Abstract
- PTFE/Al reactive material is an energetic material that releases energy under impact conditions, resulting in a wide range of application prospects. In order to improve its damage ability—considering the higher heat of the reaction per unit mass when Ni<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> is involved in the aluminothermic reaction—we designed and studied PTFE/Al/Ni<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>, a reaction material based on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). We also designed two other kinds (PTFE/Al, PTFE/Al/CuO) for comparative study, with the mass fraction of the metal oxides added at 10%, 20%, and 30%, respectively. The quasi-static compression properties and impact initiation behavior of the material were investigated by a universal material testing machine and a drop hammer test. The reaction process of different materials under a high strain rate was recorded using a high-speed camera. The results show that with the increase in Ni<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> content, the strength of the PTFE/Al/Ni<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> reactive material shows an increasing trend followed by a decreasing trend. Among the three reactive materials, when the content of Al/Ni<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> reaches 30 wt.%, the reaction duration is the longest (at 4 ms) and the reaction fireball is the largest. The addition of Ni<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> is helpful to improve the reactivity and reaction duration of the PTEF/Al reactive material. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
