DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7020133· OSTI ID:7020133
A chamber for tensile testing vanadium alloys at pressure of 10/sup /minus/5/ Pa (10/sup /minus/7/ torr) and temperatures up to 800/degree/C has been designed and fabricated. Features of the test system include an 20.3-cm (8-in.) cryopump and a tungsten element furnace. The chamber can be pumped to a pressure less than 10/sup /minus/4/ Pa (10/sup /minus/6/ torr) in less than 10 min. The stress-strain curve obtained for the V-20Ti alloy at 600/degree/C was consistent with results obtained for the same alloy on a second, proven machine. 1 ref., 10 figs.
