description Aiming at the problems of poor bonding between the carbon fiber and the metal matrix and the friction and wear performance of the composite material during the preparation of carbon fiber reinforced zinc-based aluminum rich alloy composites, the carbon fiber surface metallization process was studied. Taking ZA27 as the research object, a new type of zinc-based aluminum rich alloy composite material was prepared by using surface metallized chopped carbon fibers with different contents as reinforcement materials. The microscopic morphology, element distribution and phase composition of the surface metallized carbon fiber and composite materials were characterized, and the hardness and friction and wear properties of the composite materials were tested. The results show that: the surface metallization of carbon fiber effectively reduces the diffusion of carbon elements into the matrix material during the sintering process, and improves the interface bonding between the carbon fiber and the matrix material; Compared with ZA27 alloy, the hardness of 6vt% carbon fiber is increased by 29.6%, and the average friction coefficient and wear rate are reduced by about 18.4% and 96%, respectively, indicating that the carbon fiber reinforced zinc-based aluminum rich alloy composite material optimizes the friction and wear performance of traditional materials.
