Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field related to the preparation of metal-ceramic composite armor, and more specifically, relates to a method for preparing porous ceramic-reinforced metal composite armor with gradient porosity. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, the power of anti-armor weapons is increasing, which places higher and higher requirements on armor protection. At the same time, the combat mobility and rapid response capability of weapon systems are also an important indicator of combat capability in modern warfare. This requires new armor to not only have efficient bulletproof capabilities, but also be lightweight. Ceramic materials have outstanding characteristics such as high strength, high hardness, low density, corrosion resistance, and high wear resistance. They can meet the requirements of efficient bulletproof capabilities and lightness at the same time, so they are widely used in the field of armor protection. However, the inherent brittleness of single ceramic materials has always been an important reason restricting their application in the field of armor protection. The introduction of ceramic metal composite armor can effectively solve this problem. Ceramic metal composite armor has both high strength, high stiffness and high toughness. In recent years, it has become a research hotspot in the field of armor protection.

[0003] In the prior art, the common metal-ceramic composite armor is metal-ceramic-metal laminated armor. When the projectile hits the ceramic panel, the projectile energy is absorbed through the ceramic micro-crushing process, causing the projectile to lose most of its kinetic energy. The metal back plate absorbs the residual kinetic energy of the projectile through plastic deformation to prevent the fragments from causing secondary damage. The metal panel on the projectile surface prevents the projectile and ceramic fragments from flying. However, this sandwich structure has low interface matching and discontinuous interface stress, which may cause the ceramic plate to crack rapidly due to external impact. It has weak impact resistance and collapse resistance, poor resistance to multiple strikes, and average comprehensive anti-ballistic performance. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the traditional sandwich laminated armor structure, realize the three-dimensional continuous composite of ceramic and metal materials, and develop new composite armor.

[0004] Patent search found that some solutions have been proposed in the prior art. For example, patent CN110895122A discloses a metal-ceramic gradient composite armor and its preparation method. The composite armor is made of metal-cast ceramic balls. From the bullet-facing surface to the bullet-receiving surface, the ceramic balls are densely arranged in 2-4 layers. The diameter difference between two adjacent rows of ceramic balls is 1mm, and the thickness of the ceramic balls accounts for 2 / 3 of the total thickness of the composite armor. However, further research shows that the ceramic balls in the invention adopt a dense stack structure, that is, the ceramic balls are in contact with each other, the ceramic content per unit volume is large, the hardness is excessive but the toughness is insufficient, which is not conducive to resisting multiple strikes, and the ceramic density gradient cannot be accurately controlled.

[0005] For another example, CN 110744064 A discloses a metal-ceramic composite lattice armor with a three-dimensional constraint structure, which includes a plurality of ceramic shaped columns and a metal alloy material, wherein the plurality of ceramic shaped columns are arranged in a regular pattern, and the metal alloy material is filled in the gaps between the ceramic shaped columns and covers the outer surface of the armor. However, further studies have shown that this simple three-dimensional constraint structure results in a single orientation of mechanical properties when resisting bullets, making it difficult to effectively disperse load stress, and having poor resistance to multiple strikes.

[0006] Accordingly, there is an urgent need in this field to find a preparation process that can achieve effective dispersion of load stress, while significantly improving the metal-ceramic interface matching and enhancing the interface strength, so as to provide a metal-ceramic composite armor with higher comprehensive anti-ballistic performance. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of the above defects or needs of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a porous ceramic reinforced metal composite armor with gradient porosity, wherein the operating process of the entire preparation process, especially the design mechanism, is improved, and targeted adjustments are made around the process parameters and requirements of some key steps. The corresponding composite armor can not only achieve effective dispersion of load stress, but also significantly improve the metal-ceramic interface matching, improve the interface strength, and make the armor have excellent anti-penetration ability, impact resistance, collapse resistance and multiple strike resistance, thereby obtaining better comprehensive anti-ballistic performance.

[0015] Step 4: Enhancement of interface bonding performance and overall performance

[0016] The metal-ceramic composite armor blank obtained in step three is subjected to a reinforcement treatment through a hot isostatic pressing process. During this process, the ceramic and metal are further densified and the composite interface diffusion connection is strengthened, thereby obtaining the final porous ceramic-reinforced metal composite armor.

[0035] 1- Ceramic core reinforcement phase 2- Metal substrate phase DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Figure 1 The overall process flow chart of the method for preparing porous ceramic reinforced metal composite armor according to the present invention is as follows. Figure 1 To explain the present invention in more detail.

[0038] First, there is the step of designing the three-dimensional model of the ceramic core board.

[0039] In this step, a corresponding three-dimensional model is designed for the ceramic core plate to be prepared, in which the porosity varies in a gradient in the anti-projectile direction and a multi-layer three-periodic minimal surface unit cell is provided in the anti-projectile direction.

