Classic and symmetric Taylor impact Tungsten alloys

Abstract
Classic and symmetric Taylor tests were carried out on sintered Tungsten alloys in order to determine the failure modes, deformation
profiles and strain histories during impact. Two material types were considered ; one that exhibited brittle fracture, the
other more ductility. Impact velocities of 200 m/s were used in classic Taylor experiments and 300-370 m/s in the symmetric
Taylor experiments. It was found in symmetric experiments that the rods bent ; fracture strains of up to 7.5% were attained,
much higher than those found in quasi-static experiments. Both materials exhibited brittle intergranular fracture. Angled
impact faces were also considered.
