PILOT EVALUATION OF VANADIUM ALLOYS
Abstract
V-base alloys under consideration for large-scale fabrication and evaluation exhibited marked elevated-temperature property changes with small variations in C, O, and/or N levels. Increased amount of interstitials caused reduced fabricability and higher elevated-temperature strength. The optimum levels of interstitials and the extent to which these elements were picked up (or lost) during processing was determined. Analyses of V-5 wt-% Ti-20 wt-% Nb sheet stock produced by several methods indicated that an average of 0.031 wt-% C and 0.034 W-% O were picked up during melting and fabricating. (Author)
