The three Niobium samples (100x50x4mm) sent by CERN were examined. 17/12/2018- 10/02/2019 • MU has performed DSC tests to obtain the recrystallization temperature of Niobium after rolling • or on the part of the deep drawn leftover component after receiving. • MU has not yet performed metallography + hardness profile on the samples sent, in order to assess homogeneity of deformation along the thickness (for both rolling directions) when cross rolling of Nb sheet. Clarification is needed. • Evaluation of the effect of cross rolling (comparison of effect of unidirectional and cross rolling) was performed. • CERN provided details on metallographic preparation procedure for Niobium. • Conventional and cross rolling experiment were carried out. Rolling parameters were experimentally determined based on aluminium alloys experiments. • XRD texture tests were performed on initial and rolled samples. Pole figure and ODF syntheses were obtained. • CERN will send a part of the leftover after deep drawing to MU for XRD testing. • Direction dependent tensile test specimens were obtained (water jet cutting) and anisotropy results were presented. • Conventional and cross rolling effects were compared. Summary and results
Open issues and tests in progress • Tensile test with GOM • EBSD tests • Left over part investigation (after deep drawing) • DSC of rolled sheets for confirmation of recrystallization • OM (SEM) investigation • XRD LPA • Writtenreport
