Abstract
A review was conducted of the literature covering the effects of ambient-temperature high energy rate forming (HERF) on the terminal characteristics of metals. Since the principal objective of the survey was to assess the influence of HERF relative to more conventional lower-rate forming processes, no investigations were included which dealt solely with properties after HERF. However, when full heat treatments were performed after HERF, comparison with unformed but heat-treated controls was considered valid. Microstructural features, hardness, strength, ductility, work hardening, fracture, fatigue, stress corrosion, and thermal response are treated. Some behavioral generalizations, causes for concern, and future needs are discussed.
