Research on the destroy characteristics of PTFE/Cu composite liner to explosive reactive armor

The jet generated through PTFE based inert material liner has the characteristics of low energy, low density, and large aspect ratio, which can effectively achieve the "penetration without explosion" of explosive reactive armor. PTFE/Cu composite material liner with various densities is prepared, to research the roles of preparation procedure and density in the destroy effect of jet on reactive armor. Through numerical simulation research, it was found that there was no reaction at all in the explosive layer penetrated by the jet generated by the sinter liner molded, while the explosive layer penetrated by the jet generated through the hot-pressing sintering and extrusion molding liner experienced local reactions on the jet impact channel, and the overall explosive layer did not undergo any reaction. Through experimental verification, it has been proven that all three types of jets have achieved "penetration without explosion" on explosive reactive armor.
