Toughening Mechanisms of Molybdenum Alloys

Rolling unalloyed molybdenum, molybdenum alloys, and Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) molybdenum into sheet produces microstructures with elongated, pancake shaped grains that can result in anisotropic mechanical properties.

In this work, unalloyed molybdenum, molybdenum alloys, and ODS molybdenum are rolled to thinner sheet and then subjected to tensile and fracture toughness testing and examination of the toughening mechanism.

The ductile laminate toughening mechanism observed for wrought molybdenum results from a lower toughness in the short-transverse orientation that leads to separation of the layers of sheet-like grains of the microstructure along the grain boundaries in the regions of stress concentration.
