Definitions
- the present invention relates to the encapsulation of ceramic materials with bulk amorphous alloys and, more particularly, to an impact resistant ceramic armor encapsulated with bulk amorphous alloys and a method of forming such armor.
- Ceramic materials have long been considered for use in the fabrication of armor components because ceramic materials have a high hardness, are potentially capable of withstanding armor-piercing projectiles, and are relatively lightweight.
- the use of ceramic materials in armor applications has been limited by the low impact resistance of these materials, which results from ceramic' s brittleness and lack of toughness.
- one of the significant drawbacks to the use of ceramic materials in armor applications is that they lack repeat hit capability. In other words, ceramic materials tend to disintegrate upon the first hit and cease to be useful when subjected to multiple projectiles. For a more effective utilization of ceramic materials in armor applications, it is necessary to improve the impact resistance of this class of materials.
- an armor component formed of an encapsulated ceramic material that has improved impact resistance and for an inexpensive method for . forming an armor component from a ceramic material that has improved impact resistance.

- the armor includes a ceramic core, and a layer of bulk amorphous alloy surrounding the ceramic core and preferably bonded chemically to the ceramic core.
- Exemplary embodiments of composite armors in accordance with the present invention are chown schematically in Figures 1 to 5.
- the geometry of the ceramic-amorphous alloy configuration can take a variety of forms.
- a monolithic single piece of ceramic material (a tile) is fully encapsulated by an amorphous alloy material, as shown in Figure 1.
- one face of the ceramic armor can be left exposed as shown in Figure 2.
- the ceramic tile dimension can vary from 2"x2" up to 30"x30" or more depending on the availability and the quality of the specific ceramic material.
- the thickness of the tile can be from 0.1" to 1.0" or more.
- the tile geometry can be in any shape such as rectangular, square, hexagonal, triangular. The use of such single-piece monolithic ceramics is desired for higher effectiveness of armor.
- the amorphous alloy and the ceramic material can be layered in a laminated structure, where the alternating layers of ceramic material and bulk amorphous are composed as shown in Figures 3 and 4.
- a plurality of ceramic pieces may be embedded in an amorphous alloy matrix as shown in Figure 5.
- the dimensions of the ceramic pieces are smaller than 2"x2".
- Such a plurality of ceramic pieces facilitates the preservation of the general structure of the ceramic-amorphous alloy composite by limiting the propagation of ceramic fracture throughout the whole structure as the cracks in ceramic will be arrested by the tougher metallic matrix.
- Such configurations are also desirable for reduced cost, as well as to making larger structures when larger size tiles are not readily available for a particular ceramic material.
- the shape of the ceramic pieces can be in any suitable form such as the cylindrical short rods shown in Figure 5.
- Various configurations and shapes of ceramic pieces can be utilized as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,408,734.
- the thickness of the amorphous layer may be varied.
- the thickness of the amorphous layer is less than 2.0 mm and preferably less than 1.0 mm. In these cases, the toughness and ductility of the amorphous alloy will be higher due to geometric constraints.
- the ceramic core is formed in the shape of the desired armor component.
- the ceramic core preferably is comprised of a ceramic material selected from the group consisting of A1 2 0 3 , B 4 C, SiC, Si 3 N and TiB 2 .
- the ceramic material has a density 99 % or higher.
- specific ceramics are described above, it will be understood that the principles of the invention are applicable to any ceramic material having high hardness.
- the metallic outer coating is comprised of a bulk amorphous alloy. Such bulk solidifying amorphous alloys are recently discovered family of amorphous alloys, which may be cooled at substantially lower cooling rates, of about 500 K/sec or less, and substantially retain their amorphous atomic structure.
- these materials may be produced in thickness of 1.0 mm or more, substantially thicker than conventional amorphous alloys, which require cooling rates of 10 5 K/sec or more, and can only be cast to thicknesses of around 0.020 mm.
- U.S. Patent Nos. 5,288,344; 5,368,659; 5,618,359; and 5,735,975 disclose such bulk solidifying amorphous alloys.
- An exemplary family of bulk solidifying amorphous alloys is described by the molecular formula: (Zr,Ti) a (Ni, Cu, Fe) b (Be, Al, Si,B) c , where a is in the range of from about 30 to about 75, b is in the range of from about 5 to about 60, and c in the range of from about 0 to about 50, in atomic percentages. Furthermore, these alloys may accommodate substantial amounts of other transition metals up to 20%, in atomic percent, such as Nb, Cr, V, Co.
- a preferable alloy family is (Zr, Ti) a (Ni, Cu) b (Be) c , where a is in the range of from about 40 to about 75, b is in the range of from about 5 to about 50, and c in the range of from about 5 to about 50 in atomic percentages. Still, a more preferable composition is (Zr, Ti) a (Ni, Cu) b (Be) c , where a is in the range of from about 45 to about 65, b is in the range of from about 7.5 to about 35, and c in the range of from about 10 to about 37.5 in atomic percentages.
