Abstract
The dynamic behavior of pure titanium was studied in planar impact
experiments using a 25-mm pneumatic gun, at impact velocities of 150-550
m/sec. The sample free surface velocity was monitored by VISAR. Softly
recovered samples were characterized utilizing XRD, and optical, SEM and
TEM microscopy. Metallographic examination of the cross section areas of
the impacted samples revealed impact-oriented twins with significantly
lower concentration in the direct vicinity of the spall plane. TEM
studies revealed dense dislocation areas and twins in the samples, with
profound secondary twins and ordered dislocations cells near the spall
plane. The results allow estimating the relative contribution of
twinning mechanisms in shock-induced plastic deformation of titanium.
The differences in the morphology of the area near the spall plane, in
contrast to the rest of the sample, implies on alternative deformation
mechanisms depending on the loading history.
