Why does Vanadium fracture at right angles (see image)?

26 November 2019 0 7K Report

I broke this piece of pure vanadium by putting it through a rolling machine. The fracture surface consists of many harsh, right angles. It's likely a form of brittle fracture but unlike anything I've ever seen.

Does anyone know what color etchants to use for metallographic preparation of Tantalum or similar refractory metals?

I have to occasionally etch tantalum to evaluate grain structure, but I often times find the etchant doesn't fully reveal the grain boundaries. Perhaps using a color etchant as well is worthwhile....

Are there models trained on both x-ray and ct scans for COVID-19 prediction?

I've only come across models that were trained and evaluated on one of these data. I don't see why it would be a problem to do both, as there are many similar features.

Why don't we address molecular orbitals in XPS binding energy spectra?

When we look at the binding energy spectrum of an element, we see peaks originating from various atomic orbitals. If the atom changes in chemical state, the peak positions shift around. For...

Are any materials truly isotropic, or is this only an approximation?

Often times, a pure metal is described as isotropic because the mechanical properties do not vary with direction. However, I recently learned that Young's modulus changes with direction according...

Can cross-slip, twinning and fracture systems, under applied loadings, receive the same mathematical theory?

Cross-slip, twinning and fracture are major deformation modes adopted by loaded materials. It appears sound that these apparently different deformation mechanisms can be analysed on the equal manner!
