[0002] Aluminum alloy-ceramic composite lightweight armor has good impact resistance and processing performance, and can effectively balance the dual requirements of lightweight and ballistic performance of armored vehicles in modern warfare due to its high mass protection and space protection coefficients.

[0003] The existing aluminum alloy-ceramic composite armor has two typical structures: one is an "aluminum alloy-ceramic-aluminum alloy" layered structure, which meets the lightweight demand of the armor, but the whole brittle ceramic layer is prone to brittle fracture after being impacted by a projectile. The broken ceramic pieces directly reduce the secondary ballistic resistance of the armor; the other is a ceramic column array arrangement structure based on aluminum armor, that is, after array arrangement of prefabricated holes is processed on the aluminum armor plate, ceramic columns are inserted, and finally surface packaging treatment is performed. Although this structure solves the problem of whole ceramic layer breaking, the connection strength between the ceramic column and the aluminum substrate is poor. The large number of prefabricated holes on the aluminum armor weaken the overall stiffness of the armor, and the prefabricated hole is prone to stress concentration and becomes a crack source after being impacted by a projectile, accelerating the failure of the armor. The process of inserting ceramic columns into prefabricated holes and then packaging is also more complicated, and the processing automation is difficult.

[0034] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The application will be further described in detail below: the embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical scheme of the application, and a detailed implementation manner is given, but the protection scope of the application is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0035] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 , the embodiment of the application provides a robot deformation driving solid phase additive manufacturing method, which comprises the following steps:

[0036] Step S1: centering the prefabricated hole, and conveying the raw material powder into the prefabricated hole;

[0037] Step S2: solid phase sintering of the raw material powder by friction stirring treatment, and metallurgical connection with the to-be-processed plate, to complete single-layer additive manufacturing;

[0038] Step S3: according to actual needs, repeating steps S1 and S2 to complete multi-layer additive manufacturing until the additive manufacturing material in the prefabricated hole is flush with the plate surface of the to-be-processed plate;

[0039] Step S4: delivering the raw material powder into the preformed hole at the junction with the plate surface, repeating step S2 until the surface of the preformed hole is compacted.

[0040] The robot deformation driving solid-phase additive manufacturing method provided in the embodiment of the present application can improve the overall stability of the plate by stirring and rubbing the raw material powder to make it solid-phase sintering and metallurgical connection with the plate to be processed, avoid the brittle fracture of the whole hard and brittle ceramic layer in the prior art after being impacted by a projectile, and improve the rigidity and secondary ballistic performance of the armor structure. The embodiment of the present application can realize the gradient additive manufacturing of the ceramic column by repeating the single-layer additive manufacturing and adjusting the powder type and ratio, and provide greater freedom for the comprehensive design of lightweight and toughening of the armor plate. At the same time, the method of the embodiment has low processing difficulty and can be applied to the preparation of components with vertical working conditions or multi-surface three-dimensional structures.

[0041] Specifically, in view of the problem of the prior art that the preformed hole aluminum armor plate has no metallurgical connection between the ceramic column and the aluminum base plate, and the connection strength is poor, the embodiment of the present application changes the ceramic raw material powder into the preformed hole, and then makes the raw material powder solid-phase sintering by stirring and rubbing to make the raw material powder solid-phase sintering and metallurgical connection with the plate to be processed, improves the bonding degree of the ceramic material in the preformed hole and the aluminum armor plate, and further improves the overall rigidity of the armor while avoiding stress concentration.

[0042] In order to improve the bonding degree and material stability, in step S4, for the junction between the preformed hole and the plate surface, the embodiment ensures that the entire surface of the preformed hole is effectively compacted and effectively combined with the surrounding plate surface by additive manufacturing, further improving the overall rigidity of the armor.

[0043] In some embodiments, in step S1, the raw material powder includes aluminum and reinforcing phase particles; the reinforcing phase particles include SiC particles, TiC particles, and B4C particles and their corresponding whiskers, as well as graphene and carbon nanotubes; the proportion of the reinforcing phase particles in the raw material powder is 5%-98%. In this way, the gradient design of the ceramic column in the axial direction can be realized by adjusting the type and adding ratio of the reinforcing phase particles, meeting the comprehensive design requirements of lightweight and toughening of the armor plate.

[0044] In some embodiments, in step S2, the stirring and rubbing treatment includes: stirring and rubbing the raw material powder by the stirring needle 202 to make the raw material powder have a high strain value.

[0045] Specifically, the stirring needle 202 is pressed into the raw material powder and rotates at high speed, and large heat and high strain are generated by the friction between the stirring needle working surface 20203 and the raw material powder and the friction between the raw material powder itself, so that the layer of raw material powder is completed solid phase sintering and metallurgical connection with the side wall of the prepared hole of the plate to be processed, realizing the combination of additive manufacturing material and the plate, and improving the overall rigidity of the material.

[0046] In some embodiments, in step S4, the prepared hole and the plate surface intersection includes: a circumferential array point position at an interval of at least 90° on the circumference of the prepared hole. Thus, the compaction of the additive manufacturing material in the prepared hole and the effective combination with the plate surface around the prepared hole are effectively realized.

Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the variable distance guiding and storing part 3 in the embodiment includes a flange plate 301, a storing stationary shaft shoulder 302, bolts 303, a shrink nut 304, and a strong spring 305; the flange plate 301 is installed at the end of the robot terminal shaft 101 through an inner diameter threaded hole 30105, four flange plate through holes 30101 are opened at equal angles in the circumference of the flange plate 301, and the flange plate 301 is used for installing the bolts 303.

The inner diameter of the lower end surface 30204 of the storing stationary shaft shoulder should be slightly larger than the pre-prepared hole 501, and the maximum difference should be less than 0.2mm, so as to prevent interference with the stirring needle 202 and ensure that the storing stationary shaft shoulder 302 effectively stamps the material around the pre-prepared hole 501, thereby preventing the material around the pre-prepared hole 501 from being turned up during the operation of the stirring needle 202.

When powder feeding is needed, as the deformation driving module 2 is further slowly pressed down, the inductor window 403 of the laser control pulse switch 402 moves out of the outer edge of the powder storage stationary shaft 302, the laser return signal disappears, and the powder feeder 404 in the normally closed state is activated to perform a pulse powder feeding.

[0056] In some embodiments, the deformation driving module 2 includes a tool holder 201 and a stirring needle 202, and the stirring needle 202 is connected with the electric spindle through the tool holder 201 for stirring and friction processing of the raw material powder at a preset position.
