Abstract
Al/Ni composite is widely recognized as a member of multifunctional energetic structural materials (MESMs), which could release energy due to exothermic chemical reactions initiated under shock loading conditions. In this study, an Al/Ni composite was produced via accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) process up to four cycles. The shock-induced reaction behavior of the material was investigated by means of a quasi-sealed test chamber. The results demonstrated that the Al/Ni composite fabricated by ARB underwent chemical reaction when impacted onto steel target. The energy released by reaction caused significant pressure rise inside the quasi-sealed chamber. It was shown that the amount of energy increased with the increasing of impact velocity. The results of this study represented the potential of Al/Ni composite processed by ARB as reactive fragments.
