The invention belongs to the technical field of
automobile safety protection, and particularly discloses an automobile collision
energy absorption composite material and a preparation method thereof.The
composite material comprises M
layers of particle reinforced foamed aluminum core materials and M+1
layers of dual-phase
steel plates, the foamed aluminum core materials and the dual-phase
steel plates are sequentially and alternately stacked, and the dual-phase
steel plates are composed of
austenite phases and
martensite phases. According to the automobile collision energy-absorbing material,
martensite is induced to form through dual-phase steel deformation at the moment of collision, so that a large amount of energy is absorbed at the moment of collision, the structure is kept stable, then
residual energy is absorbed through porous fluffy foamed aluminum, and the defects that a traditional collision energy-absorbing structure is prone to losing
efficacy at the moment of collision, and the
energy absorption effect cannot be completely reflected are overcome. Besides, the dual-phase steel has higher strength and
work hardening rate than aluminum
alloy and other light metals, so that higher
specific energy absorption can be realized under the condition of not sacrificing the strength and light weight, the same safety goal is achieved, and meanwhile, more cost is saved.
