Quasi-Static Compression and Tensile Stress-Strain Curves, Tantalum - 10% Tungsten and 300 Grade Maraging Steel

Abstract

The results of quasi-static compression and tension tests of tantalum -10% tungsten alloy and Vascomax 300 CVM 300 trade maraging steel are presented. Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and yield strength and ultimate strength were determined at test temperatures of 23.9 C. Results provide engineering properties documentation for materials used in several terminal ballistic tests.
