EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON TEXTURE EVOLUTION IN TANTALUM DURING DYNAMIC-EXTRUSION
Motivation of this project is: (1) Build a furnace as a cross section of a gun barrel capable of temperatures up to 600 Celsius; (2) To examine the influence of temperature, texture, and extrusion velocity in Tantalum; (3) Constrain parameters to improve and assist in constitutive model development using high speed imaging & PDV (in-situ); (4) Understanding microstructural development in materials using the dynamic extrusion technique; and (5) Use as a validation test for developing fracture models important to industry, the DoD, and the DOE.
