THE DEVELOPMENT OF OPTIMUM MANUFACTURING METHODS FOR COLUMBIUM ALLOY SHEET. Interim Technical Engineering Progress Report, December 15, 1960-March 15, 1961

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4031977
Two consolidation techniques -electron-beam melting plus vacuum-arc remelting of nominal purity niobium and double vacuum-arc remelting of high- purity niobiumwere evaluated and compared for making the Nb-10Mo10Ti alloy, D31. The electron-beam plus vacuum-arc remelt of normal-purity niobium was selected as the preferred consolidation technique since it produced the better quality ingot at a lower cost and avoids a difficult electrode preparation schedule.
