November 2010, Pages of different rolling processes and the last step of heat treatment on
722727 microstructure, texture and the mechanical properties of molybdenum
sheets. Usually, unidirectional rolling leads to a strengthening of the
main texture component, which for molybdenum is a weak -fibre with a
maximum at the rotated cube component {100} < 110>. This component
leads to a strong anisotropy of the mechanical properties in the sheet
plane. Cross rolling steps during the thermomechanical process increase
the rotated cube component. To decrease the intensity of the rotated cube
component and simultaneously increase the intensity of the -fibre,
specific annealing stages of the final heat treatment were tested. The
texture development during these annealing stages is discussed with
regard to microstructural changes. The strong differences in the textures
measured are reflected in the plastic anisotropy characterized by the
Lankford parameters. The TaylorBishopHill theory is used to
qualitatively explain the plastic anisotropy.

2016, Pages 5257 secondary recrystallized grains caused by dynamic recrystallization are
observed far from the crack tip. In contrast, under high load and high
temperature conditions, coarse secondary recrystallized grains are only
fully formed near the crack tip, while coarse secondary recrystallized
grains and small primary recrystallized grains coexisted further away
from the tip. The recrystallized grain size of the Mo-B sheet is smaller
 than that of the Mo-A sheet, and small primary and large secondary
recrystallized grains are mixed throughout whole specimens of the Mo-B
sheet. Mo-A sheet shows elongated ductile fracture, but Mo-B sheet
shows irregular brittle fracture under the same conditions. The steady-
state creep strain rate at 1800 C is found to be 7.34 10 6,
2.83 10 5 and 1.53 10 4 s 1 under a constant stress of 5, 10 and
20 MPa, respectively. The stress exponent is estimated to be 3.853.98
and the strain activation energy for steady state creep is 362413 kJ/mol.

polypropylene-MWCNTs Pages 218227 incremental forming process (SPIF). The performance of these
composite sheets composite materials when processed by SPIF indicated that the presence
of small quantities (<1 wt%) of f-MWCNTs leads to a mechanical
reinforcement of the polymer matrix, without affecting its formability.
This reinforcement was further highlighted due to the alignment of the
polymer chains and nanotubes caused by the forming process. A
variation in color between the inner and outer sides of the deformed parts
revealed the presence of crazing, associated to the different forces
exerted on each side. The dispersion of the f-MWCNTs and the polymer-
nanotube interaction in the composites were studied by different
characterization techniques, and it was found that a good integration of
the f-MWCNTs into the polymer matrix was achieved.
