Abstract

The dynamic elastic limit and spall strength of high-alloy chromium-manganese-nickel steel in the martensitic-austenitic transformation induced by a change in the temperature from −120 to 200°C is measured by recording the complete wave profiles with a VISAR laser interferometer and subsequently analyzing them. The spall strength of the investigated steel in the martensitic phase is found to be 25–30% higher than the strength of steel in the austenitic phase. In this case, the strength decreases in a stepwise manner in a narrow temperature range approximately from −50 to 20°C, where, apparently, basic changes in the internal structure of steel occur due to the martensitic-austenitic transformation. The measured values of the dynamic elastic limit of high-alloy steel have a sufficiently large scatter and hardly decrease with increasing temperature without any features associated with the martensitic-austenitic transformation of the structure.
