-aluminum-chromium-niobium (Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb) pre-alloyed spherical powder and single-layer graphene nanosheets into a ball milling tank, adding absolute ethanol to perform low-energy ball milling under the protection of inert gas to obtain single-layer graphene nanosheet-coated titanium aluminum composite powder. The nominal composition of single-layer graphene nanosheet coated titanium aluminum composite powder is Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb-2.5C. The obtained single-layer graphene nanosheet-coated composite powder is placed in a graphite mold to obtain Ti2AlC/TiAl composite block in which the reinforcing phase is distributed in a network shape by spark plasma sintering. USE - Method for preparing titanium aluminum carbide/titanium aluminum (Ti2AlC/TiAl) composite material with network-layer structure used in aerospace light high temperature structure. ADVANTAGE - The composite material with net-layer structure can effectively improve the service temperature and high temperature strength of titanium aluminum alloy.

The obtained single-layer graphene nanosheet-coated composite powder is placed in a graphite mold to obtain Ti2AlC/TiAl composite block in which the reinforcing phase is distributed in a network shape by spark plasma sintering. The obtained Ti2AlC/TiAl composite block is placed in a vacuum heat treatment furnace for heat treatment, and cooled down to room temperature with the furnace to obtain the composite material with a network-sheet two-level structure.
