Abstract
An improved shielding structure of a bumper that constructed from Ti/Al/Mg density-graded materials was presented. Two types of Ti/Al/Mg density-graded materials with the same areal density were prepared by diffusion bonding and powder metallurgy, respectively. The characteristics of hypervelocity impact including penetration holes in the bumper, damage patterns on the rear wall and micrographs of the crater were investigated. The results show that damage mechanism of Ti/Al/Mg density-graded materials is closely related to the interface bonding strength and matrix strength. The penetration holes of Ti/Al/Mg density-graded material obtained by diffusion bonding exhibit typical ductile characteristics. The Ti/Al/Mg density-graded material prepared by powder metallurgy shows significant mechanical synergistic response under high strain compression and appears fragile characteristic. The shielding performance of Ti/Al/Mg bumper is increased by 20.4% compared with aluminum bumper. A theoretical analysis suggests that a Ti-Al-Mg bumper can fully break the projectile and greatly increase the entropy during the impact process. Larger projectile kinetic energy is converted into the internal energy during the impact process, thereby causing an obvious increase in shielding performance.
