Penetration Tests

In support of improved personal armour development, depth of penetration tests have been conducted on four different ceramic materials including alumina, modified alumina, silicon carbide and boron carbide. These experiments consisted of impacting ceramic tiles bonded to aluminum cylinders with 0.50 caliber armour piercing projectiles. The results are presented in terms of ballistic efficiency, and the validity of using ballistic efficiency as a measure of ceramic performance was examined. In addition, the correlation between ballistic performance and ceramic material properties, such as elastic modulus, hardness, spall strength and Hugoniot Elastic Limit, has been considered.

The Impact

Depth of penetration (DOP) test of ceramic tile subjected to long rod impact was analyzed by applying the Tate model. This paper investigated the influence of impact velocity and tile thickness on the ballistic performance measurement of the tested ceramic tiles. DOP test was simplified as an eroding rod penetrating a target composed of multilayered materials. Through applying the Tate model, the method of obtaining the numerical solution was proposed. For a constant impact velocity, it was found that the measured differential tile efficiency (DEF) was independent of the thickness of the ceramics tiles. But the measured DEF decreased as the impact velocity increased. These analytical conclusions were verified by the using of the results of DOP tests of SiC and Al2O3 tiles subjected to impact of long tungsten alloy rods at a nominal impact velocity of 1.3 km/s.

This paper presents the results of measurements of the spall strength and elastic-plastic proper-ties, under dynamic and static loads, of the high-strength heat-resistant nickel-chromium alloy Inconel 625, obtained by the direct laser deposition method. The structural parameters of the obtained samples and the mechanical properties during static tests were studied. According to our information, anisotropy in the structural parameters operates primarily at the level of plastic deformation of alloys. Shock compression of the additive alloy Inconel 625 samples in the range of 6–18 GPa was carried out using a light-gas gun, both along and perpendicular to the direction of the deposition. The strength characteristics were determined from the analysis of the shock wave profiles, which were recorded using the VISAR laser velocimeter during the loading of samples. It was found that the value of the spall strength of additive samples does not depend on the direction of deposition, and the Hugoniot elastic limit of samples loaded perpendicular to the deposition direction is about ~10% higher. With an increase in the maximum compression stress, the material’s spall strength increases slightly, but for both types of samples, a slight decrease in the Hugoniot elastic limit was observed as the compression stresses increase. On the basis of the measured wave profiles, shock Hugoniots of the samples of the alloy Inconel 625, loaded both along and perpendicular to the direction of deposition, are constructed in this pressure range.

The Hugoniot elastic limit and spall strength of reactor steel 09G2SA-A under shock compression were measured by recording and subsequent analysis of the wave profiles. The temperature-rate dependences of the resistance to high-strain rate and fracture of steel at normal and elevated temperatures are determined. The results of measurements of the strength characteristics of steel under spall are supplemented by a metallographic analysis of the fracture zone and compared with data for 15Kh2NMFA reactor steel and Armco iron.

Impact Experiments

Seven aluminas of varying grain size, glass content and porosity were tested in plate-impact experiments over a range of impact stresses. Longitudinal stresses were measured using manganin gauges bonded between 8 mm thick tiles and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) backing blocks. Wave profiles were recorded by a 1 GS s –1 storage oscilloscope. Measurements were made of the Hugoniot elastic limit (HEL), rise time of the ‘plastic’ wave and of spall strength for each material. The spall strength was measured at impact velocities corresponding to less than 0.4 HEL stress for each material. The HEL was observed to decrease with increasing grain size while the ‘plastic’ wave rise time increased with increasing grain size. The spall strength increases with a decrease in porosity and an increase in alumina content. Variation in the spall strength was observed to occur over a range of stresses below half the elastic limit of the material.
