Abstract

The characteristics and causes of the formation of adiabatic shear bands (ASB) in 30CrMnMo armor steel plate are analyzed by shooting 93W projectiles. The results show that adiabatic shear bands do not occur in the initial stages of the opening-crater and plugging. Adiabatic shear bands distributed sparsely appear in the stable penetrating phase because of the necessary strain volume. Adiabatic shear bands are formed along main shear stress lines at an angle of about 450 in relation to the penetrating direction. These are approximately consistent with the direction of the plastic deformation slip line. The non-homogenous deformation and centralizing of stress and strain inside the adiabatic shear band causes micro-cracks and micro-bores during cooling of the plate.
