Abstract:

Four materials OFHC copper, aluminum-copper eutectic 8.3 wt Al alloy, lead-tin eutectic and aluminum-zinc eutectoid .78 wt zinc were tested in three different tests at a range of loading rates. The first constrained at the base. The second test was a closed die extrusion of a cylindrical specimen. The third test was the impact of an unconstrained cylindrical specimen between flat-faced cylindrical rams. The peak loading rate from .006 ftsec to 650 ftsec.
