摘要
为了支撑陶瓷/金属复合装甲的结构设计,研究不同基体材料与分布梯度陶瓷/金属复合装甲的抗侵彻性能与冲击能量耗散原理。采用超重力场辅助燃烧合成法制备了一种变梯度陶瓷/高熵合金复合材料,通过X射线衍射分析(X-ray diffraction analysis, XRD)和扫描电子显微镜(scanning electron microscope, SEM)测试验证了陶瓷分布呈现变梯度状态。模拟了变梯度陶瓷/高熵合金复合材料对抗侵彻性能与应力波传递的影响规律并通过打靶试验得到了验证。研究发现,陶瓷的分布梯度越大、金属基体的屈服强度越高,靶板的抗侵彻性能越好。梯度复合材料沿厚度方向变化的材料特性,导致应力波传播的发散性,从而降低应力波的强度、延迟反射拉伸波到达峰值的时间,从而增加了弹丸与靶体之间的相互作用时间,提高了复合材料耗散弹丸动能的能力。
Abstract
To support the structural design of ceramic/metal composite armor, the anti-penetration performance and energy dissipation mechanisms of ceramic/metal composite armor under different base materials and distribution gradients was studied to optimize the structural design of the armor. A varied-gradient ceramic/high-entropy alloy composite material was prepared using combustion synthesis method assisted by an ultra-high gravity field, XRD (X-ray diffraction analysis) and SEM (scanning electron microscope) tests confirmed the varied-gradient distribution of the ceramics. The influence of the varied-gradient ceramic/high-entropy alloy composite on penetration resistance and stress wave propagation was simulated and subsequently verified through target tests. It is found that the greater the distribution gradient of the ceramic and the higher the yield strength of the metal matrix, the better the penetration resistance of the target plate. Stress waves propagated in a divergent manner due to the varying material properties of gradient composite materials along the thickness direction, which reducing the intensity of the stress wave and delaying reflection tensile wave to reach the peak, thereby increasing the interaction time between the projectile and the target, and improving the ability of the composite material to dissipate the kinetic energy of the projectile.
