Description

This work aims to study he mechanical behaviour of commercially pure niobium (99.8 % purity) obtained by means of aluminothermic reduction followed by electron beam melting and refining. Eleven groups of specimens were analyzed under tensile tests, with different degrees of reduction (cold working), using rotary forging. Significant alterations were observed in the mechanical properties in all processing steps. Using electron scanning microscopy, the main characteristics of the fracture surface were studied.
