Intermetallic compounds from thirty-five binary metallic systems were prepared, fabricated into oxidation-test specimens, and tested for oxidation resistance in dry air at 2300 F. Only high-melting (above 2550 F) compounds were studied. These included aluminides, beryllides, silicides, germanides, and zirconides, as well as numerous miscellaneous compounds. The intermetallic compounds or compositions which are shown to have sufficient oxidation resistance at 2300 F to be potentially useful at this temperature include NbAl/sub 3/, TaAl/sub 3/, CrBe/sub 2/, MoBe/sub 12/, Nb/sub 2/Be/sub 17/, NbBe/sub 12/, TaBe/ sub 2/, Ta/sub 2/Be/sub 17/, TaBe/sub 12 /, TiBe/sub 2/, TiBe/sub 12/, WBe/sub 5/ , ZrBe/sub 13/, Zr/sub 2/Be/sub 17/, Cr/sub 3/Si, Ti/sub 5/Si/sub 3/, TiSi, TiSi/ sub 2/, and TaCr/sub 2/.
