Influence of rolling reduction and annealing on recrystallization and grain structure in Ta-2.5W alloys

Key Points

• Recrystallization significantly alters the grain structure of Ta-2.5W alloys after processing.
• Data showed 30% grain size reduction with optimal rolling reduction during heat treatment.
• Assessment using rolling reduction and annealing techniques helped delineate microstructural changes.
• Findings support refining grain structure leads to improved mechanical properties in alloys.
