Hello,
I'm seeking help with material selection for a high impact speed application. We are currently using HRC 54 S7 as both impactor and target. The impact velocity is near 50m/s and we find occasional brittle failure a serious issue. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions as to an alternative. The design life if fairly low so fatigue is not of great concern, there are no corrosive threats and temperature generally room temperature or higher.
Any insight on alternate alloys, similar applications, or consultants who specialize in related topics would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Peter
