O. Pawelski et al., DEVELOPMENT OF NEW METHODS FOR DETERMINING THE FORMABILITY AND FLOW-STRESS OF MATERIALS BASED ON INTERMETALLIC COMPOUNDS, Steel research, 65(8), 1994, pp. 326-330
The following test methods were developed: the small-cup tension test,
the mantle compression test, and the ball compression test. They are
applicable up to very high temperatures. The experiments with model ma
terials and NiAl- and TiAl-compounds were combined with plastomechanic
al calculations by the method of upper bound of deformation power and
by the method of finite elements.
