Abstract

Transmission electron microscopy is used to study and analyze the twin and dislocation structures of commercial-purity uranium samples in the initial (undeformed) state and after severe deformation induced by shock loading by plane waves with various intensities. As the shock loading intensity increases, the density of chaotically distributed dislocations and twins first increases, and, then, polygonization processes develop and result in a subgrain structure. Crystallographic analysis of the initial and deformation twins in uranium reveals predominant twins of the compound type {130} and rare {172} and {176} second-type twins.
