Mechanical Testing of Metals at High Temperatures and Short-Term Loading,

Methods of mechanical metal testing at high temperatures and short-term loading and the influence of temperature and deformation rates on deformation resistance, hardenability, and plasticity are discussed. Data on machines used for testing, loading, registering deformation parameters, and methods of preparing, conducting, and processing test results are presented. The mechanical properties of a series of metals obtained by the methods reviewed, which may be useful for technical calculations, are included.
