The mechanical response and deformation mechanisms of TB17 titanium alloy were studied at room temperature by the split-Hopkinson pressure bar test. The ultimate compression strength increases from 1050 MPa to 1400 MPa, as the strain rate increases from 2000 s−1 to 2800 s−1. The adiabatic shear failure occurred at strain rate 2800 s−1. When the strain rate was 2000 s−1, only {10 9 3}<331>β type II high index deformation twins, a small number of α” martensite, and interfacial ω phase were detected. When the strain rate was 2400 s−1 and above, multiple deformation mechanisms, including the primary {10 9 3}<331>β type II high index deformation twins, secondary {332}<113>β deformation twins, and α” martensite were identified. The deformation mechanism changes from primary deformation twins and α” martensite to multiple deformation mechanisms (primary and secondary deformation structure) with the increase of strain rates.

As a model material, commercial pure titanium was rolled to plates with different dislocation boundaries. The dynamic mechanical response of Ti specimen was analyzed during impacted with Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) at different strain rates, and microstructure evolution was investigated using optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. It was found that adiabatic shear sensitivity was decreased with increasing strain rates for all as-annealed, 25% and 50% cold rolled states. To the contrary, for 70% cold rolled state the adiabatic shear sensitivity was increased with increasing strain rates. The microstructure of adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) were developed from elongation morphology to fine equiaxed grains in the specimens of 25% cold rolled state, and ASBs became broader with increasing strain rate.

Abstract The compression behavior of a naturally occurring porous and heterogeneous biocomposite, balsa wood, along the grain direction is investigated at strain rates 10−3 to 104 s−1. Specimens with different densities, ranging from 55 to 380 kg/m3, were loaded by a modified Kolsky (split Hopkinson) pressure bar apparatus at varying high strain rates and by a screw-driven testing machine at quasi-static strain rates. The mechanical response of balsa wood is documented and the variation of compressive strength, crushing stress and densification strain as a function of density and strain rate is presented. Results show that characteristics of mechanical response for balsa wood are significantly affected by the strain rate and density.

Metal matrix composites with ceramic reinforcements such as particles or fibers have come into focus during the past decades due to rising requirements on engineering materials. In this work, composite materials out of high-alloy CrMnNi-steel matrices with varying Ni-contents (3 wt.% and 9 wt.%) and 10 vol.% Mg-PSZ were processed by hot-pressing. The variation in Ni-content resulted in a change in stacking fault energy (SFE) which significantly influenced the deformation mechanisms. The mechanical behavior of the developed composites was investigated in a wide strain rate range between 0.0004 s-1 and 2300 s-1 under compressive loading. This was done by a servohydraulic testing system, a drop weight tower, and a Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar for the high strain rates. To study the influence on the deformation mechanisms such as martensitic transformations and/or twinning, interrupted tests were also carried out at 25 % compressive strain. Subsequent microstructural examinations were done by a magnetic balance to measure the quantity of α’-martensite as well as by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show an increase of strength and strain hardening with decreasing SFE of the matrix due to increased α’-martensite formation. The addition of the Mg-PSZ particles resulted in further strengthening over almost the entire deformation range for all investigated composites. At high strain rates quasi-adiabatic heating suppressed the martensite transformation and reduced the strain hardening capacity of the matrix. Nonetheless the particle reinforcement retains its strengthening effect.

Compressive deformation behaviour of additively manufactured lattice structures based on re-entrant tetrakaidecahedral unit-cell geometry were experimentally investigated under quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions. Specimens of four different structures formed by three-dimensional periodical assembly of selected unit-cells were produced by a laser powder bed fusion technique from a powdered austenitic stainless steel SS316L. Quasi-static compression as well as dynamic tests using split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) apparatus at two strain-rates were conducted to evaluate the expected strain-rate sensitivity of the fundamental mechanical response of the structures. To evaluate the experiments, particularly the displacement fields of the deforming lattices, optical observation of the specimens using a high-resolution camera (quasi-static loading) and two synchronised high-speed cameras (SHPB experiments) was employed. An in-house digital image correlation algorithm was used in order to evaluate the anticipated auxetic nature of the investigated lattices. It was found that neither of the investigated structures exhibited auxetic behaviour although strain-rate sensitivity of the stress–strain characteristics was clearly identified for the majority of structures.

The dynamic deformation behavior of an as-extruded Mg-Gd-Y magnesium alloy was studied by using Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus under high strain rates of 102 s-1 to 103s-1 in the present work, in the mean while the microstructure evolution after deformation were inspected by OM and SEM. The results demonstrated that the material is not sensitive to the strain rate and with increasing the strain rate the yield stress of as-extruded Mg-Gd-Y magnesium alloy has a tendency of increasing. The microstructure observation results shown that several deformation localization areas with the width of 10mm formed in the strain rates of 465s-1 and 2140s-1 along the compression axis respectively, and the grain boundaries within the deformation localization area are parallel with each other and are perpendicular to the compression axis. While increasing the strain rate to 3767s-1 the deformation seems become uniform and all the grains are compressed flat in somewhat. The deformation mechanism of as-extruded Mg-Gd-Y magnesium alloy under high strain rate at room temperature was also discussed.

