| Abstract Scope |
Metal matrix composites (MMCs) reinforced with ceramics can exhibit enhanced mechanical properties when compared to homogeneous metallic materials. These properties include high hardness and ultimate strengths. These are desirable material properties for armour application. This research in particular tested and evaluated the effect of carbon content on the dynamic tensile response (spall) of additive manufactured (AM) Ti-Ni-C composites. The spall behavior was studied through a flyer plate impact test utilizing a 70mm single stage gas gun and ultrasonic Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). The conclusive influence of carbon content on the spall behavior has been characterized. Preliminary results indicate that the spall strength decreases and damage increases with an increase in carbon content. |
