چکیده

Adiabatic shear localization is studied in two ferrous metals, Remco Iron, a high purity alpha iron, and 4340 steel, quenched and tempered at 650°C. Punching-shear experiments are performed in a compressive split-Hopkinson bar producing shear strain rates of 45,000 s-'. Optical and scanning electron microscopy was performed on the deformed shear specimens to determine the extent of shear localization and mode of failure. Experimental evidence showed that the 4340 steels were susceptible to localization through adiabatic shear banding, however, the Remco iron did not exhibit fine shear bands typical of localization. Finite element simulations of the experiments were performed utilizing a user material subroutine developed as part of this research. This constitutive routine incorporates two adiabatic shear failure criteria: (i) maximum shear stress and (ii) flow localization theory. These criteria proved to be capable of predicting the onset of an instability, however, the deformation which follows the instability was only moderately predicted well. Rbum6.

Des essais de cisaillement par poinconnage ont ttC effectuts avec un systeme de banes Hopkinson de type compression produisant des taux de dtformation par cisaillement de I'ordre de 45,000 s-'.

Adiabatic Shear in annealed and shock - hardened iron and in quenched and tempered 4340 steel

Adiabatic shear localization is a catastrophic failure mechanism which can occur in ductile metals under high strain rate loading. This mechanism is driven by a thermal instability process in which rapid temperature rise due to plastic work couples with thermal softening to cause uniform deformation to collapse into narrow bands of intense shear within which material ductility is exhausted. Adi...
