Abstract

Tantalum and tantalum alloys have become core functional materials of space radiation-resistant layered composite structures due to their high atomic number, excellent radiation resistance and good mechanical stability. However, due to the problems of high density and high cost, it is difficult to meet the ultimate pursuit of radiation resistance and lightweight spacecraft. In view of the above problems, scholars at home and abroad have conducted a series of studies on the layered composite structure of tantalum alloys and achieved remarkable results. This paper reviews the current progress of space radiation-resistant tantalum alloy layered composites preparation and forming technology at home and abroad, including rolling composite technology, explosive composite technology, diffusion composite technology, hot isostatic pressing technology, additive manufacturing technology, surface coating and interface strengthening technology. Finally, the research progress of space radiation-resistant tantalum alloy layered composites preparation and forming technology is summarized and prospected, aiming to provide references for promoting the rapid development of space radiation-resistant tantalum alloy layered composites preparation and forming technology in China.
