The present invention belongs to the technical field of
composite material preparation, and particularly relates to a high-performance
conch shell bionic structure aluminum-based composite armor and a forming method thereof. The forming process is as follows: first, mix powders, then stack and compact the powders to form a fixed combination, solutionize the laminated material of the combination and immediately perform hot rolling, and then perform aging treatment. Deep
cryogenic treatment can be carried out after aging; at least one layer in the intermediate layer of the laminated material before rolling is composed of powders, and the high-strength layer is located between
metal plates. The high-strength layer is composed of
ceramic particles and
metal particles evenly mixed. The present invention first attempts to introduce powders between two
metal plates. By virtue of the
high activity of the powders, solutionizing is carried out first and then rolling, which can improve the
diffusion of the powders and achieve better bonding. The strong and tough alternating stacking of the
conch shell structure causes cracks to deflect when passing between
layers, and will bypass the particles when passing through the particles in the high-strength layer to achieve deflection. This form of multiple reciprocating deflection of cracks can improve the
energy absorption rate, thereby improving the
impact resistance, and also greatly improving the strength and
toughness of the aluminum-based composite armor.
