Abstract
It has been shown that columbium is extremely susceptible to strain aging, both in tension and in fatigue when small amounts of oxygen are present in solid solution. The temperature at which maximum strain aging occurs is apparently a function of the strain rate (frequency of loading in fatigue), and for the rates used in the present experiments maximum strengthening occurred at 500°C in tension and 400°C in fatigue. The stress magnitude of the strain aging peak for both tension and fatigue is dependent upon the oxygen concentration. Strengthening due to strain aging increases very rapidly with increasing oxygen content up to approximately 0.02 weight per cent which corresponds to one oxygen atom per dislocation per atom plane, in the severely deformed metal. Oxygen in excess of 0.02 weight per cent contributes relatively little additional strengthening at the temperature of maximum strain aging.
