The Use of Strain Softening to Improve the Properties of Refractory Metals

Abstract

The molybdenum -0.5 titanium alloy was subjected to an increasingly large number of passes with a constant work roll size. The property improvement went through a maximum at a relatively low number of passes (ten). Attempts to measure sur face strains by use of a ruled grid yielded results that were too coarse to experimentally relate strain to work roll diameter. More refined techniques are to be used. The unnotched tensile properties of the tungsten sheet were evaluated as a function of testing temperature.
