Preparing aluminum cingulum array load for Z-pinch

For Z-pinch physical experiment, aluminum cingulum array loads with self-accommodating structure were designed. The cutting technology for aluminum foil was researched by handiwork and laser. The figure and mechanical performance of aluminum cingulum that was cut from aluminum foil were characterized, and the aluminum cingulums that was cut by laser were suitable for aluminum cingulum array loads. The mechanical performance of aluminum cingulum cut by laser was characterized. For a 30 mm1 mm5 m aluminum cingulum, the tensile strength was about 116 cN and the elongation was about 1.3%. Aluminum cingulum array loads with self-accommodating structure were prepared using the aluminum cingulum cut by laser, and the self-accommodating quantity was up to 4.5 mm which could meet the need of Qiangguang-Ⅰ facility physical experiment.
