- (1)
- When the impact velocity increases from 1000 m/s to 1500 m/s, the penetration fracture mode of WF/Zr-MG rods changes from shear fracture to the bending and backflow of tungsten fibers. The penetration fracture mode of WF/Zr-MG rods is mainly affected by the deformation mode of Zr-MG. At 1000 m/s, the fracture mode of Zr-MG is shear localization, and Zr-MG and tungsten fibers deform together, which leads to the penetration fracture mode of WF/Zr-MG rods being shear fracture. At 1500 m/s, the deformation mode of Zr-MG changes to non-Newtonian flow, and Zr-MG loses the constraint on the tungsten fibers, which causes the penetration fracture to change to the bending and backflow of tungsten fibers.
- (2)
- Under the same penetration conditions, the length of the quasi-steady penetration phase of WF/Zr-MG rods is longer than that of WHA rods, and the average crater diameter in the quasi-steady penetration phase is smaller, which results in the higher penetration ability of WF/Zr-MG rods.
