Unidirectional rolled (UR) and clock rolled (CR) high purity tantalum sheets were analyzed
with an emphasis on the microstructural difference in surface layers. Misorientation …

New rolling technique, ie asymmetric rolling combined with cross rolling is adopted to
produce Ta sputtering targets in this study. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis …

Additive manufacturing (AM) of high strength metallic materials produces microstructures
and defects that deviate substantially from those created through conventional …

The stored energy during deformation under different strains, strain rates and deformation
temperatures was investigated in this paper. Thermal simulation compression and dynamic …

The evolution of texture and microstructure uniformity in tantalum (Ta) sheets for sputtering
target applications is analyzed in detail across the thickness during asymmetric cross rolling …

The microstructures of {111} grain were characterized in detailed and systematically
investigated with the aid of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron …

Compression experiments were designed to examine the intergranular deformation
behaviors of 7xxx aluminum alloy at a micro-scale. Band structures formed in grains upon …

Straight extrusion (SE), single equal channel angular extrusion (S-ECAE) and double equal
channel angular extrusion (D-ECAE) were performed in pure niobium on an industrial scale …

Pure polycrystalline niobium had different texture and microstructure due to the RCD-60,
RCD-84 and CD-84 fabrication processes and recrystallization at 1000° C for 2 h. The …

By employing a quasi-in-situ method, we investigated the crystallographic texture evolution
process of high purity tantalum during compression deformation. The influence of grain size …
