Al-PTFE (aluminum-polytetrafluoroethene) is regarded as one of the most promising reactive materials (RMs). In this work, Ni (Nickel) was added to Al-PTFE composites for the purpose of improving the energy density and damage effect. To investigate the thermal behavior, mechanical properties and reaction characteristics of the Al-Ni-PTFE composites, an Al-PTFE mixture and an Al-Ni mixture were prepared by ultrasonic mixing. Six types of Al-Ni-PTFE specimens with different component mass ratios were prepared by molding sintering. Simultaneous thermal analysis experiments were carried out to characterize the thermal behavior of the Al-PTFE mixture and the Al-Ni mixture. Quasi-static compression tests were performed to analyze the mechanical properties and reaction characteristics of the Al-Ni-PTFE specimens. The results indicate that the reaction onset temperature of Al-Ni (582.7 °C) was similar to that of Al-PTFE (587.6 °C) and that the reaction heat of Al-Ni (991.9 J/g) was 12.5 times higher than that of Al-PTFE (79.6 J/g). With the increase of Ni content, the material changed from ductile to brittle and the strain hardening modulus and compressive strength rose first and then subsequently decreased, reaching a maximum of 51.35 MPa and 111.41 MPa respectively when the volume fraction of Ni was 10%. An exothermic reaction occurred for the specimens with a Ni volume fraction no more than 10% under quasi-static compression, accompanied by the formation of Ni-Al intermetallic compounds. In the Al-Ni-PTFE system, the reaction between Al and PTFE preceded the reaction between Al and Ni and the feasibility of increasing the energy density and damage effect of the Al-Ni-PTFE reactive material by means of Ni-Al reaction was proved.

To analyze the mechanical properties and reaction characteristics of Al-ZrH2-PTFE (aluminum-zirconium hydride-polytetrafluoroethylene) composites under quasi-static compression, five types of specimens with different ZrH2 contents (0%, 5%, 10%, 20% and 30%) were prepared by molding-vacuum sintering. The true stress-strain curves and reaction rates of the different specimens were measured using quasi-static compression. The specific reaction processes were recorded by a high-speed camera. The corresponding reaction products were characterized by the XRD phase analysis, the calorific value was tested by a Calorimeter, and the reaction mechanism was analyzed. According to the results, the strength of the composites increased first and then decreased with the increase in the content of ZrH2. It reached a maximum of 101.01 MPa at 5%. Violent reaction occurred, and special flames were observed during the reaction of the specimens with 5% ZrH2. With the increase in the content of ZrH2, the chemical reaction was hard to induce due to the reduction in strength and toughness of composites. The reaction mechanism of Al/ZrH2/PTFE reveals that high temperatures at crack tip induced the reaction of Al and PTFE. Subsequently, ZrH2 decomposed to release hydrogen and generate ZrC. Calorimetric experiment shows that the calorific value of Al/ZrH2/PTFE with 20% ZrH2 is higher than that of Al/PTFE. The findings verify the potential of ZrH2 as an energetic additive for the enhancement of strength and release of the energy of the composites.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of AlCoCrFeNi0.3 high-entropy alloys (HEAs) are tailored through heat treatment. During heat treatment, the dendrite phase with a body-centered-cubic (bcc) structure transformed into the interdendrite phase with a bcc structure. Due to the element accumulation with higher hardness in the interdendrites and the increase of volume fraction of interdendrites, the average hardness of AlCoCrFeNi0.3 HEAs increased with the heat-treatment temperature, and the highest hardness was 625 HV. After 500 heat treatment, the optimized mechanical properties under quasi-static compression were achieved, and the yielding strength and fracture plasticity were 2.30 GPa and 9 %, respectively. Upon dynamic loading, the mechanical properties of HEAs were greatly enhanced.

Ptfe Composites

Al-PTFE (aluminum-polytetrafluoroethylene) serves as one among the most promising reactive materials (RMs). In this work, six types of Al-PTFE composites with different Al particle sizes (i.e., 50 nm, 1∼2 μm, 6∼7 μm, 12∼14 μm, 22∼24 μm, and 32∼34 μm) were prepared, and quasistatic compression and drop weight tests were conducted to characterize the mechanical properties and reaction characteristics of Al-PTFE composites. The reaction phenomenon and stress-strain curves were recorded by a high-speed camera and universal testing machine. The microstructure of selected specimens was anatomized through adopting a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to correlate the mesoscale structural characteristics to their macroproperties. As the results indicated, in the case of quasistatic compression, the strength of the composites was decreased (the yield strength falling from 22.7 MPa to 13.6 MPa and the hardening modulus declining from 33.3 MPa to 25 MPa) with the increase of the Al particle size. The toughness rose firstly and subsequently decreased and peaked as 116.42 MJ/m3 at 6∼7 μm. The reaction phenomenon occurred only in composites with the Al particle size less than 10 μm. In drop weight tests, six types of specimens were overall reacted. As the Al particle size rose, the ignition energy of the composites enhanced and the composites turned out to be more insensitive to reaction. In a lower strain rate range (10−2·s−1∼102·s−1), Al-PTFE specimens take on different mechanical properties and reaction characteristics in the case of different strain rates. The formation of circumferential open cracks is deemed as a prerequisite for Al-PTFE specimens to go through a reaction.

