Exploring the application of composite materials in ceramic design based on fuzzy numerical analysis

Abstract

Compared with traditional monolithic carbide ceramics, Cu-based composite ceramics have the advantages of higher hardness, good wear resistance and oxidation resistance and are a new type of structural ceramics with wide application prospects. This paper first proposes a novel bi-directional freezing technique to construct a three-dimensional long-range ordered layer network hierarchical structure based on the pressure infiltration process. Secondly, a composite finite element model based on fuzzy numerical analysis is proposed for the vibroacoustic analysis of the periodic composite coupled system (PCSAS). Finally, thermal analysis experiments and mechanical property tests verify the effectiveness of Cu-based composites applied to ceramic matrices. The experimental results show that the toughness of Cu-based composite ceramics increases with the increase of TiC content, and the toughness increases from 2.15±0.27Mpa.m1/2 to 4.21±0.25Mpa.m1/2 compared with that of conventional monolithic carbide ceramics. The Cu-based composite ceramics designed in this paper give full play to the advantages of the high strength of ceramic particles and high toughness of metal matrix and develop an effective method to prepare structural metal-ceramic composites. This paper has developed an efficient route for preparing structural metal-ceramic composites, which can provide a reference for materials researchers to develop high-toughness composite ceramics.
