Evaluation of the sizes of the zone of plastic strain of high-toughness materials after dynamic tests by the method of systematic measurement of microhardness

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

A method for evaluating the sizes and determining the shape of the zone of plastic strain of high-toughness structural steels using the results of systematic automated measurement of microhardness is developed. Techniques allowing for anomalies in the measurement of microhardness in the zone of plastic strain and in the zone of unstrained (matrix) material are suggested. Special features of formation of the studied zone in the region of the start of dynamic crack are described. The dependence of the sizes of the zone of plastic strain on the tempering temperature is determined.
