M. Mabuchi et al., DEFORMATION-BEHAVIOR AND STRENGTHENING MECHANISMS AT INTERMEDIATE TEMPERATURES IN W-LA2O3, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 237(2), 1997, pp. 241-249
Tensile properties have been investigated at 1273-1973 K in rolled and
annealed pure W and W-La2O3 sheets. The as-rolled W-La2O3 showed almo
st the same strength as the as-rolled pure W. On the other hand, the a
nnealed W-La2O3 exhibited higher strength than the annealed pure W. Th
e higher strength of the annealed W-La2O3 is attributed not only to th
e dislocation-particle interaction but also to the substructure which
is stabilized by the La2O3 particles. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
