Effect of Heat Treatment on Mechanical Properties of Graphene Reinforced Copper Based Materials
Based on the synergistic effect of molecular-level mixing and homogenization by a ho-mogenizer,this study used a discharge plasma sintering process to prepare graphene-reinforced copper-based composites,and designed experiments to investigate the effect of different heat treatment meth-ods on the mechanical properties of the composite materials after heat treatment.The experimental re-sults show that heat treatment can significantly improve the impact resistance,tensile properties,and density of the graphene-reinforced new type of building magnesium-based composite material.A-mong them,water cooling treatment has the best effect,air cooling treatment has a slightly worse effect,and furnace cooling has the worst effect.After water cooling heat treatment,the material's ten-sile strength,yield strength,elongation at break,density,and impact performance increased by 31.4%,39.5%,127.7%,59.93%,and16.69%,respectively,indicating that water cooling is the pre-ferred heat treatment cooling method for graphene-reinforced new type of building magnesium-based composite materials.
