? 2022Multi-element intermetallic energetic structural materials (ESMs) can be applied as reactive fragment, reactive shell and reactive shaped charge. As typical of intermetallics ESMs, Ni-Al ESMs have been heavily studied. However, the low density limits its application. This work proposed to improve the performance of Ni-Al ESMs by adding Ta. The nearly fully dense Ta-Ni-Al ESMs with a molar ratio 4:3:3 was successfully fabricated by explosive consolidation. The density was high up to 10.52 g/cm3 (98.3% theoretical maximum density). The heat treatment was used to further improve the performance of the Ta-Ni-Al ESMs. The microstructure characteristics were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope. The mechanical properties, reaction and impact-induced energy release have been systematically studied. Firstly, quasi-static and dynamic compression tests were conducted to analyze the mechanical properties of the sample before and after heat treatment. Secondly, the reaction characteristics in different atmospheres were discussed by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The effect of the additive Ta was concerned. Furthermore, Impact-induced energy release tests on the Ta-Ni-Al ESMs were performed to understand the energy release properties. Based on these tests, the characterization of Ta-Ni-Al ESMs fabricated by explosive consolidation was obtained. There was no intermetallic formed in explosive consolidated samples. After the heat treatment, Ta-Ni-Al ESMs have good plasticity and strain rate effect. Meanwhile, under high impact velocity, the impact-induced energy release capability of Ta-Ni-Al ESMs was equivalent to Ni-Al ESMs.
