A group of niobium alloys containing tungsten and titanium were developed in an effort to improve the strength and oxidation resistance of niobium. Maximum oxidation resistance in niobium-tungsten -titanium alloys was obtained through a compositional range of 5 to 15% titanium by weight and in excess of 15% tungsten by weight. The alloys were found to be fabricable and to have ultimate tensile strengths in excess of 40,000 lb/in./sup 2/ at 1204 deg C. The effects of additions of other elements such as vanadium, molybdenum, chromium, and zirconium were also investigated. (M.C.G.)
