【 摘 要 】

Several metal honeycombs, termed Linear Cellular Alloys (LCAs), were fabricated via a paste extrusion process and thermal treatment.Two Fe-Ni based alloy compositions were evaluated.Maraging steel and Super Invar were chosen for their compatibility with the process and the wide range of properties they afforded.Cell wall material was characterized and compared to wrought alloy specifications.The bulk alloy was found to compare well with the more conventionally produced wrought product when porosity was taken into account.The presence of extrusion defects and raw material impurities were shown to degrade properties with respect to wrought alloys.The performance of LCAs was investigated for several alloys and cell morphologies.The results showed that out-of-plane properties exceeded model predictions and in-plane properties fell short due to missing cell walls and similar defects.Strength was shown to outperform several existing cellular metals by as much as an order of magnitude in some instances.Energy absorption of these materials was shown to exceed 150 J/cc at strains of 50% for high strength alloys.Finally, the suitability of LCAs as an energetic capsule was investigated.The investigation found that the LCAs added significant static strength and as much as three to five times improvement in the dynamic strength of the system.More importantly, it was shown that the pressures achieved with the LCA capsule were significantly higher than the energetic material could achieve alone.High pressures, approaching 3 GPa, coupled with the fragmentation of the capsule during impact increased the likelihood of initiation and propagation of the energetic reaction.This multi-functional aspect of the LCA makes it a suitable capsule material.
