Abstract

Niobinm is attractive as a metal or alloy for use at high temperatures and in the fields of nuclear energy and apace travel because of its high melting point (4470DEF), good intrinsic dactility, reasonable chemical resistance, low thermal neutron capture cross section, and low density (7.9 g/cm/sup 3/). The current prices and delivery times of commercial Nb are a little lower, although still high. Progress made from 1955 to 1960 in the removal of C, O, aad N from Nb is shown. Problems commonly encountered in processing (casting) Nb alloys and teating are described; it is best to conduct high-temperature thats in vacuum. Some data are given and plotted (2000 deg F) for the effects of alloying elements (e.g., Zr, Ti, Mo, W, C, and O) on the oxidation resistance and strength of Nb. Commercially available Nb alloys are given together with laboratory and pilot alloys, and strength va. tsmperature and time plots are given for some of them. The future of Nb alloys is discussed.

REACTOR TECHNOLOGY REPORT NO. 16-METALLURGY

Technical Report

Welding and Brazing. A resistance autobrazing process was developed for joining metallic probes to semiconductive thermoelectric materials. A dynamic method for measuring temperatures in heat-affected zones of Zircaloy-2 weldments was devised using W-Re thermocouples which can record peak temperatures up to 1600 deg 30 deg C. Four brazing alloys for joining Inconel to Inconel were evaluated, and data are presented on their tensile properties, corrosion, and optimum brazing temperatures. Structural Materials. The results of an evaluation of a cast Inconel bottom transition piece are reported. Preliminary results are also reported for arc-melting of Na-reduced Zr sponge to produce a Zircaloy-2more »« less
COLUMBIUM BASE ALLOY

Patent Clark, J

A Nb-base alloy is described which has good oxidation resistance, high creep strength, and good low-temperature ductility. The alloy comprises 20% W, 0.5 to 2% Zr or Hf, 0.01 to 0.2% C, and balance Nb; the atomic ratio of Zr or Hf to C must be in the range of 0.5 to 1.5. The effects of the Zr/C ratio on the creep rate of Nb-20% W alloys containing 1.0 and 0.5% Zr are shown. (D.L.C.)
HARDENING OF COLUMBIUM BY INTERSTITIALS. Final Report, March 4-December 3, 1960

Technical Report McAndrew, J; Simcoe, C

Studies of Nb with combined additions of interstitial and substitutional solutes show that the addition of O/sub 2/ together with Ti or Zr is- an excellent method of preparing forgeable Nb alloys with good high-temperature strength and adequate low-temperature ductility. Nb-1.5% Ti-0.50% O had triple the strength of pure Nb up to 2200 deg F and was ductile at temperatures from -76 to +2200 deg F. (D.L.C.)
SNAP PROGRAMS, TASKS 2, 3, 5 AND 6 QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT No. 2, JANUARY TO MARCH 31, 1960

Technical Report

System Design. A chem-milled outer skin, an improved thermoelectric element adjustment and access plug, a flexible stainless steel-aluminum joint welded via ultrasoric techniques, a flexible hot shoe assembly, and thermal hydrauilc heat dump system were incorporated into the design of the environmental and ground test generators. Materials Analysis. Burnup studies on fuel forms were continued with CeF/sub 3/ and CeO/sub 2/. SiC/sub 2/ appeared to be the most promising addition to CeO/sub 2/. Tests showed that the Allegheny Ludlum alloy S-818 alloy is resistant to attack by CeO/sub 2/ and CeF/sub 3/, but is attacked by Ce metal. Hazards Analysismore »« less

Development of Low-Cost Austenitic Stainless Gas-Turbine and Diesel Engine Components with Enhanced High-Temperature Reliability

Technical Report Maziasz, P; Swindeman, R; Browning, P; ...

In July of 1999, a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) was undertaken between Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Solar Turbines, Inc. and Caterpillar, Inc. (Caterpillar Technical Center) to evaluate commercial cast stainless steels for gas turbine engine and diesel engine exhaust component applications relative to the materials currently being used. If appropriate, the goal was to develop cast stainless steels with improved performance and reliability rather than switch to more costly cast Ni-based superalloys for upgraded performance. The gas-turbine components considered for the Mercury-50 engine were the combustor housing and end-cover, and the center-frame hot-plate, both made frommore »« less
