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.
