A nano-ceramic particle reinforced aluminum foam matrix composite material and a preparation method thereof relates to an aluminum foam matrix composite material and a preparation method thereof. The invention solves the problem that in the preparation method of the ceramic particle reinforced aluminum foam matrix composite material, ceramic particles are micron-sized, the uniform distribution ofnano-ceramic particles can not be realized, and the existing ceramic particle reinforced aluminum foam matrix composite material has wide aperture and low compressive yield strength. The aluminum foam matrix composite material of the invention is prepared from aluminum or aluminum alloy powder, CaCO3 and nano-ceramic particles. The preparation method comprises the following steps: using a ball mill to process raw material powder and stearic acid, mixing powder, then placing the mixture in a graphite mould to perform vacuum hot press sintering and obtain a perform, performing forward extrudingto obtain a semi-finished product, heating and foaming to obtain the finished product. The aperture of the aluminum foam matrix composite material is less than 1mm, and the compressive yield strengthis 50-98MPa which is 2-20 times of that of the existing aluminum foam matrix composite material. By using the method of the invention, the nano-ceramic particles can be uniformly distributed in the aluminum foam matrix composite material.
