Distortion and Yield Point of Molybdenum

Abstract

IN a recent communication1, Dr. E. W. Fell refers to a letter from us2 and comments on the yield point of molybdenum wires after a certain heat-treatment in hydrogen followed by nitrogen, as shown in Fig. 1 (No. 2) of our letter. He points out that in Fig. 1 (No. 1), which shows the load-extension curve for wires treated in hydrogen only, no such yield point is present, and attributes the difference in the shape of the two curves (that is, No. 1 and No. 2 in our letter) partly to the different heat-treatment affecting the crystal size of the two samples.
