UNITED STATES AIR FORCE PROGRESS REPORT ON REFRACTORY METALS

Journal Article · · J. Less-Common Metals

A cross-section of the research and development activities of the U. S. Air Force in the refractory metals area is presented. Emphasis is being placed on the development of high-strength alloys for structural applications at temperatures in excess of 1100 deg C. Studies of the oxidation behavior of tantalum and tungsten are being conducted concurrently with research on protective coatings. A refractory metals processing facility was established and limited programs were conducted on the primary breakdown of arc-cast tungsten and molybdenum base alloys by extrusion. (auth)
