Static and Ballistic Bend Tests on an Experimental 2.5" Armor Plate

Abstract

A 2.5" plate of Ni Cr steel, aluminum killed, was supplied by the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Company in blocks which had undergone nine different heat treatments. These were subjected to low speed bend tests for size effect determination. Bend tests at ballistic speed were also carried out and one treatment was subjected to both high and low speed bend tests, in such a way that precracking work and postcracking work could be determined.
