The effect of shock indentation on the formation and propagation of the Portevin-Le Chatelier deformation bands in an aluminum-magnesium alloy was studied experimentally using acoustic emission and high-speed video recording methods. Dynamic and nonlinear responses to shock indentation are revealed: the first include high values of dynamic hardness and local strain and loading rates, and the second - threshold and multiple nature of force and acoustic responses. It is shown that the bands of macrolocalized deformation represent a latent volumetric type of erosion damage, which reduces the mechanical stability and durability of the alloy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