- Another preferable alloy family is (Zr) a (Nb,Ti) b (Ni, Cu) c (Al) d , where a is in the range of from about 45 to about 65, b is in the range of from about 0 to about 10, c is in the range of from about 20 to about 40 and d in the range of from about 7.5 to about 15, in atomic percentages.
- Such bulk solidifying amorphous alloys may sustain strains up to 1.5 % or more without any permanent deformation or breakage. Further, these materials have high fracture toughness of 10 ksi-Vin or more, and preferably 20 ksi-Vin or more. Also, they have high hardness values of 4 GPa or more, and preferably 5.5 GPa or more. The yield strength level of bulk solidifying alloys range from 1.6 GPa and reach up to 2 GPa and more exceeding the current state of the Titanium alloys. Furthermore, the above bulk amorphous alloys have a density in the range of about 4.5 to 6.5 g/cc, and, as such, provide high strength to weight ratios. In addition, bulk solidifying amorphous alloys have very good corrosion resistance.
- ferrous-based metal (Fe, Ni, Co) compositions are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,325,868, and in publications to A. Inoue et . al . , Appl . Phys. Lett., Volume 71, p 464 (1997); Shen et . al . , Mater. Trans., JIM, Volume 42, p 2136 (2001); and Japanese patent application 2000126277 (Publ. # .2001303218 A), all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- One exemplary composition of such ferrous-based alloys is Fe 72 Al 5 Ga 2 P ⁇ C 6 B 4 .
- Fe 2 Al 7 Zr ⁇ oMo 5 W 2 B ⁇ 5 Another exemplary composition of such alloys is Fe 2 Al 7 Zr ⁇ oMo 5 W 2 B ⁇ 5 .
- these alloy compositions are not processable to the degree of the Zr-base alloy systems, they can be still be processed in thicknesses around 1.0 mm or more, sufficient to be utilized in the current invention.
- the ferrous-based alloys have generally higher densities, from 6.5 g.cc to 8.5 g/cc, their yield strength is also higher, ranging from 2.5 GPa to 4 GPa or more, making them particularly attractive for armor applications.
- ferrous-based alloys have elastic strain limits of higher than 1.2% and generally about 2.0 %.
- Ferrous metal-base bulk amorphous alloys also have very high yield hardnesses ranging from 7.5 GPA to 12 GPa.
- crystalline precipitates in bulk amorphous alloys are highly detrimental to these materials' properties, especially to the toughness and strength. As such, it is generally preferred to keep the volume fraction of crystalline precipitates to a minimum if possible.
- ductile crystalline phases precipitate in-situ during the processing of bulk amorphous alloys, and which are indeed beneficial to the properties of bulk amorphous alloys, especially to the toughness and ductility.
- Such bulk amorphous alloys comprising such beneficial precipitates are also included in the current invention.
- One exemplary case is disclosed in the publication to C.C. Hays et . al, Physical Review Letters, Vol. 84, p 2901, 2000, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the very high “yield” strength of bulk amorphous alloys can be utilized to constrain the ceramic core very effectively and impede the material's disintegration.
- the important strength parameter is the “yield” strength of the surrounding metal.
- bulk amorphous alloys (indicated, throughout the figures as LM-001, an Amorphous alloy manufactured by LiquidMetal Technologies, Inc.) have a yield strength of 1.6 GPa and more, much higher than conventional metals. The higher the yield strength is the higher resistance against disintegration forces and provides a more effective constrain.
- elastic strain limit also plays a similarly important role, as a material having a higher elastic limit provides a more effective constraint for the ceramic core. Accordingly, the higher the elastic limit, the better the hold the material will have on the ceramic core.
- generally conventional metals have elastic strain limits of 0.6% or less.
- bulk amorphous alloys have elastic strain limits higher than 1.2% and generally their elastic strain limit is about 2.0%. The unique combination of high yield-strength and high elastic limit of bulk amorphous metals makes them highly useful as a surrounding metal for ceramic cores since highly effective constraints for the ceramic core can be achieved and the integrity of the ceramic material can be preserved for multiple hits.
- Another advantage of the bulk solidifying amorphous alloys is the deformation mechanism by localized shear bands.
- the deformation of amorphous alloys will be limited to a very small portion of the amorphous alloy, which will in effect keep the substantial portion of the amorphous alloy intact. This will allow the amorphous alloy to preserve the constraining effect on the ceramic and improving its effectiveness.
- the deformation of metallic component propagates throughout the most the structure and as such distorts and deprives the constraining action necessary to improve the effectiveness of ceramic component .
- the current invention also provides a method for forming the bulk amorphous alloy encapsulated ceramic core. Further advantages of using bulk amorphous alloys as the surrounding material can be seen from the method of forming the bulk amorphous alloy encapsulated ceramic core.
- the methods described in the invention also provide a cost- effective process for encapsulation of ceramic cores with a very high yield-strength metal. Further, the methods provide a near-to-net shape forming process for the encapsulation of ceramic cores.
- the bulk amorphous alloy in molten form (above the melting temperatures of its crystalline phases) may be disposed so as to surround the ceramic core in a suitable mold by a casting method (route A as shown in Figure 8) .
