EFFECTS OF HAFNIUM ADDITIONS ON PROPERTIES OF VANADIUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4792965
The effects of sdding from 1 to 50 atomic percent hafnium to vanadium were investigated. Properties studied included as-cast and annealed hardness, microstructure, fabricability at room temperature and elevated temperature, tensile strength, electrical resistivity, and oxidation resistance at 625 and 800 deg C. Additions of small amounts of hafnium resulted in lessened as-cast hardness, decreased electrical resistivity, impaired rollability, increased oxidation resistance, and greater tensile strength. Larger amount of hafnium caused greater as-cast hardness, increased electrical resistivity, further impaired rollability, continued increase in oxidation resistance, and lessened tensile strength.
