On understanding the influence of microstructure on pure tungsten machinability: A micro-end milling case by Jinxuan Bai, Zhiwei Xu, Wenbin Zhong, Maomao Wang, Linmao Qian

“…Results showed that the grain and subgrain boundaries introduced by the pre-deformation process were insufficient to significantly enhance the material plasticity in milling, resulting in up to a 138.5 % increase in surface roughness. In contrast, dislocations nucleated during pre-deformation effectively reduced penetrative surface damages when the depth of cut remained below the average grain size. …”
