The optimum sintering temperatures of cold pressed NbBe/sub 12/, Nb/sub 2/Be/sub 17/ and Nb/sub 2/Be/sub 19/ were established as 3090. and 3090 deg F, respectively. The compound Nb/sub 2/Be/sub 17/ sintered to 97.5% of theoretical density. Sound 4-in.-square by l-in.-thick blocks of Nb/sub 2/Be/sub 17/ were fabricated and cut into transverse-rupture bars. A modulus of rupture strength of over 46.000 psi was measured at 2500 deg F. In the metallurgical phase. tungsten was found to be a suitable jacket material for the mechanical working of the niobium beryllides at 3000 deg F if protected from oxidation. Cera-kote. a refractory coating, sufficiently reduced tungsten oxidation for periods up to 1- hr. Two Nb/sub 2/Be/sub 17/ specimens were upset at 2750 deg F and 7500 psi. An upset of 48% was achieved. causing a slight increase in density and grain size. (auth)
