INVESTIGATIONS IN THE TANTALUM-OXYGEN SYSTEM. I. THE MECHANISM OF THE OXYGEN ABSORPTION AT HIGH TEMPERATURES (in German)

OSTI ID:4220188

The time dependence of reactions taking place when tantalum is loaded with oxygen was studied by measuring the amount of oxygen absorbed, the electrical resistivity, and the microhardness, and by investigating the structure and the microstructure of the specimens. It was found that in the temperature range between 700 and 1420 deg C the following three reactions may occur simultaneously: solution of oxygen in tantalum formation of an outer layer of Ta/ sub 2/O/sub 5/, and formation of suboxide with laminated structure in the cubic planes of the tantalum. These reactions were investigated in detail, and the results are discussed. (auth)
