摘要: 为提高含能材料爆炸能量的输出总量和功率,通过金属丝电爆炸产生的等离子体驱动含能材料环四亚甲基四硝胺(HMX)起爆,实现电能与化学能的耦合释放。通过搭建的电-化耦合爆炸实验系统,在常温常压空气中测量了爆炸过程中的电压、电流曲线,将电-化耦合爆炸划分为金属丝相变、电流暂停、等离子体放电和振荡放电4个典型阶段。研究表明,不同材质金属的主要能量沉积发生在不同阶段:镍和铜等凭借中等沸点及高电阻温度系数在金属丝相变和电流暂停阶段实现了高效的相变能量沉积;在等离子体放电阶段,铝因氧化层破裂发生爆发式汽化,并凭借低电离能形成高导等离子体,沉积能量显著跃升;钨通过液态显热蓄积和电阻急剧上升,在等离子体放电阶段的沉积能量占比超过80%。研究还发现,电流暂停现象受到金属材质(如电阻温度系数、沸点及汽化潜热等)的影响,其中,铜表现出最长的电流暂停时间,而钨则未出现该现象。研究结果揭示了金属材质对能量沉积过程的影响机制,为提升含能材料的能量输出总量和功率提供了实验依据与技术支撑。Abstract: To enhance the total output energy and power of energetic materials, plasma that generated by electrically exploded metal wires was employed to initiate the detonation of energetic materials, thereby achieving the coupled release of electrical and chemical energy. The voltage and current curves of electro-chemical coupling explosion were measured using a self-built experimental system under ambient temperature and pressure in air during the explosion process. The electro-chemical coupling explosion was divided into four typical phases: metal wire phase transition, current pause, plasma discharge, and oscillatory discharge. The research results indicate that the primary energy deposition of different metal materials occurs at different stages. Nickel and copper wires with medium boiling points and temperature coefficients of high resistance achieve efficient phase change energy deposition during the wire phase transition and current pause stages. During the plasma discharge stage, aluminum undergoes explosive vaporization due to fracture of the oxide layer. This process forms a highly conductive plasma owing to its low ionization energy, which leads to a significant leap in energy deposition. The resistance of tungsten increases sharply due to latent heat accumulation in the liquid phase, accounting for over 80% of its energy deposition during the plasma discharge stage. The study also reveals that the unique current pause phenomenon in electro-chemical coupling explosions is influenced by metal properties (such as temperature coefficient of resistance, boiling point, and latent heat of vaporization). Copper wires exhibit the longest current pause duration, while tungsten wires show no such phenomenon. This paper systematically investigates the power and energy deposition characteristics during electro-chemical coupling explosions, elucidates the influence mechanisms of metal materials on the energy release process, and provides experimental evidence and technical support for enhancing the total output energy and power of energetic materials.
