Thermally activated deformation mechanisms and solid solution softening in W-Re alloys investigated via high temperature nanoindentation

Thermally activated deformation mechanisms in three different W-Re alloys were investigated by performing high temperature nanoindentation experiments up to 800 °C. With increasing Re content the athermal hardness increases, while the temperature-dependent thermal contribution is strongly decreased....
