However, data on effects of m i c r o a l l o y i n g on p r o c e s s i b i l i t y , microstructure and mechanical properties is not readily available. Ta powder with several levels of silicon (0-50 ppm) was processed under identical conditions; sheet s a m p l e s were a n n e a l e d at d i f f e r e n t temperatures and evaluated via microstructural, chemical and mechanical tests. The recrystallization temperature increased with silicon content. It is most probably due to the presence of an intermetallic (Ta3Si) phase. The mechanical properties of unrecrystallized tantalum, are expectedly, significantly different from those of recrystallized tantalum.