Metal/fluoropolymer materials are typical reactive materials. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/Al/CuO reactive materials were studied in this research. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), quasi-static compression, the Split Hopkinson pressure bar test, and the drop hammer test were used to study the mechanical properties and induced reaction characteristics of the reactive materials with different Al/CuO thermite contents and different particle sizes. SEM images of the samples demonstrate that the reactive materials were mixed evenly. The compression test results show that, if the particle size of PTFE was too small, the strength of reactive materials after sintering was reduced. After sintering, with the increase in the content of Al/CuO thermite, the strength of the micro-sized PTFE/Al/CuO firstly increased and then decreased. The Johnson–Cook constitutive model can be used to characterize the reactive materials, and the parameters of the Johnson–Cook constitutive model of No. 3 reactive materials (PTFE/Al:Al/CuO = 3:1) were obtained. The reliability of the parameters was verified by numerical simulation. Drop hammer tests show that the addition of Al/CuO aluminothermic materials or the use of nano-sized PTFE/Al reactive materials can significantly improve the sensitivity of the material. The research in this paper can provide a reference for the preparation, transportation, storage, and application of reactive materials.

Preforming pressure and the pressure holding time are important parameters of the molding process, which directly affect the mechanical properties of materials. In order to obtain the best molding parameters of Al-rich Al/PTFE/TiH2 composites, based on the quasi-static compression test, the influence of molding parameters on the mechanical properties of Al-rich Al/PTFE/TiH2 composites was analyzed, and the microstructure characteristics of Al-rich Al/PTFE/TiH2 specimens were analyzed by SEM. An X-ray diffractometer was used to analyze the phase of the residue after quasi-static compression experiment. The results show that: (1) With the increase in molding parameters (preforming pressure and the pressure holding time), the compressive strength, failure strain and toughness of Al-rich Al/PTFE/TiH2 specimens first increase and then decrease. The best molding process parameters of Al-rich Al/PTFE/TiH2 materials are preforming pressure 240 MPa and the pressure holding time 100 s. (2) For unsintering specimens, when the preforming pressure is less than 150 MPa, the porosity of the specimen increases slowly at first and then decreases. When the preforming pressure is greater than 150 MPa, the porosity of the specimen increases first and then decreases. When the pressure holding time is no more than 100 s, the porosity of the specimen decreases gradually. When the pressure holding time is more than 100 s, the porosity of the specimen increases first and then decreases. For sintered specimens, when the preforming pressure is less than 100 MPa, the porosity of the specimen decreases gradually. When the preforming pressure is greater than 100 MPa, the porosity of the specimen first increases and then decreases. With the increase in the pressure holding time, the porosity first increases and then decreases. For each preforming pressure specimen, compared with that before sintering, the porosity after sintering either decreases or increases. For each the pressure holding time specimen, the porosity increases after sintering compared with that before sintering. The microstructure of PTFE crystal inside the specimen is mainly planar PTFE crystal. The size and number of planar PTFE crystals are significantly affected by the molding parameters, which further affects the mechanical properties of Al-rich Al/PTFE/TiH2 specimens. When the preforming pressure is less than 100 MPa, the planar PTFE crystals are small and few, which results in the worst mechanical properties of the specimens. When the preforming pressure is more than 100 MPa and does not contain 240 Mpa, the planar PTFE crystals are small and there are more of them, which results in better mechanical properties of the specimens. When the preforming pressure is 240 MPa, the planar PTFE crystals are large and numerous, which results in the best mechanical properties of the specimen. When the pressure holding time is 100 s, the planar PTFE crystals are large and there are more of them, which results in the best mechanical properties of the specimen. (3) The reactivity of Al-rich Al/PTFE/TiH2 specimens with TiH2 the content of 10% under quasi-static compression is not significantly affected by the molding parameters.

Metal matrix syntactic foams (MMSFs) were produced by low-pressure inert gas infiltration technique. Matrixes of the produced syntactic foams were Al99.5, AlSi12, AlMgSi1 and AlCu5 respectively, and each was reinforced by pure Fe based hollow. The produced blocks were investigated by optical and scanning electron microscopy. The microstructural investigations revealed proper infiltration with small amount of unwanted voids and an effective and thin interface layer between the matrix materials and the reinforcing spheres. The produced MMSFs were also tested under quasi-static compression loading to get characteristic mechanical properties. The test results showed that the MMSFs with iron spheres have outstanding mechanical properties compared to ‘conventional’ foams.
