Mechanical Properties of LX-10-1Evaluated with the Diametric Disc Test.

摘要

The mechanical properties of two Holston lots of LX-10-1were determined using the diametric disc test formerly known as the indirect tension test. A portion of the diametric disc specimens was machines from isostatic pressings and a second group was pressed-to-shape. Both types of fabricated discs were included in the experiment to establish a relationship of measured disadvantages in explosives testing. The machined discs yeilded an average stress-strain failure slightly higher than the pressed-to-shape disc specimens. Fabrication specification problems encountered with the finished pressed-to-shape disc specimens are being investigated at the present time. (ERA citation 04:039517)