Additive manufacturing by Selective Laser Melting of metals is attracting substantial attention, due to its advantages, such as short-time production of customized structures. This technique is useful for building complex components using a metallic pre-alloyed powder. One of the most used materials in AMSLM is AlSi10Mg powder. Additively manufactured AlSi10Mg may be used as a structural material and it static mechanical properties were widely investigated. Properties in the strain rates of 5×102–1.6×103 s-1 and at higher strain rates of 5×103 –105 s-1 have been also reported. The aim of this study is investigation of dynamic properties in the 7×102–8×103 s-1 strain rate range, using the split Hopkinson pressure bar technique. It was found that the dynamic properties at strain-rates of 1×103–3×103 s-1 depend on a build direction and affected by heat treatment. At higher and lower strain-rates the effect of build direction is limited. The anisotropic nature of the material was determined by the ellipticity of samples after the SHPB test. No strain rate sensitivity was observed.

Abstract In this study, hot deformation behavior of SP-700 titanium alloy was investigated by hot compression tests in the temperature range of 700-9508C and at strain rates of 0.001, 0.1, and 1 s-1. Final mechanical properties of the alloy (hot compressed at different strain rates and temperatures) were investigated using a shear punch testing method at room temperature. The flow curves of the alloy indicated that the yield point phenomenon occurs in the temperature range of 800- 9508C and strain rates of 0.1 and 1 s-1. The microstructural analysis showed that dynamic globularization of the lamellar α phase starts at 7008C and completes at 8008C. The alpha phase was completely eliminated from b matrix due to deformation- induced transformation at 8508C. The microstructure of specimens compressed at 8508C and strain rates of 0.001 and 0.1 s-1showed the serration of beta grain boundaries, whereas partial dynamic recrystallization caused a necklace structure by increasing strain rate up to 1 s-1. The specimen deformed at 7008C and strain rate of 1 s-1was located in the instability region and localized shear bands formed due to the low thermal conductivity of the alloy. The processing map of the alloy exhibited a peak efficiency domain of 54% in the temperature range of 780-8108C and strain rates of 0.001- 0.008 s-1. The hot deformation activation energy of the alloy in the α/β region (305.5 kJ mol-1) was higher than that in the single-phase β region (165.2 kJ mol-1) due to the dynamic globularization of the lamellar a phase.

This work compares the pure copper (T2 copper)’s stress-strain relationship at different strain rates in the uni-axial tension test and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) test. Small samples were utilized in the high strain rate SHPB test in which the accuracy was modified by numerical simulation. The experimental results showed that the T2 copper’s yield strength at high strain rates largely outweighed the quasi static yield strength. The flow stress in the stress-strain curves at different strain rates appeared to be divergent and increased with the increase in strain rates, showing great strain strengthening and strain rate hardening effects. Metallographic observation showed that the microstructure of T2 copper changed from equiaxed grains to twins and the interaction between the dislocation slip zone grain boundary and twins promoted the super plasticity distortion in T2 copper.

The influence of titanium element, strain rate and tested temperatures on the mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics will be investigated in this paper. These cobalt-based superalloys are tested using material testing system (MTS) at strain rates of 10−3, 10−2 and 10−1 s−1 and at temperatures of 700, 500 and 25° C, respectively. It is found that the flow stress increases with increasing strain rate and Ti, but decreases with increasing temperature. Furthermore, the strain rate sensitivity increases with increasing strain rate, but decreases with increasing temperature. The microstructural observations confirm that the mechanical response of the cobalt superalloy specimens is directly related to the effects of the titanium contents, strain rate and temperature on the evolution of the microstructure. It can be observed that the strengthening effect in cobalt-based superalloys is a result primarily of dislocation multiplication. The dislocation density increases with increasing strain rate, but decreases with increasing temperature.

A study was undertaken on the compressive high strain rate properties and deformation behaviour of Direct Metal Laser-Sintered (DMLS) Ti6Al4V (ELI) parts in two separate forms: as-built (AB) and stress relieved (SR). The high strain rate compression tests were carried out using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar test system at ambient temperature. The average plastic strain rates attained by the system were 400 s−1 and 700 s−1. Comparative analyses of the performance (flow stresses and fracture strains) of AB and SR specimens were carried out based on the results obtained at these two plastic strain rates. Microstructural analyses were performed to study the failure mechanisms of the deformed specimens and fracture surfaces. Vickers microhardness test values were obtained before and after high strain rate compression testing. The results obtained in both cases showed the strain rate sensitivity of the stress-relieved samples to be higher in comparison to those of as-built ones, at the same value of true strain.
