DEVELOPMENT OF TANTALUM-TUNGSTEN ALLOYS FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE PROPULSION SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Abstract

Nine material evaluation rocket motor (MERM) nozzles of carburized Ta and high W content Ta base alloys were delivered to Aerojet GeneralSacramento for testing under A-3 conditions. The carburized inserts were fired; the carburized pure Ta failed, but the carburized Ta 10% W firings were successful. The uncarburized high W content nozzles were returned for carburizing. (Author)
