In any high-energy pulsed power experiment, the metallic conductors are expected to heat up significantly due to resistive losses. In the pulsed case, the effects of local heat transfer are decreased due to the limited thermal diffusion time, so the process is considered to be adiabatic rather than isothermal. Previous results indicate that the high-temperature mechanical properties of metallic conductors...
