Abstract

Compressive deformation of reaction bonded boron carbide has been carried out over a strain rate range 10−4 to 10−2 s−1. The maximum compressive strength of reaction bonded boron carbide at strain rate of 10−4 s−1 is 370 MPa and 470 MPa at strain rate of 10−2 s−1. It is not possible to carryout quasi-static compression test at very higher strain rates (≥ 102 s−1). However, the data generated at low strain rates can be extrapolated to higher strain rates and this data correlate well with the experimental compressive strength values generated by dynamic compression tests.
