Studies on Re - Mo - W alloys led to lower cost production procedures and greatly improved room temperature ductility properties of powder metallurgy materials used for fast breeder reactor fuel cladding materials. Data are presented for ductility, grain size, hardness, recrystallization, and changes in aging at temperatures up to 2000 deg C for periods up to 1000 hrs. (F.S.)
