ABSTRACT:
A method of imparting high strength, high ductility, and high fracture toughness to a refractory metal alloy workpiece includes: (i) subjecting the workpiece to at least one pass that reduces the initial cross-sectional area of said workpiece, (ii) annealing the workpiece subsequent to the at least one pass, and (iii) subjecting the workpiece to a final working step comprising at least one pass conducted at a temperature between ambient and 300.degree. C., the final working step further reducing the cross-sectional area of the workpiece such that the total reduction in the initial cross-sectional area of the workpiece is approximately 40%-75% and the final cold working is 0.30 to 0.75 of the total reduction in cross-sectional area. The resulting article has a tensile yield strength of approximately 170-200 Ksi, a tensile elongation of approximately 12%-17%, and a Charpy 10 mm Smooth Bar impact toughness of approximately 100 ft.-lb. to 240 ft.-lb.
