| Abstract Scope |
The compressive behaviour of additively manufactured Ti-Ni-C composites was investigated through quasi-static compression and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar tests. The carbon content within the Ti-Ni-C samples were varied in order to identify its influence on the mechanical behavior of the material. Mechanical tests and optical microscopy were used in order identify the effectiveness of Ti-Ni-C composite as a functionally graded material of potential use in ballistic protection. Specimens with 5.3%C and 6%C content yielded mechanical properties. This indicates a saturation effect at these levels of carbon content. Specimens with lower carbon content are currently ongoing. Most important results will be presented. |
