Use was made of molybdenum and tungsten carbide powders, which exhibit fairly high densification rates. The main object of the sintering of specimens from a molybdenum powder was to find out to what extent the behavior in a temperature jump of a metal differing markedly in physical properties (and electronic shell structure) from the metals investigated earlier resembled or differed from that of those metals. A molybdenum powder produced by the reduction of molybdenum trioxide with hydrogen at 800 C was chosen for investigation and experiments with tungsten carbide were carried out on two batches of powders produced at low and high carbidization temperatures. The study showed that the behavior of a porous specimen from the molybdenum powder did not differ from that of other metal powders. The behavior of tungsten carbide specimens in a temperature jump was similar to that of the metal powders studied in a previous investigation.
