Influence of high-velocity impact on metals

The work is devoted to investigation of metals’ behavior under shock loading. The materials under investigation were copper, aluminum, lead, titanium, titanium alloys and different steels. Microstructure investigations have been carried out using optical microscopy. The strength behavior was investigated with the help of a microhardness device. Comparison of the spherical action of waves and uniaxial shock loading for the aforementioned metals has been done.
