The microstructural evolution inside adiabatic shear bands in Fe–Cr–Ni alloys dynamically deformed (strain rates > 104 s−1) by the collapse of an explosively driven, thick-walled cylinder under prescribed strain conditions was examined by electron backscatter diffraction. The observed structure within the bands consisted of both equiaxed and elongated grains with a size of ∼200 nm. These fine microstructures can be attributed to recrystallization; it is proposed that the elongated grains may be developed simultaneously with localized deformation (dynamic recrystallization), and the equiaxed grains may be formed subsequently to deformation (static recrystallization). These recrystallized structures can be explained by a rotational recrystallization mechanism.

Adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) develop generally during high strain rates. This paper investigates the transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) effect during ASBs formation at high strain rates in high manganese TRIP steels containing initial austenite and ferrite by EBSD technique. Results show that TRIP effect takes place mainly before the formation of ASBs. After ASBs formation, TRIP effect is strongly restricted by the size effect, the increase of stacking fault energy (SFE) and even inverse martensitic transformation due to the rise of temperature. The TRIP effect before ASBs formation contributes to the resistance of adiabatic shear failure. Dynamic recrystallization driven by subgrains rotation occurs within ASBs, and ultrafine grains often show strong shear textures with twin relationship owing to slip mechanism.

For analysis of engineering structural materials to withstand harsh environmental conditions, accurate knowledge of properties such as flow stress and failure over conditions of high strain rate and temperature plays an essential role. Such properties of additively manufactured Ti6Al4V(ELI) are not adequately studied. This paper documents an investigation of the high strain rate and temperature properties of different forms of heat-treated Ti6Al4V(ELI) samples produced by the direct metal laser sintering (DMLS). The microstructure and texture of the heat-treated samples were analysed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an electron backscatter diffraction detector for electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis. The split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) equipment was used to carry out tests at strain rates of 750, 1500 and 2450 s−1, and temperatures of 25, 200 and 500 °C. The heat-treated samples of DMLS Ti6Al4V(ELI) alloys tested here were found to be sensitive to strain rate and temperature. At most strain rates and temperatures, the samples with finer microstructure exhibited higher dynamic strength and lower strain, while the dynamic strength and strain were lower and higher, respectively, for samples with coarse microstructure. The cut surfaces of the samples tested were characterised by a network of well-formed adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) with cracks propagating along them. The thickness of these ASBs varied with the strain rate, temperature, and various alloy forms.
