This study uses the torsional split-Hopkinson bar to investigate the dynamic shear deformation and fracture behaviour of Ti–6Al–4V alloy under strain rates of 1800, 2300, and 2800 s−1 at temperatures ranging from −100 to 300 °C. It is found that both the strain rate and the temperature have a strong influence on the dynamic shear properties and fracture characteristics of the alloy. An increased strain rate and a reduced temperature cause the strain rate sensitivity to increase and the activation volume to decrease. However, the activation energy increases with decreasing shear stress and is found to attain a maximum value of 15 kJ/ mol under the current test conditions. The failure of the tested alloy is dominated by the formation of an adiabatic shear band. The characteristics of the adiabatic shear band and the fracture surface depend significantly on both the strain rate and the temperature.

Ultra-fine-grained (UFG)/Nanocrystalline (NC) materials usually show reduced strain hardening and limited ductility due to formation of adiabatic shear band (ASB) under dynamic loading. In the present study, evolution of ASB in UFG Fe under dynamic shear loading was investigated. The UFG Fe was processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) via route Bc. After 6 passes, the grain size of UFG Fe reaches ~ 600 nm, as confirmed by means of Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD). Examination of micro-hardness and grain size of UFG Fe as a function of post-ECAP annealing temperature shows a transition from recovery to recrystallization at 500 0C. The high-strain-rate response of UFG Fe was characterized by hat-shaped specimen set-ups in Hopkinson bar experiments. The characteristics of ASB as a function of shear displacement, such as thickness of shear band and micro-hardness inside the shear band, were examined by SEM and Vickers micro-indentation respectively.

The adiabatic shear, which may produce serrated chip, usually occurs for a large number of materials in high speed machining. Adiabatic shear band is an important damage model for metals under high-velocity deformation process. The damage evolution of micro-voids in adiabatic shear bands resulted in material fracture finally. Now the thermal softening effect, the strain rate harding effect and the strain harding effect have been discussed extensively in literature, but there is very little research on its damage effect. Based on the experiments of predecessors, this paper presents a new damage evolution equation that is dependent on strain, strain rate and is suitable for the description of voids damage evolution in adiabatic shear band. The corresponding rate-dependent constitutive relation taking account of damage evolution and temperature are proposed. The predicted results are in good agreement with the experiment datum.

Dynamic shearing high strain-rate experiments on three types of titanium alloy have been carried out by using a modified split Hopkinson bar. Microstructure and mechanism for grains refining in adiabatic shear band formed under the condition of high strain-rate were investigated by means of optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). It is shown that the mechanisms for grains refining in adiabatic shear band of titanium alloy mostly consist of three sorts. They are the mechanism of breakdown of elongated grains which due to action of dislocations,and the mechanism of rupture of twins and the mechanism of dynamic recrystallization, respectively. The mechanism of dynamic recrystallization is the universal one for grains refining in adiabatic shear band of titanium alloy. The formation of refining grains is usually a result of combined action of several sorts of mechanisms.