[0040] More specifically, for example, MATLAB can be used to control the parametric design of the minimal surface implicit function equation to obtain a three-dimensional CAD model of a ceramic core plate with different three-periodic minimal surface unit cell types, sizes and porosity gradients, and then the three-dimensional CAD model of the above-mentioned part to be formed can be sliced.

[0041] Next, there is the step of preparing the ceramic core board.

[0042] In this step, according to the three-dimensional model designed previously, silicon carbide ceramic powder is used as the main material, and a ceramic core plate blank of the corresponding shape can be prepared by additive manufacturing technology; then it undergoes medium-temperature carbonization treatment at 800°C to 900°C and high-temperature siliconization reaction sintering at 1450°C to 1600°C to obtain the required ceramic core plate.

[0043] Next, there is the step of melt infiltration filling of the metal substrate.

[0044] In this step, the molten liquid of the metal substrate can preferably be infiltrated and filled into the internal pores of the ceramic core plate obtained in step 2 by melt infiltration, thereby obtaining a metal-ceramic composite armor blank.

[0045] More specifically, the ceramic core plate is placed in a prefabricated mold and fixed in an infiltration furnace. The pressure difference is used to make the molten metal penetrate into the ceramic core plate and completely fill the pores. After cooling and solidification, a composite armor preform is obtained in which the ceramic core plate and the metal substrate are continuously and densely compounded in three-dimensional space.

[0046] Finally, there is the step of enhancing the interface bonding performance and overall performance.

[0047] In this step, the metal-ceramic composite armor blank obtained in step three is preferably subjected to a reinforcement treatment by a hot isostatic pressing process, during which the ceramic and metal are further densified and the composite interface diffusion connection is strengthened, thereby obtaining the final porous ceramic-reinforced metal composite armor.

[0048] More specifically, the composite armor preform is placed in a hot isostatic pressing chamber, the temperature and pressure are increased, and then the temperature and pressure are maintained for a period of time to complete the hot isostatic pressing process, so that the ceramic and metal are further densified and the ceramic-metal interface is diffusely connected, and the composite interface is strengthened. Finally, a metal-ceramic composite armor with excellent comprehensive anti-ballistic performance is obtained.

[0049] A number of specific embodiments are given below to illustrate the present invention in detail.

[0050] Example 1

The three-dimensional model is then converted into an STL format file.

[0052] (2) Silicon carbide ceramic powder and phenolic resin were ball-milled and mixed for 6 hours to obtain the composite powder required for additive manufacturing, in which the mass proportion of phenolic resin was 18%. Based on the three-dimensional model constructed above, the laser selective sintering technology was used to quickly form the ceramic core blank. The specific printing process parameters were: scanning spacing of 0.15 mm, scanning speed of 2300 mm / s, laser power of 8 W, and layer thickness of 0.15 mm. After SLS forming, medium-temperature carbonization treatment was carried out. The specific operation was to place the blank in a tubular sintering furnace, heat it at 2 °C / min in an argon atmosphere, heat it to 450 °C and keep it for 1 hour, then heat it to 900 °C and keep it for 2 hours, and then cool it with the furnace. Finally, high-temperature siliconization treatment was carried out in a siliconizing furnace. Under the condition of vacuum degree of 0.01 MPa, the temperature was increased at 5 °C / min, and a heat preservation platform was set at 500 °C, 800 °C, and 1200 °C, and finally the temperature was raised to 1500 °C for siliconization reaction sintering.

[0053] (3) The sintered ceramic core plate is placed in a prefabricated armor mold and preheated to 400°C, while the aluminum alloy block is melted at 750°C. The mold is connected to a vacuum tank to maintain negative pressure in the mold cavity, and the negative pressure generated by the vacuum under the ceramic core is used to achieve the infiltration of the molten aluminum alloy into the ceramic body. The molten aluminum alloy infiltrates into the mold cavity until it is completely saturated and infiltrates into the pores of the ceramic core plate, and then naturally cooled to obtain a composite armor prefabricated body.

[0054] (4) The obtained metal-ceramic composite armor preform is placed in a hot isostatic pressing chamber for hot isostatic pressing, and the temperature and pressure are raised to 500°C and 70MPa, and the temperature and pressure are maintained for 3 hours; the ceramic core plate and the metal substrate are further densified, and the uniform diffusion connection of the ceramic and metal interface is achieved to enhance the interface bonding strength.

According to the three-dimensional model constructed in step (1), the three-dimensional printing technology is used to quickly form the ceramic core plate blank. The specific printing process parameters are: the printing layer thickness is 0.1mm, and the spray volume is 70%. After the 3DP forming is completed, a carburizing process is carried out, and a carburizing solution with a phenolic resin concentration of 50% is prepared. The blank is infiltrated at -90kPa for 10min and then cured at 200℃. Then a medium-temperature carbonization treatment is carried out, and the phenolic resin is completely carbonized at 1100℃ for 2h. Finally, siliconization reaction sintering is carried out at 1550℃.
