BackgroundExtreme application conditions frequently consist of environments involving one or more of the following factors: very high (or low) temperatures, irradiation, corrosive medium exposure, elevated stresses, and high-strain-rate loading. Due to challenges in replicating environments where more than one factor is present, experiments typically are restricted to investigating a single environmental condition.ObjectiveThe objective of the efforts outlined herein is to demonstrate the precisely-controlled high-rate heating of a variety of metallic material systems up to one-half their melting temperature within a Tension Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar (TSHPB).MethodsSpecific materials investigated include Ti-6Al-4V, Inconel 718, and Magnesium alloy AZ31B. The adopted method integrates a duty-cycle controlled Joule heating system with a TSHPB system.ResultsAccurate and repeatable heating profiles (i.e., within°C of the desired temperature up to 725 °C) allow testing without direct temperature monitoring. Combined, the Joule heating system and TSHPB provide an experimental setup capable of strain-rates up to, a heating system that can produce currents up to, resulting in material-specific heating rates exceeding. Constraining heating times to a few seconds limits microstructural changes, thereby suppressing annealing or grain growth processes, resulting in unique, non-equilibrium superheated microstructure states.ConclusionThe presented system enables the study of elevated temperature high-strain-rate material behavior, which is relevant to improving understanding of material behavior during high-speed machining, forging, high-velocity vehicle crashes, protection system response to impacts and blast, as well as nuclear energy applications.
