Effect of Controlled Rolling on the Crystallographic Texture and the Mechanical and Ballistic Properties of Steel Armor Plates
Abstract
The scope of the present research included two parts: (1) to further strengthen the (112)+(111) texture in the 5Ni steel (actually a medium-carbon 5Ni-Si-Cu-Mo-V steel) armor by introducing modifications to the previously employed hot-rolling process, and to provide latitude in production of this superior textured armor plate; (2) to investigate the crystallographic texture formation in an austenitic steel system (such as the A-286 alloy) so that textures other than those formed in quenched-and-tempered martensite can be produced and their effects on properties can be studied.
