Deformability Tests of Pure Niobium
research team at the University of Miskolc's Faculty of Materials Science and
Technology has signed a cooperation agreement with the Geneva-based European Organization
for Nuclear Research (CERN) for testing of the materials employed in the Crab Cavities will be
installed in the next generation of the LHC (the so-called High Luminosity Large Hadron
Collider – HL-LHC). At the University of Miskolc, high purity niobium rolling experiments
were carried out in conventional (unidirectional) and cross-rolled manners in order to increase
the deep drawability of the final sheet. The deformability of niobium was measured by Watts-
Ford and compression tests. The microstructure and anisotropy (texture) results of the initial
material and the straight-rolled products are reported
