OSTI ID:6230940
Systematic shock recovery experiments have been performed on 6061-T6 Al shocked to pressures of 2, 8, and 13 GPa for 1 second pulse durations. Compression samples EDM machined from the recovered samples show that the mechanical behavior of 6061-T6 saturates rapidly under shock loading. Electron microscope examination reveals a random high dislocation density substructure, different from that observed in other shock-loaded aluminum alloys. Substructure evolution and mechanical response are discussed in light of the influence of strengthening mechanisms and shock recovery techniques.
