The invention discloses an Al-Co-W
alloy with alternating lamellar
microstructure characteristics and a preparation method thereof, relates to preparation of novel materials and in particular relates to an
alloy with alternating lamellar
microstructure characteristics and a preparation method thereof. The structure of the
alloy comprises an alternating
lamellar structure, and the lamellar pairs occur periodically. In the Al-Co-W alloy
system, Al component can diffuse quickly, Co component can diffuse slowly and W component is immovable basically. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing a CoxWy type
intermetallic compound or a (Co-W)
solid solution by using components Co and W of which the
diffusion rates are different, and
grinding the
intermetallic compound or
solid solution into
small particles; controlling the
heating temperature and reaction mode in a protective
atmosphere so that the component Al in
solid state,
liquid state or gas state reacts with the CoxWy type
intermetallic compound or the (Co-W)
solid solution; reacting for a proper period of time, rapidly cooling to
room temperature, thereby obtaining the alloy with alternating lamellar
microstructure characteristics. According to the invention, a novel path is provided for preparation of novel composite materials and connection of out-phase materials.
