The present disclosure relates to an aluminum alloy material, and specifically to a weldable in-situ nano-strengthened rare-earth metal (REM)-containing aluminum alloy with high strength and toughness and a preparation method thereof. In the present disclosure, in-situ nano-ceramic particles and REMs simultaneously introduced into an Al—Zn—Mg alloy can effectively refine the grains and significantly improve the strength and toughness of the alloy; and REM-containing nano-precipitated phases and in-situ nanoparticles distributed in the grains or at grain boundaries can also significantly increase a recrystallization temperature of the alloy, effectively inhibit the dynamic recovery, reduce the re-dissolution of alloying elements, and improve the weldability of the alloy.

The present invention relates to an aluminum matrix composite (AMC), and particularly to a method and apparatus for preparing an AMC with a high strength, a high toughness, and a high neutron absorption. The present invention combines a high-neutron-absorption and highly stable micro-BC extrinsic reinforcement with an in-situ nano-reinforcement containing elements B, Cd, and Hf and having high neutron capture ability, achieves efficient absorption of neutrons by using the large cross-sectional area of the micro-reinforcement, achieves effective capture of rays penetrating gaps of the micro-reinforcement by means of the highly dispersed in-situ nano-reinforcement, and significantly improves the toughness of the composite material by means of the high-dispersion toughening effect of the nano-reinforcement, obtaining a particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composite (PAMC) having high toughness and high neutron absorption.
