Title: Dependence of dynamic fracture resistance on crack velocity in tungsten: Pt. 1. Single crystals

Journal Article · · Metall. Trans., A; (United States)
OSTI ID:5106665

The dependence of dynamic fracture resistance on crack propagation velocity on (100) in tungsten has been examined. A correlation is obtained between the measured local crack velocity with the surfac and subsurface deformations. Based on the experimental results on one pass, two passes, and prestrained, electron beam zone refined single crystals, a discussion is given on the slip modes activated at the crack tip, the contributions to the dynamic fracture resistance from dislocations and surface features and from the preexisting deformed microstructure.
