Abstract

The effect of oxygen, grain size, and strain rate on the quasistatic and dynamic mechanical properties of extruded, forged, and annealed P/M tantalum containing two different levels of oxygen is addressed. The high oxygen (250-400 ppm) P/M materials were characterized as having a higher flow stress and greater work hardening than wrought high purity tantalum. Work hardening and relative strain rate sensitivity exponents of the P/M materials were found to be relatively independent of oxygen level and grain size and slightly dependent on strain rate. This behavior may be due to the existence of fine dispersion of tantalum oxide particles. The state of oxygen in the P/M forgings was investigated by TEM analysis.
