Abstract

Interfacial structure in 55%TiB 2/Al composite before and after high speed impact was investigated in detail. It is found that there is no stacking fault in original TiB 2 particle before fabrication or in TiB 2 particle in composite. However, after the composite is impacted by 1.2mm projectile with the velocity of 2.5km/s, stacking fault forms along the (0001) plane around the edge of TiB 2 particle and grows with a step-like epitaxial way, resulting from the high pressure of shock wave. At the bottom of crater in the target, Al matrix around the TiB 2 particle was molten and then oxidated, which results in the formation of Al xO 1-x (x<1) phase between TiB 2 particle and Al matrix. It is found that TiB 2 particle and Al xO 1-x phase combine well and have no reacted layer at the interface and there exists an orientation between two phases: [0 1 1̄ 0]TiB2//[3 1 0]AlxO1-x, (2̄ 1 1 0)TiB2//(0 0 2)AlxO1-x.
