Conclusions
-
1.
A change in the strain rate in the range from 6.3×10−3 to 1.9×103 sec−1 does not have a noticeable effect on the mechanical properties of steel. A further increase of\(\dot \varepsilon\) up to 1.9×104 sec−1 leads to an intensive increase in both the strength and plasticity properties.
-
2.
With increase in the strain rate the effect of oxide NI on the failure process decreases, which should be considered during development of technological processes for obtaining steel.
-
3.
The experimental results underscore the necessity to study the dynamic properties of construction materials in order to evaluate their serviceability under high rates of loading.
