ROLLING DEFORMATION AND RECRYSTALLIZATION OF (111) [112] SINGLE-CRYSTALS OF HIGH-PURITY MOLYBDENUM AND TANTALUM

It is stated that interpretation of the basic mechanisms of the rolling deformation and recrystallization of bcc metals seems to be based almost entirely on experimental data for 3% Si silicon iron. The purpose of the present paper is to report data for rolling deformation and recrystallization behavior of high purity Mo and Ta single crystals which could not have been predicted in silicon iron with the same orientation.
