Influence of prefabricated microcracks on dynamic deformation behavior and shear fracture of tungsten alloy
In this paper,the static and dynamic mechanical behaviors of 91W-6.3Ni-2.7Fe (91W) alloy with prefabricated microcracks caused by hot rotary forging were studied.The results show that,there is no significant deformation of tungsten particles after rotational forging deformation,and about 10% of tungsten particles have prefabricated microcracks.The tensile yield strength of the alloy is 1.3 GPa and the elongation is 6.5%.The compressive yield strength is 1.4 GPa,the compressive plasticity is 45%.Under high speed impact conditions,the alloy strength is about 2 GPa,and a significant adiabatic shear band is formed at strain rate of 3000 s-1.It is found that the prefabricated microcracks in the alloy promote the crack propagation in the adiabatic shear band,which makes the alloy produce adiabatic shear failure under small strain,thus improving the self-sharpening of the alloy.In addition,the JC constitutive model of 91W alloy with prefabricated microcracks is established,which can accurately predict the stress state of 91W alloy under high-speed impact.
