Shock compression and spall response of a twinning-induced plasticity steel: effects of peak stress and grain size
摘要
Twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steels have attracted considerable attention for their exceptional strength−ductility synergy, but their dynamic mechanical behavior and microstructural evolution under high-strain-rate loading remain poorly understood. This work investigates shock response and spall damage of a TWIP steel, 20Mn23AlV, via plate impact experiments. The individual effects of peak stress and grain size are systematically examined. The Hugoniot equation of state is obtained for peak shock stress up to 36 GPa. This steel exhibits better spall strength (2.7−3.1 GPa) compared to most other ductile steels. Spall strength increases with increasing peak stress, but is weakly dependent on grain size (7−171
