ABSTRACT
Purpose. The purpose of this study is to review and systematize perspective structural composite materials used in the manufacturing of automotive components, as well as to analyze current trends in their further development.
The methods. The study employs the following research methods: theoretical methods (classification, systematization), analysis and synthesis of known scientific findings, empirical methods (comparison, observation), and experimental investigations (metallographic analysis, microhardnessand impact toughness testing).
Findings. An analysis of the current state, properties, advantages, and disadvantages of structural composite materials, as well as the challenges associated with their use in automotive components, has been carried out. The possibilities of producing composite metallic layered materials based on 12Х18Н10Т + 20 using explosive welding were investigated. The composite materials exhibit wavy interfaces between the layers. An increase in pressure at the detonation wave front leads to enhanced strengthening of the welded metals and a widening of the strengthened zone.
The originality. The study identifies key challenges and major trends in the development of structural metallic composite materials for automotive components. The justification for using composite metallic layered materials produced by explosive welding as high–fracture-toughness materials is presented. The wave parameters in welded joints and the characteristics of the impact toughness of composite materials obtained by explosion welding are experimentally investigated. The dependences of the wave parameters in welded joints and impact toughness on the parameters of the explosion welding modes are obtained.
Practical implementation. The use of composite metallic layered materials produced by explosive welding makes it possible to increase the fracture toughness of automotive components. The developed methodology for conducting experimental studies can be applied to the investigation of fracture toughness in both traditional structural materials and composite materials. The results obtained in this study may be used in the training of bachelor students specializing in J8 «Automotive Transport».
Keywords: composite materials, composite material manufacturing technologies, physical and mechanical properties, performance properties, automotive components.
