High purity vanadium, both in the polycrystalline
and monocrystalline form, was strained in tension in
order to study the controlling deformation mechanism at
temperatures between 77 and 293°K. The temperature and
strain rate dependence of the flow stress for two grades
of material, 99.99% and 99.93%, was evaluated using temperature...
Relatively simple methods are developed for obtaining discreet
orientation characterization of preferred orientation from x-ray
diffraction-determined pole figure data. It is demonstrated how this
information, along with the single crystal elastic constants, can be
used to calculate Young's modulus as a function of sheet direction.
Computer programs are developed for...
