Some results are presented relating to the effects of shearing velocity on the energy required for shearing of both high and low carbon steels. Analyses of these results suggest an explanation of some of the apparently contradictory findings of other workers. The results obtained may be explained in terms of the relative imbalance between plastic softening due to adiabatic heating and increase in flow stress due to strain and strain rate.
