An Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Chromium, Chromium-Rhenium, and Derived Alloys
Abstract
Although it has been known for almost 10 years that additions of rhenium to the Group VI-A refractory metals can under some conditions lead to enhanced ductility, the effect has not as yet been fully documented. In particular, the testing procedures used to investigate the ductilizing effect have been usually either tests of workability or slow- bend or slow-tension transition-temperature determinations. While such investigations have been and still are of great usefulness in interpreting the mechanism of the alloying effect, an evaluation of the structural potential of a particular alloy is more usually determined by a higher strain rate test, such as a determination of the impact transition temperature. Therefore, it was decided to determine the notch-impact transition temperature of chromium and chromium-35 at. % rhenium to evaluate their relative mechanical properties at these higher strain rates.
