Methods of evaluating long-term strength of refractory metals and alloys are compared using specimens of FS-85, Cb-752, TZM, and TZC. The results of prediction of the creep strength of the alloys under consideration confirm an earlier conclusion to the effect that, for refractory metals and alloys, the temperature range over which prediction problems may be satisfactorily solved is fairly wide, and may amount to 400 to 600/sup 0/C. This means that the creep-strength characteristics of the materials in question may in fact be reliably predicted over long periods of service.
