Chemical transformations in the zone of spall damageability

Аннотация

The results of experiments on studying the perlite–ferrite structure in steels under short-term negative pressures are described. It is shown that in the localized deformation bands formed in the zone of interference of unloading waves, where the tension stress is lower than the dynamic strength of the material, the cementite bands in perlite are crushed, their fragments are in part dissolved and enriched with carbon, and the cementite can pass into a steady spherical form on the boundary with ferrite. At relatively high shock-wave amplitudes, the perlite in its entirety acquires a spheroidal shape.
