Plastic deformation behavior of aluminum alloy fiber porous body and its filled tube under impact loading

The size of aluminum alloy fiber wire with a short side of 5mm, a long side of 10mm and an arc radius of 1mm were prepared from the raw material of 6061 aluminum alloy fiber with diameter of 0.15mm by Spring machine cutting, namely the structure size of 5×10mm bending aluminum alloy fiber. The aluminum alloy fiber porous body with different porosity were prepared by vacuum hot pressing sintering furnace, and it was sleeved with 6063 aluminum alloy round tube to prepare aluminum alloy fiber porous body filled tube. The impact test was carried out with drop hammer impact testing machine, The plastic deformation behavior of aluminum alloy fiber porous body and its filled tube under impact loading with different porosity was studied. The results show that the impact process of aluminum alloy fiber porous body can be divided into three stages: plastic platform stage, densification stage and unloading stage, the filled tube with aluminum alloy fiber porous body can be divided into four stages: elastic deformation stage, progressive buckling stage, densification stage and unloading stage. Low porosity will make more fibers, and more benefit the generation of the sintering necks, the plastic deformation strength increases with the porosity decrease. The coupling effect of the aluminum alloy tube and the aluminum alloy fiber porous body makes the filled tube absorb the same energy with shorter impact displacement, and has stronger impact resistance and better mechanical properties.
