Deformed microstructure of the adiabatic shear bands in zirconium alloy impacted by split Hopkinson pressure bar at a strain rate of about 2300 s-1 was characterized systemically. Four different strains of zirconium alloy subjected to impact loading at same strain rate were designed by means of strain stopper rings. At a strain of 0.30, the transformed bands were distinguished at the tip of crack. The transformed bands mainly composed of the ultrafine and equiaxed grains with the mean diameter of about 100~300 nm were found by a dual beam FIB/TEM system. Besides ultrafine grains in the transformed bands, nanometer fine grain was observed and confirmed by HRTEM. Thus, the transformed bands mainly composed of the mixed microstructure including nanometer and ultrafine grains were confirmed, and n phase transformation and amorphization in transformed bands take place.

A Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar system was employed to investigate the compressive dynamic mechanical behaviors of Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al (Ti-1023) alloy with lamellar microstructure, over a broad strain rates ranging from 1500/s to 5100/s. The results reveal that the strain rate has a significant effect on the flow stress of Ti-1023 alloy, and there exists serious thermal softening as the strain rate exceeds 3200/s. The critical strain rate of fracture for this alloy is 2300/s. The microstructure examination indicated that adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) bifurcate more intensely with the increasing of strain rate. Micro-voids nucleate either in the ASB or interface between shear band and matrix bulk. Finally, fracture of this alloy proceeds through the nucleation, growth and coalescence of these voids and cracks along the ASBs.

Deformation and fracture behaviors of Ti-6Al-4V-0.1B alloy with Widmanstätten, equiaxed and bimodal microstructures were investigated by Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) under high strain rates of 2100-3200 s-1. The results showed that the equiaxed and bimodal structures had a higher bearing capacity at high strain rates than that of the Widmanstätten structure. With the same microstructure, the increase of strain rate gave rise to an improved uniform plastic deformation. According to an observation on the deformed microstructure, it was found that adiabatic shear behavior was the main reason for failure and fracture of the alloy. The formation and propagation of adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) was the precursor for the failure and fracture of the material. Cavities at the interface between TiB phase and the matrix readily formed due to the uncoordinated deformation, which are not the dominate reason for the failure and fracture.

The evolution process of a high strength steel which subjected with three different heat treatment proceedings and gets different quasi-static tensile properties was investigated in this paper. To precisely control the plastic deformation of the cylinder and capture the development process of adiabatic shear bands, stopper ring was used in Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB). Combining the stress-strain curves and microstructures after SHPB tests, the microstructure evolution from the nucleation of adiabatic shear bands to fracture of the cylindrical steel were observed. The experimental results have demonstrated that there are similar fracture procedures of the steel treated through different heat treatments. Shear bands form firstly, then micro-cracks develop from shear bands, and lead to macro-crack finally. However, the critical strains for nucleation of ASBs and the time spending on the fracture procedure of the steel treated at different heat treatments are different. Samples treated at 900°C/AC exhibit the best resistance to adiabatic shear sensitivity when compressed under high strain rates.

In the present work, the localized features of adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) of our recently designed damage tolerance α+β dual-phase Ti alloy are investigated by the integration of electron backscattering diffraction and experimental and theoretical Schmid factor analysis. At the strain rate of 1.8 × 104 s−1 induced by a split Hopkinson pressure bar, the shear stress reaches a maximum of 1951 MPa with the shear strain of 1.27. It is found that the α+β dual-phase colony structures mediate the extensive plastic deformations along α/β phase boundaries, contributing to the formations of ASBs, microvoids, and cracks, and resulting in stable and unstable softening behaviors. Moreover, the dynamic recrystallization yields the dispersion of a great amount of fine α grains along the shearing paths and in the ASBs, promoting the softening and shear localization. On the contrary, low-angle grain boundaries present good resistance to the formation of cracks and the thermal softening, while the non-basal slipping dramatically contributes to the strain hardening, supporting the promising approaches to fabricate the advanced damage tolerance dual-phase Ti alloy.
