“…Thornburg [19], and Stoloff and Dillamore [20] reported that the room temperature yield strength of a cold worked FeCo alloy, with 1.5-2.0% V, decreases with increasing annealing temperature, while the ductility peaks in the ordered region. On the other hand, the ductility peak was observed in the disordered region when the vanadium content is 3 wt.% [2]. In addition, the higher vanadium alloy also exhibited a peak in yield strength when annealed at 600-625 • C. Factors such as high dislocation density, fine precipitation, and fine grain size increase yield strength, while recrystallization, grain growth, dissolution of precipitates, and change in texture lead to a loss in strength [2].…”
