Title: Refractory ceramic compositions and method for preparing same

Abstract

This invention relates to ceramic compositions of tungsten and tantalum oxides including 0 to 33 1/3 mole percent of a metal oxide such as hafnia. These ceramics are characterized by melting points greater than about 1400.degree.C and selectively controlled coefficients of thermal expansion of essentially zero to a negative value in the temperature range of 20.degree. to 1000.degree.C.
