Abstract

The present invention discloses a preparation method for a metal material, including: horizontally placing a to-be-prepared metal material between wavy surfaces of a female die and a male die; connecting a press machine with the male die; pressing the metal material through the male die, so that the metal material makes complete contact with the male die and the female die; ejecting the pressed metal material; horizontally overturning the metal material, and then placing the metal material between the wavy surfaces of the female die and the male die; repeatedly performing the pressing and overturning processes until accumulated strain of the metal material meets a requirement; and taking out the metal material after the deformed metal material is flattened by a plane die. According to the present invention, a large-size nano grained material can be manufactured.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A preparation method for a metal material, comprising:
horizontally placing a to-be-prepared metal material between wavy surfaces of a female die and a male die, wherein the female die and the male die respectively include a plurality of first mountain-shaped features having the wavy surfaces, and the plurality of first mountain-shaped features are substantially identical;
starting a press machine which is connected to the male die, and pressing the metal material through the male die, so that the metal material makes complete contact with the male die and the female die;
ejecting the pressed metal material, horizontally overturning the metal material, and then placing the metal material between the wavy surfaces of the female die and the male die, wherein the pressed metal material has a plurality of second mountain-shaped features;
repeatedly performing the pressing process, ejecting a re-pressed metal material, horizontally overturning the re-pressed metal material again, then, placing the re-pressed metal material between the wavy surfaces of the female die and the male die, and repeatedly performing the pressing and overturning processes until accumulated strain of the metal material meets a requirement; and
taking out the metal material after the deformed metal material is flattened by a plane die.

2. The preparation method for the metal material according to claim 1 , wherein the male die and the female die are made of die steel, and the metal material includes pure metal or an alloy.

3. The preparation method for the metal material according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of second mountain-shaped features of the pressed metal material after the horizontally overturning and the plurality of first mountain-shaped features of the male die and the female die are staggered from each other.

4. The preparation method for the metal material according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of first mountain-shaped features comprise a feature height (h), a feature width (w) and a feature radian.

5. The preparation method for the metal material according to claim 4 , wherein strain accumulated after one-time pressing is increased when the feature radian is increased.

6. The preparation method for the metal material according to claim 5 , wherein an upper limit of a thickness of the to-be-prepared metal material is increased when the feature height (h) and the feature width (w) are increased.

7. The preparation method for the metal material according to claim 1 , wherein the male die and the female die can be exchanged for use; and during repeated pressing, peak parts of the metal material make contact with peak parts of the male die and the female die.

8. The preparation method for the metal material according to claim 2 , wherein the male die and the female die can be exchanged for use; and during repeated pressing, peak parts of the metal material make contact with peak parts of the male die and the female die.

9. The preparation method for the metal material according to claim 3 , wherein the male die and the female die can be exchanged for use; and during repeated pressing, peak parts of the metal material make contact with peak parts of the male die and the female die.

10. The preparation method for the metal material according to claim 4 , wherein the male die and the female die can be exchanged for use; and during repeated pressing, peak parts of the metal material make contact with peak parts of the male die and the female die.

11. The preparation method for the metal material according to claim 5 , wherein the male die and the female die can be exchanged for use; and during repeated pressing, peak parts of the metal material make contact with peak parts of the male die and the female die.

12. The preparation method for the metal material according to claim 6 , wherein the male die and the female die can be exchanged for use; and during repeated pressing, peak parts of the metal material make contact with peak parts of the male die and the female die.
