Abstract
High purity tantalum ingots processed by electron beam melting are typical oligocrystalline materials. They are composed of a few coarse columnar grains aligned to the longitudinal ingot axis. The processing of this material into wires involves cold swaging up to large strains. The present work attempts to clarify the evolution of the microstructure during swaging which determines the subsequent changes related with annealing.
