The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the misro- structure characteristics and mechanical properties of (NF) 35NCD16 high strength alloy steel under quasi-static and dynamic compression loading conditions. At the same time, deformation constitutive equation is used to descibe the plastic deformation behaviour of material properties. Quasi- static mechanical tests adopt the SAGINOMIYA 100 tons forging machine for testing material at low strain rate from 10^-2 to 1 s^-1, and the strainrange from 10% to 80%. Fro dymanic tests, one dimensional elastic wave theory as analysis a basis and the Hopkinson bar tester device are used to invesgate the impact properties of present material at high strain rate from 10^2 to 5*10^3 s^-1 and a low defor- mation from 5% to 25%.Form the result of mechanical tests analysis, it is found that the flow stress increases with the rise of strain rate. The strain rate sensitivity and the activation volume are changed with the incresing of strain rate and strain. Therefore, the different strain rate regions for deformation mechanism can be distinguished. The material deformation is maniniy controlled by thermally activated mech- anism as the strain rate regions for deformation is mainly controlled by thermally activated mechanism as the strain rate less than 10^3 s^-1. If the strain rate is larger than 10^3 s^ -1, the thermally activated meshanism will transform to a dis- location drag mechanism. Microstructural evaluation are made by (OM) AND (SEM) for observing the metallographic structer and the fracture behaviour.Furthermore, with (STEM), microstructure of this material, such as dislocation desity and dislocation cells is analysed and observed.
