TENSILE PROPERTIES OF MOLYBDENUM AND TUNGSTEN FROM 2500 TO 3700 F

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4287011
Specimens of wrought sirtered tungsten, arc-cast unalloyed molybdenum, and a molybdenum alloy containing 0.5% titanium were fabricated from 1/2 inchdiameter rolled or swaged bars. Tensile test equipment described herein was used to evaluate the specimens both in the as-received condition and after a 30- minute recrystallization anneal at 8800 F. Two asreceived tests were also made on an experimental molybdenum alloy containing 0.40% titanium and 0.07% zlrconium. Results show that tungsten was considerably stronger than the molybdeuunn specimens over the temperature range specified. Differences in the fracture ductility were also observed. (auth)
