TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic study was conducted on copper of commercial purity (99.9% purity) to elucidate the sequence of events that leads to the evolution of adiabatic shear bands and the structure of the evolved shear band after strain localization during deformation at high strain rates and large strains.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of prior heat treatment on the evolution of adiabatic shear bands in a typical heat treatable steel was investigated, and it was shown that the initial conditions (tempering temperature and time) of a heat-treatable steel before impact can have a significant influence on the formation of adibatic bands, while they exhibit higher impact resistance than when they are tempered for 2.

TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of the shear band structure can be considered as a simultaneous layering of microstructures initially driven by dislocations, which produce the final structures observed in the Shear bands.

TL;DR: In this article, a post-impact annealing of 4340 steel was performed to determine the persistence of adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) by using optical and scanning electron microscopy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3% Hexagonal-Boron Nitride (h-BN) reinforced with 3D laser sintering and heat treated to understand the effect of the elemental composition and post-processing heat treatment on the microstructural evolution and mechanical integrity of processed parts.
