文摘To study the thermal decomposition of Al/Zr H_(2)/PTFE with different Al particle size as well as mechanical strength and impact sensitivity under medium and low strain rates,molding-vacuum sintering was adopted to prepare four groups of power materials and cylindrical specimens with different Al particle size.The active decomposition temperature of Zr H_(2) was obtained by TG-DSC,and the quasi-static mechanics/reaction characteristics as well as the impact sensitivity of the specimen were studied respectively by quasi-static compression and drop-hammer test.The results show that the yield strength of the material decreased with the increase of the Al particle size,while the compressive strength,failure strain and toughness increased first and then decreased,which reached the maximum values of 116.61 MPa,191%,and 119.9 MJ/m respectively when the Al particle size is 12-14 mm because of particle size grading.The specimens with the highest strength and toughness formed circumferential open cracks and reacted partly when pressed.Those with developmental cracks formed inside did not react.It is considered that fracture of specimens first triggered initial reaction between Al and PTFE to release an amount of heat.Then ZrH_(2) was activated and decomposed,and participated in subsequent reaction to generate Zr C.The impact sensitivity of the specimens decreased with the increase of Al particle size.
