i Ordinary annealing treatment makes W brittle, and severe working, below recrystallization or equiaxing tempera- 

 ture, produces ductility W rods which have been worked and recrystallized are stronger than sintered rods. The 

 equiaxing temperature of worked tungsten, with a 5-min. exposure, varies from 2200° C for a work rod with 24 per cent 

 reduction, to 1350° C lor a fine wire with loo per cent reduction. _ Tungsten wire, D = 0.635 rnm or 0.025 in. 



§ Compression on cylmder 25.4 mm (i in.) by 65.1 mm (2.6 in.), at 20 per cent deformation: 



For spelter (cast zinc) free from Cd, av. 17.2 kg/mm^ or 24,500 lb/in'. 



For spelter with Cd 0.26, av. 27.4 kg/mm* or 39,000 Ib/in^. (See Proc. A. S. T. M., VoL 13, pi. 19.) 



Modulus of rupture averages twice the corresponding tensile strength. 



Shearing strength: rolled, averages 13.6 kg/mm^ or 194,000 Ib/in^. 



Modulus of elasticity: cast, 7,750 kg/mm^ or 11,025,000 Ib/itf 



Modulus of elasticity, rolled, 8450 kg/mm* or 12,000 000 lb/in'. (Moore, Bulletin 52, Eng. Esp. Sta. Univ. of 111.)
