| Abstract Scope |
Strain rate sensitivity is an important property to consider when designing new parts or trying to select an alloy for an application. As with most material properties, strain rate sensitivity varies with orientation, composition, and processing methods. With the current research pushes towards stronger, high-temperature materials, the strain rate sensitivity of refractory alloys has become much more relevant. Recent strain rate sensitivity work has focused on correlating macroscopic techniques with instrumented indentation. Some materials’ rate dependency correlates well between the two size scales, while others do not. The challenges and advantages with using instrumented indentation to measure strain rate sensitivity will be discussed. |
