Abstract
The constitutive behavior of fully dense and porous Ti-6Al-4V at high rates of deformation is investigated using a Kolsky compression bar : stress-strain curves are obtained for homogeneous compressive deformations at strain rates between 102-104s-1. In addition to the high rate testing, the behavior of the fully dense and porous materials in quasistatic compression is obtained. The porous metal does show a higher degree of strain hardening at both low and high rates due to the compressibility of the pores.