- a casting method route A as shown in Figure 8
- Various casting methods can be used such as permanent mold casting, counter gravity casting and die-casting.
- die-casting is disclosed in
- the bulk amorphous alloy is preferably disposed to surround the ceramic core uniformly so that a layer having uniform thickness will be formed upon solidification of the molten alloy.
- the amount of bulk amorphous alloy disposed around the ceramic core may be varied depending on the desired thickness of the layer.
- bulk amorphous alloys retain their fluidity from above the melting temperature down to the glass transition temperature due to the lack of a first order phase transition. This is in direct contrast conventional metals and alloys. Since, bulk amorphous alloys retain their fluidity, they do not accumulate significant stress from their casting temperatures down to below the glass transition temperature. As such, these characteristics of bulk amorphous alloys can be utilized to exert a highly beneficial compressive stress on the ceramic core. Such beneficial compressive stress makes the ceramic core to defeat the projectiles much more effectively by delaying the formation of cracks in the ceramic material.
- the ceramic component will have a higher tensile strength and will be more effective in defeating the projectile as the projectile will spend more time (and energy) before it causes the ceramic component to develop cracks and fail.
- Torsile stresses are the cause of the premature failure in ceramic components since in general ceramics have higher strength in compression than in tension.
- This can allow the composite structure to defeat projectiles without any damage to the ceramic component and, therefore will allow the structure to take multiple hits.
- the compressive stresses on the ceramic component will be preserved due to the high elastic strain limit of amorphous alloy.
- the ceramic will be held in place securely and evenly in case some damage, in the form of cracks, develop in the ceramic component. Even though the effectiveness of the system will be reduced (in the case of formation of cracks in ceramic) , the compressive stresses will maintain the effectiveness of the ceramic for subsequent hits, and at the minimum will keep the un-cracked portion of ceramic in place to defeat the projectile and dissipate its energy.
- the compressive stresses are achieved by the differential thermal stresses generated through the different thermal expansion coefficients of the amorphous alloy and the ceramic material. Since ceramic materials have much lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the metallic alloys, the surrounding amorphous alloy will shrink more than the ceramic and apply a hydro-static compressive stresses. Accordingly, in one embodiment of the invention, the ceramic core is left under a compressive stress of 400 MPa or more and more preferably under a compressive stress of 800 MPa or more.
- the bonding at the interface of bulk-solidifying amorphous alloy and ceramic can take several forms.
- the interface has intimate contact mechanically, but not necessarily chemically (or metalurgically) .
- Such interfaces can be achieved with the below mentioned molding process.
- a chemically bonded interface can be achieved.
- Such above described melt- processing can be effectively utilized to form such interfaces.
- the very low melting temperatures of bulk- solidifying amorphous alloys makes it possible to utilize a time-temperature window to control the melt reactivity to form chemical bonds with minimal reaction products.
- Zr-Ti-base bulk-solidifying amorphous alloys have typical melting temperatures on the order of 650 °C to 850 °, much lower than ordinary high-strength Ti base alloys (-1,600 °C) . In such operations, it is desirable to heat the ceramic component to temperatures about the melt processing temperatures. In a casting process, to encapsulate the ceramic, time and temperature of casting parameters can be selected such that a chemical bond between the surrounding bulk amorphous alloy and ceramic core can be established. Zr-Ti base amorphous alloys are especially preferred for encapsulating ceramic components with chemically bonded interfaces.
- Zr-Ti base is defined as amorphous alloy composition having a total of Zr and Ti greater than 30 % atomic percentage .
- a feedstock of bulk amorphous alloy as a solid piece in the amorphous form is provided and heated to about glass transition temperature or above (route B in Figure 8). Subsequently, the bulk amorphous alloy, about the glass transition temperature or above, may be disposed so as to surround the ceramic core in a suitable molding and thermo-plastic process.
- molding operations can be utilized such as blow molding (clamping a portion of feedstock material and applying a pressure difference on opposite faces of the undamped area) , die-forming (forcing feedstock material into a die cavity) , and replication of surface features from a replicating die.
- the bulk amorphous alloy is preferably disposed to surround the ceramic core uniformly so that a layer having uniform thickness will be formed upon solidification of the molten alloy.
- the amount of bulk amorphous metal disposed around the ceramic core may be varied depending on the desired thickness of the layer.
- Such processes allow to form a very intimate mechanical contact between the ceramic and amorphous alloy, and as such provides a more effective constraint to the ceramic than other methods that do not involve such interface diffusion bonding.
- the feedstock of amorphous alloy can also be in powder form and during the molding operation the powder can be consolidated around the ceramic core.
- the mechanical properties of the bulk amorphous alloys and composites can be obtained in the as cast and/or molded form without any need for subsequent process such as heat treatment or mechanical working.
- the bulk amorphous alloys and their composites are formed into complex near-net shapes in the two-step process . In such an embodiment, the precision and near-net shape of casting and moldings is preserved.
