Some research works report the relationships between transformation toughening and process zone. In SUS304, the reduction of transformation toughening at high strain rate is expected from the result of a small punch test. Currently, the process zone in SUS304 is fuzzily defined. Therefore, a consideration of damaging process is necessary in order to understand a fracture mechanism associated with transformation toughening and process zone. In this study, at first, tensile tests of pre-cracked sheet specimens made of SUS304 are conducted by the split Hopkinson pressure bar in order to understand the fracture mechanism phenomenologically at high deformation rate. During the test, a DC potential difference method is introduced to capture onset time of fracture.
