Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4783522
Sixteen Nb-W-Zr closed die forgings were successfully made from 16 forging blanks using conventional forging equipment and techniques. No perceptible die wear resulted with a 2400 deg F forging temperature, whereas considerable die wear occurred when a 2200 deg F forging temperature was used. Excellent oxidation protection was provided by the Al-Cr-Si coating. (auth)
