ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF EXPLOSIVELY WORK-HARDENED STEELS

Abstract

An experimental study is discussed in which permanent changes were produced in the engineering properties of 4 annealed steels (1015, 1030, 1050, and 4130) by means of contact explosive charges of different thicknesses. Quantitative data is presented for explosively induced changes in proportional limit, yield strength, ultimate strength, fracture strength, elongation, and toughness for the 4 steels as related to charge thickness and distance from the metal-explosive interfaces.
