Dynamic response and impact energy release mechanism of (Ti2Zr)1.5NbVAl0.5 high-entropy alloy
-
摘要: 针对高速冲击下传统金属材料能量释放效率低、动态响应不足等瓶颈问题,聚焦于Ti-Zr-Nb-V系难熔高熵合金,利用其多组元协同效应开发出一种单相体心立方晶体结构(body-centered cubic, BCC)高熵合金(Ti2Zr)1.5NbVAl0.5,其晶格常数为
3.3501 Å,平均晶粒尺寸为336.7 μm。随后开展了准静态、动态力学测试和直接弹道试验,结果表明,合金具有良好的强塑性协同效应,屈服强度为885.2 MPa,当压缩应变率由0.001 s−1升至6000 s−1时,屈服强度提升123%,并且低温下其对应变率的敏感性显著高于高温。当冲击速度由734 m/s升至1375 m/s时,弹丸的破碎程度加剧,准密闭容器内温度场不断升高至峰值2124.15 K,相应的释能持续时间由5 ms延长至12 ms。利用有限元-光滑粒子流体动力学耦合(finite element method-smoothed particle hydrodynamics, FEM-SPH)算法复现了高熵合金侵彻温升和破碎行为,验证了拟合的Johnson-Cook本构参数及Grüneisen状态方程的可靠性。微观分析揭示了(Ti2Zr)1.5NbVAl0.5高熵合金能量释放机制源于绝热剪切带内的位错重组,高速冲击下交滑移的抑制导致位错达到饱和状态,并引发局部晶格失稳进一步导致整体结构失效,而低速冲击下动态再结晶行为能够有效延缓失效进程。Abstract: To overcome the limitations of traditional metallic materials regarding energy-release efficiency under high-velocity impact, this study designed and fabricated a novel single-phase body-centered cubic (BCC) structured lightweight refractory high-entropy alloy (Ti2Zr)1.5NbVAl0.5. The investigation employed a combined approach of multi-scale experimentation and numerical simulation. The as-cast microstructure was characterized, revealing a homogeneous composition with an average grain size of 336.7 μm. Quasi-static and dynamic mechanical tests were conducted to evaluate strength, plasticity, and strain-rate sensitivity, providing data to fit the Johnson-Cook constitutive and damage parameters. Direct ballistic experiments were conducted at impact velocities of 734, 950, and1375 m/s to analyze fragmentation behavior, temperature evolution, and energy release within a quasi-confined chamber. A coupled finite element method-smoothed particle hydrodynamics (FEM-SPH) numerical model was developed to simulate the penetration process, successfully replicating experimental temperature rises and fragmentation patterns. The results showed that the alloy possesses an excellent strength-plasticity synergy and remarkable strain-rate sensitivity, with yield strength increasing by 123% to1977.3 MPa at6000 s−1. Ballistic tests demonstrated that increased impact velocity intensified fragmentation and energy release, achieving a peak chamber temperature of2124.15 K and extending the release duration to 12 ms at1375 m/s. Microstructural analysis revealed that the energy release mechanism is governed by dislocation dynamics within adiabatic shear bands (ASBs). At lower impact velocities (e.g., 734 m/s), dynamic recrystallization in ASBs alleviates strain hardening. In contrast, at high velocities (e.g.,1375 m/s), suppressed cross-slip leads to dislocation saturation, local lattice instability, and ultimately severe fragmentation coupled with exothermic oxidation. The study concludes that (Ti2Zr)1.5NbVAl0.5 high-entropy alloy exhibits outstanding dynamic properties and controllable impact-induced energy release, primarily driven by velocity-dependent microstructural evolution in ASBs, demonstrating significant potential as a new-generation energetic structural material for extreme dynamic loading applications.-
