Abstract

Graphene has a significant reinforcing effect. Titanium and titanium alloys have excellent properties such as high specific strength and good corrosion resistance compared to steel, and have broad application prospects in fields such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, chemical engineering, and biomedical equipment. Graphene, as a new member of the carbon family, not only has excellent physical and mechanical properties, but also has a unique two-dimensional structure. This 2D structure has a higher specific surface area than CNT or graphite. Thus providing more contact area and interaction with the matrix material, these characteristics are very attractive for the research of composite materials. MLG/Flake Ti hybrid powder was prepared using high-energy ball milling, and then MLG/Flake Ti composite material was prepared through low-temperature high-pressure SPS preforming and high-temperature heat treatment (950°C). Perform high-temperature heat treatment at 950°C and set the insulation time to 10 minutes and 60 minutes respectively. After heat treatment, the hardness and yield strength of the material were significantly improved. After 10 minutes of heat treatment, the sample with 0.2wt% MLG added showed a yield strength of 2225MPa and an elongation of 30%, demonstrating a good match between strength and plasticity. Compared with the sample with only 0.1wt% MLG added, the strength improvement is nearly 60%. This indicates that the increase in MLG content has a significant strengthening effect.
