Change in the Structure and the Properties of Cylindrical Alloy AMg6 Shells in Loading by Glancing Detonation Waves

Abstract

The structural evolution in the cylindrical shells made of an AMg6 alloy and loaded by glancing detonation at two different intensities is studied. At a weak action of a detonation wave, the shells are shown not to collapse and only an initial stage of convergence is detected. The shell material is found to be hardened during high-rate deformation. Structural investigations demonstrate that the detonation wave intensity affects the rheology of the deformation behavior of the AMg6 alloy.
