Abstract

Post-impact deformation of projectiles is studied in relation to flyer-plate thickness and standoff distance from a rigid anvil, without significant penetration and perforation of the flyer plate. A close-range photogrammetric measuring technique is used to determine the final profiles of polymeric cylindrical projectiles. This non-destructive measurement technique is utilized to study the effects of projectile nose geometry on the high rate deformation process, at speeds ranging from 100 to 600 m/s, in connection with metal sheet deformation during impact spot welding. An Imacon ultra-high speed camera is used to photograph the deforming polymeric projectiles.

      The latter proposes high quality, steady and reliable connection between parts by creating solid phase bonding and interlock between surfaces. For this purpose, a high velocity projectile ‎[3–8] or slug of water ‎[9–11] impacts a pre-determined point and a permanent connection would be created at the neighboring zone. The high pressure produced by impact of liquid jet with solid surfaces, lasts for very short intervals of time and is followed by a rapid radial flow of the liquid at speeds which may be several times higher than the impact speed itself ‎[10].

      Turgutlu et al. [5] employed a kind of low density polymethylene projectile (LDPE) to accelerate the flyer plate, and good spot joint with no debris on the surface was achieved. Then, the influence of different nose shapes of the LDPE on the morphologies of weld interfaces and the deformation characteristics of polymeric projectiles were also systematically investigated [9,10]. In recent years, Zhang [6] adopted a high velocity projectile to strike two adjacent metal sheets and force them into a die.
