The influence of metallic particle size on the mechanical properties of PTFE-Al-W powder composites
read the original abstract
The dynamic mechanical properties of reactive materials (e.g., high density mixtures of polytetraflouroethylene (PTFE), aluminum (Al) and tungsten (W) powders) can be tailored by changing the morphology of the particles and porosity. Cold isostatically pressed PTFE-Al-W powder composites with fine metallic particles and a higher porosity exhibited higher ultimate compressive strength than less porous composites having equivalent mass ratios with coarse W particles. The mesoscale force chains between the fine metallic particles are responsible for this unusual phenomenon. We observed macrocracks below the critical failure strain for the matrix and a competition between densification and fracture in some porous samples in dynamic tests.
