The author shows that it is possible to formulate the directions in developments whose purpose is to increase the heat resistance of niobium and niobium-base alloys. These include the creation of a barrier layer for retarding undesirable diffusion processes at the coating-base interface, the formation on niobium alloy parts of alloy silicide layers, the obtaining on parts operating at temperatures above 1300 C of a coating of molybdenum disilicide, the application to previously siliconized niobium alloys of a barrier layer of heterophase coatings, the matrix of which is a low-melting component and the filler refractory compounds, and the addition to the oxidizing gaseous medium of various additions increasing the service life of the protective coating.
