摘要: 金属铝(Al)作为常用的活性金属之一被广泛应用于活性材料体系中,但Al存在反应活性偏低制约体系能量释放的问题。为此,将铝铈合金引入反应体系中,利用稀土铈的高反应活性的特性强化铝的反应活性。为研究稀土基活性材料在冲击过载下的力学特性和点火性能,开展了Al2Ce/PTFE、Al/PTFE、Al2Ce/高氧酸铵(AP)、Al/AP 4种活性材料体系的制备和表征,通过分离式霍普金森压杆实验系统动态加载,测量了4种活性材料体系的动态应力-应变曲线、点火延迟、燃烧持续时间等性能;通过热分析测试,分析了不同含量活性金属对AP的热分解性能的影响。结果表明:4种活性材料存在未燃烧、燃烧和爆燃3种冲击点火形态;Al2Ce/PTFE和Al/PTFE材料的点火性能较差;Al2Ce/AP体系的极限强度和临界失效应变较高,且冲击点火形态为爆燃,点火延迟和持续燃烧时间均低于Al/AP体系;Ce元素的引入加速了AP的分解,并使Al2Ce/AP体系的焓值大幅提高,能量释放更集中。Ce元素可以有效地提高金属铝的反应活性,其高反应活性的特性使活性体系材料的反应进程加速,并显著强化活性材料体系在冲击作用下的能量释放。综上所述,稀土铝合金材料因具有高反应活性优势,对于研制铝基冲击反应材料具有重要意义。Abstract: Aluminum (Al), a commonly used reactive metals, is widely applied in reactive material systems. However, its relatively low reactivity restricts the energy release of systems. To improve the reactivity of aluminum, we introduced aluminum-cerium Al-Ce alloy containing the highly reactive rare earth element cerium into the system. The present study investigated the mechanical properties and ignition performance of four reactive material systems involving Al2Ce/PTFE, Al/PTFE, Al2Ce/ammonium perchlorate (AP), and Al/AP were investigated under shock overload. A split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system was used to reveal the dynamic stress-strain behavior, ignition delay, and combustion duration of the prepared samples. Thermal analysis was conducted to assess the influence of the reactive metal content on the thermal decomposition of AP. The results showed there are three distinct shock-induced ignition modes: non-ignition, combustion, and combustion (deflagration). Both Al2Ce/PTFE and Al/PTFE exhibited substandard ignition performance. The Al2Ce/AP system demonstrates higher ultimate strength and critical failure strain, achieving deflagration upon impact with significantly shorter ignition delay and combustion duration compared to Al/AP. The incorporation of the cerium accelerates AP decomposition and substantially increased the enthalpy of the Al2Ce/AP system, resulting in more concentrated energy release. Ce effectively enhances the reactivity of aluminum, and its high reactivity accelerates the reaction kinetics of the reactive system. Furthermore, it significantly intensifies energy release under impact loading. In conclusion, the rare earth aluminum alloy materials exhibit a high reactivity, which demonstrates significant potential for the development of aluminum-based impact reaction materials.
