Deformation and failure mechanism in AISI 4340 steel under ballistic impact
Abstract
Deformation and failure mechanism in quench-hardened AISI 4340 steel under ballistic impact is investigated. The influence of microstructure on damage evolution is also evaluated. Strain localization and shear failure along adiabatic shear bands are the dominant deformation and failure mechanisms. The time and critical strain for the commencement of strain localization is influenced by strain rate and microstructure. The microstructure of the …
