Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The disclosure relates to a nano phase reinforced aluminum matrix composite, particularly to an aluminum matrix composite and a preparation method. 
     BACKGROUND 
     For the problems of West to East power transmission, long-distance transmission with north-south mutual supply, large line loss and the like, which are to be urgently solved, higher requirements are put forward for the performances of overhead transmission lines, including low loss, large capability and toughness. This requires that the conductor material of the transmission line simultaneously considers high strength, high conductivity and heat resistance. The transmission conductor material having high conductivity is used to reduce line loss and improve transmission efficiency, the transmission conductor material having high heat resistance can improve the allowable operation temperature of the transmission line and improve limit conveying capacity (allowable carrying capacity), thereby ensuring the large capacity and toughness of the transmission line. 
     In 2004, British scientists first prepared a new two-dimensional atom crystal-graphene composed of carbon atoms in a sp 2  hybrid connected single-atom layer, which only has a thickness of 0.3354 nm, and is the thinnest material found in the world currently. The graphene has a special single-atom layer structure and extremely excellent physical property: Yong modulus 1100 GPa and ultimate tensile strength 125 GPa, which are equivalent to those of the carbon nano tube, has a thermal conductivity of about 5000 J/(m·K−s), and has the characteristics of low thermal expansion coefficient, minimum quantum conductivity under the zero carrier concentration limit and the like. The graphene having low density and excellent mechanical and thermal physical properties can be added into aluminum alloy as a reinforced phase, so as to obtain a composite material which is light in weight, high in strength, high in conductivity, high in thermal conductivity and high in thermal stability. 
     At present, there are few of reports about graphene reinforced metal matrix composites, preparation of the materials is at the stage of preliminary exploration. For the graphene reinforced metal matrix composites, the existing patent 1 (publication number (CN105385871A) describes that nano carbon whose surface is coated with a metal ion precursor is dispersed into aluminum powder, thermal sintering is carried out to obtain mixed powder, and the heat-resistant aluminum matrix composite is produced by using a conventional powder metallurgy process. The existing patent 2 (publication number (CN110331316) discloses a high-strength heat-resistant aluminum matrix composite conductor material and a preparation method, the graphene and aluminum powder are milled and mixed, and amorphous alumina is obtained on the surface of graphene, and the composite material is prepared by using a powder metallurgy sinter molding method. The existing patent 3 (publication number CN108396168A) describes that graphene and aluminum powder are mixed, canned and semi-solid extruded to prepare a composite material having a density of 98.5%. At present, the preparation method of the graphene aluminum matrix composite focuses on powder metallurgy, also includes cladding extrusion and semi-solid extrusion methods. These methods are high in mould cost and low in production rate, and difficult to batch and continuous industrial production. The existing patent 4 (CN110295298A) describes that a hydrothermal method is used to synthesize alumina@graphene, which is complex in chemical reaction process and complicated in particle size and particle diameter control of alumina, and renders reduction in conductivity due to easy introduction of impurities into molten aluminum, so the method is not suitable for the preparation of series 1 conductor materials. In view of the problems existing in the material application process, the unique component system design and process design are performed in this patent.

The preparation method of the disclosure is simple in process, low in cost, strong in design, and suitable for continuous large-scale production of a water-cold semicontinuous casting or continuous casting and rolling process. 
     The disclosure is realized through the following technical solution: 
     Provided are a carbon nano reinforced aluminum matrix conductor material and a preparation method, wherein the carbon nano reinforced aluminum matrix conductor material consists of the following alloy components in percentage by mass: 0.01˜0.07% of graphene, 0.06˜0.5% of Zr, ≤0.08% of Fe, ≤0.04% of Si, ≤0.01% of each of rest elements and the balance of Al. 
     The preparation method of the above aluminum matrix composite comprises the following steps: 
     (1) putting an aluminum ingot into a resistance furnace when the temperature of the resistance furnace is raised to 400° C., wherein the purity of the aluminum ingot is greater than 99.7%;

More preferably, in the graphene@silicon dioxide composite powder, the mass of silicon dioxide is 0.5˜5%. 
     Preferably, in the step (6), the extrusion heating temperature is 400˜450° C., heat preservation time is 3˜5 h, an extrusion ratio is 20˜30:1, and an extrusion rate is 2.0˜5.0 mm/min.

     (2) the wetting angle of silicon dioxide/aluminum is smaller than that of graphene/aluminum, modification of silicon dioxide can increase the wetting angle between graphene and aluminum; and in the aluminum melt, silicon dioxide reacts with aluminum to generate alumina and silicon, and the reaction process further improves the wettability of graphene and aluminum melt and promotes the uniform dispersion of graphene in the aluminum melt. 
     (3) The strength of aluminum alloy is improved through an alloying pathway, which can lead to reduction in conductivity to different extents. Therefore, fine grain enhancement becomes an important means of series 1 alloy enhancement, the graphene@silicon dioxide having wettability with the matrix can serve as the particle of α-Al heterogeneous nucleation, and alloy is reinforced through fined grains. 
     (4) The graphene with a two-dimensional nanostructure has a super-large specific surface area, which can effectively prevent crack propagation and improve the strength and plasticity of aluminum alloy.

When a resistance furnace was heated to 400° C., the aluminum ingot was put in the resistance furnace by a crane; the aluminum melt was heated to 730° C. after the aluminum ingot was completely molten. The reduced graphene oxide@silicon dioxide powder was blown into the aluminum melt using argon, the melt was sufficiently stirred using a stirring tool until the reduced graphene oxide@silicon dioxide powder was completely blown. A 6AB refining agent from Pyrotek company was blown using argon, the mass of the added refining agent was 1.0% that of the aluminum melt; Al-5% Ti—B wires were added according to Ti content of 0.012% after standing and carrying out heat preservation for 5 min, slagging was carried out, discharging was carried out at 720° C. for casting, and water-cold semicontinuous casting was carried out to obtain a cast ingot; the finished cast ingot product was hoisted out of a crystallizer, the head and tail of the cast ingot were cut off, and the surface scales were turned and then extruded and deformed; extrusion heating temperature was 400° C., heat preservation time was 5 h, an extrusion ratio was 30:1, and an extrusion rate was 4.0 mm/min; after extrusion, the solution temperature of a sectional material was 600° C., and heat preservation time was 4 h; the aging temperature was 300° C., and heat preservation time was 48 h.
