The Tensile Ductility-Transition in Molybdenum

Plastic deformation of polycrystalline molybdenum: Experimental data and macroscopic model accounting for its anisotropy and tension–compression asymmetry

“…These include alloy composition and impurity content, strain rate, surface defects in the sample, and thermo-mechanical processing (see Lement and Kreder, 1964). For the commercially pure polycrystalline Mo material studied, first we conducted an uniaxial tensile test along RD at a strain rate of 10 À2 /s.…”
