Abstract
Dynamic deformation of metals in the elevated strain rate interval of elastic-plastic wave propagation is relevant to technological conditions, such as structural response to impact, ballistic effects, and metal forming processes. In the present work, the work hardening of quasi-static and dynamically deformed copper using a split pressure bar was evaluated for two different grain sizes. From slip lines observations in conditions of both dynamic and quasi-static strain rates, as well as an insensitivity to grain size of the yield stress, it is suggested that copper behave like a single crystal under dynamic deformation. It is shown, for the first time, that the work hardening rate during dynamic deformation of polycrystalline copper remains higher up to the fracture.
