COLUMBIUM AND TANTALUM ALLOYS SUITABLE FOR USE AT HIGH TEMPERATURES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4084048
A number of columbium and tantalum alloys were investigated to determine their suitability for use at elevated temperatures. Columbium-- vanadium, tantalum -- vanadium, and tantalum-- hafnium alloys, and also columbium-- 10 wt% titanium alloys modified with additions of 0.1 to 2 mole% ZrO/sub 2/, TiO/sub 2/, ZrB/sub 2/, TiB/sub 2/, ZrC, or TiC were prepared and ex amined. Workability, tensile properties, and oxidation resistance were tested. Of the columbium alloys studied, the columbium-12 at.% vanadium exhibited the best properties; it compared closely with the columbium-- 10 at.% vanadium alloy studied in a previous investigation.
