Abstract
Shock-hardened polycrystalline copper was subjected to high strains (γ ∼ 5) at high strain rates (γ' ∼ 104 s-1) using a stepped specimen in a Hopkinson bar. Microstructural analysis by transmission electron microscopy revealed that the highly deformed region consisted of very small grains (∼ 0.1 µm) with a low dislocation density. These results are discussed in terms of dynamic recrystallization, which is enabled by the adiabatic temperatures rise associated with plastic deformation. This dramatic microstructural refinement enables a thermomechanical response that may lead to a stable plastic deformation in tension.
