The effects of social support and health professional home visits on patient adherence to hypertension regimens

Abstract

The textures of swaged and of recrystallized wires of titanium of three purity levels (zone refined, commercial A-50, and commercial A-70) were investigated. The texture of the cold-worked state of all three materials is a strong 〈101̄0〉 fiber texture. For grain sizes less than about 3 μm the recrystallized texture is the same as that in the as-swaged condition. For larger grain sizes, the 〈101̄0〉 direction rotates ± 15 degrees from the wire axis in all three materials. In the case of the zone-refined material a similar rotation occurs for the basal plane with respect to the wire axis; however, this does not occur for the less-pure A-50 and A-70 materials. Some possible reasons for this effect of purity are discussed.
