Investigation was continued to relate high-temperature properties of refractory metal alloys to parameters such as microstructure, atomic structure, and position of the elements In the periodic table. Selected compositions from binary systems containing Hf, Os, Re, and Ru are being investigated. Data on tensile and hot hardness properties of Mo, Mo--Re, Ta--Re, Ta--Ru, and W are given. Continued work is reported on corrosion of Zr alloys, mechanism of failure of thick oxide films, the effects of foreign ion incorporation into ZrO/ sub 2 lattices, and zone refining of flake and distilled Be.
