The present work deals with studies on the dynamic behavior of ultrafine grained AA2519 alloy synthesized via cryogenic forging (CF) and room temperature forging (RTF) techniques. A split-Hopkinson pressure bar was used to perform high strain rate tests on the processed samples and the microstructures of the samples were characterized before and after impact tests. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) maps demonstrated a significant grain size refinement from ~740 nm to ~250 nm as a result of cryogenic plastic deformation showing higher dislocation densities and stored strains in the CF sample when compared to the RTF sample. This microstructure modification caused the increase of dynamic flow stress in this alloy. In addition, the aluminum matrix of the CF alloy is more densely populated with fragmented particles than the RTF alloy due to the heavier plastic deformation applied to the cryogenically forged alloy. The results obtained from the stress–strain curve for the RTF sample showed intense thermomechanical instabilities in the RTF sample which led to a severe thermal softening and the subsequent sharp drop in the flow stress. However, no significant decrease was observed in the stress–strain curve of the CF alloys with ultrafine grains which means that thermal softening would probably not be the most effective failure mechanism. Furthermore, higher level of sensitivity of CF alloys to strain rates was observed which is ascribed to transition of rate-controlling plastic deformation mechanisms. In the post-mortem microstructure investigation, deformed and transformed adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) were identified on the RTF alloy when the strain rate is over 4000 s−1 at which it had experienced a significant thermal softening. On the other hand, circular path and aligned split arcs are the various shapes of the deformed ASB seen at no earlier than 4500 s−1 in the CF alloys. This is associated with the crack failure caused by grain boundary sliding.

Stress Strain

This paper presents an experimental study of the mechanical properties of brass at high strain rates. The brass tested is the copperzinc alpha-beta and beta two-phase alloy in the cold-worked state. Experiments were conducted using an extended tension split Hopkinson bar apparatus. It is found that, at lower strain rates, the stress-strain curve is smooth, exhibiting no well-defined yield stress, but at higher strain rates the stress-strain curve not only shows a well-defined yield stress but also displays a very pronounced drop in stress at yield. The flow stress is found to increase with increasing strain rate, but the increase is more significant for the yield stress than for the flow stress, showing that the yield stress is more sensitive to the strain rate than the flow stress away from the yield point. Based on the experimental results, empirical strain-rate-dependent constitutive equations are recommended. The suggested constitutive equations provide a reasonable estimate of the strain-rate-sensitive behaviour of materials.

Binary Morphology

Some results of an experimental study on high strain rate deformation of TC21 alloy are discussed in this paper. Cylindrical specimens of the TC21 alloys both in binary morphology and solution and aging morphology were subjected to high strain rate deformation by direct impact using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. The deformation process is dominated by both thermal softening effect and strain hardening effect under high strain rate loading. Thus the flow stress doesn’t increase with strain rate at the strain hardening stage, while the increase is obvious under qusi-static compression. Under high strain rate, the dynamic flow stress is higher than that under quasi-static and dynamic flow stress increase with the increase of the strain rate, which indicates the strain rate hardening effect is great in TC21 alloy. The microstructure affects the dynamic mechanical properties of TC21 titanium alloy obviously. Under high strain rate, the solution and aging morphology has higher dynamic flow stress while the binary morphology has better plasticity and less prone to be instability under high strain rate condition. Shear bands were found both in the solution and aging morphology and the binary morphology.

Increasing Temperature

In this paper, the mechanical behavior of a PMMA used as the windshield of aircraft was tested. The experiments were finished under two quasi-static strain rates and a high strain rate with the testing temperature from 299K to 373K. The results show that the mechanical property of this PMMA depends heavily on the testing temperature. The Young’s modulus and flow stress were found to decrease with increasing temperature at low strain rate. At the strain rate of 10-1 1/s, strain softening was observed under all experiment temperatures. At high strain rate, with the temperature increasing, the flow stress decreases remarkably while the failure strain increases, and the strain soften was also observed at the temperature above 333K. Comparing the experiments results at same temperature, it was found the flow stress increases with the rising strain rate. The predictions of the mechanical behavior using the ZWT theoretical model have a good agreement with experimental results in the strain range of 8%.
