Localised shear banding in Weldox steel plates impacted by projectiles
Abstract
Results from metallurgical investigations of Weldox 460 E, 700 E and 900 E steel plates impacted by hardened steel projectiles are presented. The strength is considerable higher for Weldox 700 E and 900 E than for Weldox 460 E, while the opposite is true regarding ductility. Penetration tests on the different alloys using blunt projectiles have shown that the ballistic limit velocity decreases with increasing yield strength, while in similar …
