One of the most important issues related to adiabatic shear failure is the correlation among temperature elevation, adiabatic shear band (ASB) formation and the loss of load capacity of the material. Our experimental results show direct evidence that ASB forms several microseconds after stress collapse and temperature rise reaches its maximum about 30 μs after ASB formation. This observation indicates that temperature rise cannot be the cause of ASB. Rather, it might be the result of adiabatic shear localization. As such, the traditional well-accepted thermal-softening mechanism of ASB needs to be reconsidered.

How magnetic reconnection is triggered or suppressed is an important outstanding problem. By considering pinching of a current sheet that has formed at non-equilibrium, we show that the background plasma beta is a major controlling factor in the onset and nature of magnetic reconnection. A high plasma beta inhibits a current sheet from pinching down to kinetic scales required for collisionless reconnection, while a low beta facilitates it.

In advanced engineering applications, there has been an increasing demand for the service performance of materials under high-strain-rate conditions where a key phenomenon of adiabatic shear instability is inevitably involved. The presence of adiabatic shear instability is typically associated with large shear strains, high strain rates, and elevated temperatures. Significant plastic deformation that concentrates within a adiabatic shear band (ASB) often results in catastrophic failure, and it is necessary to avoid the occurrence of such a phenomenon in most areas.

This work studies numerically the development of adiabatic shear banding (ASB) during high strain-rate compression of AISI 1045 steel. Plane strain and cylindrical axisymmetric compressions are simulated in LS-DYNA, considering rectangular and cylindrical steel samples, respectively. Also, a parametric analysis in height-to-base ratio is conducted in order to evaluate the effect of geometry and dimensional ratio of the sample on ASB formation.

To achieve the rapid heat dissipation of components in the industrial field, the heat dissipation coating is prepared on the surface, which is conducive to improving the service life of the parts and greatly reducing the industrial costs. In this paper, metallized diamond/Cu composite coatings were fabricated on 1060Al substrate by supersonic laser deposition. The composite coatings were prepared at a nitrogen pressure of 3.

Conventional welding methods encounter significant challenges, including poor weldability, low joint strength, and the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds, primarily due to the substantial disparities in the physical and chemical properties of aluminum and iron. To mitigate these issues, the vaporizing foil actuator welding (VFAW) process has emerged as a highly promising solid-phase welding technology, particularly suitable for joining dissimilar metals with pronounced differences in properties, such as aluminum alloys and stainless steels. The present study provides an innovative quantitative analysis of the interfacial impact energy conversion mechanisms within the VFAW process.
