Abstract:Molybdenum, a refractory metal with a body-centered cubic lattice, is processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) at room temperature under an applied pressure of 6.0 GPa and torsional straining from one-half to ten turns. The microstructures are characterized by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and measurements are taken of the Vickers microhardness. The results show a gradual evolution of homogeneity in grain size and microhardness with increasing numbers of HP… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
