Introduction • Functional gradient material (FGM) is a new kind of nonhomogeneous composite • Mo(W)/Cu FGM combines the advantages of molybdenum and copper • Powder metallurgy and hot isostatic pressing etc are traditional fabrication techniques of Mo(W)/Cu functional gradient materials • Explosive consolidation provides a solution to fabricate high quality Mo/Cu FGM

Experiment and characterization • Design and fabrication of pre-compacted Mo/Cu FGM sample • The average particle sizes of Mo powder and Cu powder were 3 µm and 74 µm, respectively • The first layer contained only Mo with a thickness of 3 mm • The seventh layer contained only Cu with a thickness of 2 mm. • The other five gradient layers contained different ratios of Mo and Cu with a thickness of 1 mm for each layer. Composition of Mo/Cu FGM
Preheating by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) • Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis(SHS) reaction was required to proceed in a confined small space during explosive consolidation • A combined SHS system of (TiO2+Al+C) and (Fe2O3+ Al) were used to preheat the pre-compacted Mo/Cu FGM sample • The mass ratio of (TiO2+Al+C) to (Fe2O3+Al) is 60%: 40%~80%: 20%. • The pre-compacted Mo/Cu FGM sample can be preheated rapidly to 300℃~1000℃ in a small space by regulating the mass ratio of (TiO2+Al+C) to (Fe2O3+Al).
Experiment and characterization • Shock wave propagation and shock pressure measurement • The propagation and interaction of shock waves during explosive consolidation were studied with flash X-ray cineradiography • The shock pressures during the passage of shock waves were measured by manganin pressure gauges.
MODEL1200-type flash X-ray camera system of Swedish Scandiflash AB Company • Two space-time associated flash X-ray high-speed cameras • The angle between two camera axis was 30°~45°
The shock pressure histories at different locations during explosive consolidation • were recorded by the embedded manganin pressure gauges Results of shock wave peak pressures

Conclusions • The symmetry and planeness of the bidirectional shock waves generated by the explosive consolidation assembly are fairly good. • The pre-compacted Mo/Cu FGM sample can be preheated rapidly to 300℃~1000℃ in a confined small space by the exothermic reaction of self-propagating high temperature synthesis. • The average relative density in the consolidated FGM can reach 95% • For refractory molybdenum, plastic flow and volume diffusion mechanism may be dominant for the lack of liquid phase during sintering. • For copper rich layer, viscous flow may be the major sintering mechanism as its relatively low melting point and good plasticity.
