Description: Non-Sag tungsten wires are indispensable for the lighting industry. For the necessary creep resistance, large elongated grains are considered as the desired microstructure.
Non-Sag tungsten wires are indispensable for the lighting industry. For the necessary creep resistance, large elongated grains are considered as the desired microstructure. These large grains are obtained by primary and secondary recrystallization. In secondary recrystallization, often called abnormal grain growth, a few of the grains grow massive. The mechanisms of normal and abnormal grain growth are essentially the same, involving high angle boundary migration and driven by the reduction of surface energ
