INVESTIGATION OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CHROMIUM, CHROMIUMRHENIUM, AND DERIVED ALLOYS
Tensile tests of iodide chromium have been carried out over the range 0 C to 400 C. The peaks which have been detected in the variation of yield stress with temperature are quite small and difficult to locate exactly. However, by dint of performing many tests at close temperature intervals, the peaks have been located as well as seems possible at this time. During this series of tests, it was found, contrary to previous experience, that recrystallized material which had been prestrained about 8 per cent and then recrystallized again was more ductile than recrystallized material which had not had such a treatment. The slow tensile transition temperature was depressed below room temperature, but was above 0 C.
