In order to study the influence of recovery, various pre-recovery treatments at different
temperatures followed by a recrystallization treatment are performed on deformed …

In conventional symmetric rolling (SR), the microstructure and texture inhomogeneities
along the thickness are intractable problems for body-centered-cubic (BCC) metals with high …

The evolution of dislocation arrangement during deformation can lead to the development of
dislocation substructures which have direct consequences on the subsequent …

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

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 …

We report high-quality, hard (31–41 GPa), crack-resistant (hardness-to-effective Young's
modulus ratio of 0.13–0.16) and electrically conductive (2.8–4.2× 10 5 S m− 1) HfB 2-based …

High-purity tantalum is used as the sputtering target material for integrated circuits, requiring
fine grains and random texture. Understanding different orientation deformation …

This paper reports a quasi in-situ study on the plastic deformation behavior of high purity
tantalum, particularly the slip activation and slip transfer, using the electron backscatter …

One hundred and thirty-five degree clock rolling significantly improves the texture
homogeneity of tantalum sheets along the thickness, but a distinctly fragmented substructure …
