STRENGTHENING IRON-BASE ALLOYS BY SHOCK WAVES.

Abstract

A study was conducted to obtain information on the mechanisms of strengthening produced in iron-base alloys by high-pressure shock waves. Three types of alloys were studied: (1) steels normally hardened by cold work, (2) steels normally hardened by heat treatment, and (3) austenitic steels. Principal investigative techniques employed were transmission electron microscopy and hardness measurements. These alloys were subjected to explosive shock loading at 158 and 283 kilobars.
