Abstract

The behaviour of the intermetallic compound, Ni3Al under shock loading conditions has been measured. The Hugoniot Elastic Limit occurs at ca. 530 MPa, which converts to a 1-D yield stress of 273 MPa, in agreement with quasi-static data. In contrast, the ductility at shock-induced strain-rates appears much reduced when compared to lower strain-rates. The Hugoniot in terms of shock velocity and particle velocity suggests that Ni3Al is more compressible than pure nickel. This is in agreement with the greater stiffnesses in nickel, measured using ultrasonic techniques.
