Abstract
Abrupt change of acoustic impedance at the interfaces of step gradient composites is the main reason which hinder their further improving of bulletproof performance. Eliminating these interfaces is an effective method to fundamentally solve this problem. In this study, continuous gradient Ti/TiB–TiB2 composite was fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) combined with tape casting. Interfaces between the different thin tape layers were successfully eliminated through the growth of rod-like TiB crystals during SPS sintering. High speed impact test indicates the continuous gradient Ti/TiB–TiB2 composite not only possesses excellent anti-penetration performance, but also has the ability to resist a second strike.
