The effects of interstitial impurities, especially O and N, on the fabricability and elevatedtemperature strength properties of V-Nb base alloys were investigated. To establish optimum interstitial levels, a series of alloys based on V-1 wt-% Ti-60 wt-% Nb and V-1 wt-% Hf-60 wt-% Nb were prepared as small arc-melted ingots with varying O and N additions. Analyses of V alloy sheet stock which had been tensile tested under a dynamic He atmosphere indicated that good elevated-temperature strength was obtained at O and N levels in the range of 0.07 to 0.13 wt-%, and the specimens exhibited room-temperature bend ductility. Tensile evaluations under vacuum at 2000 F showed the addition of 0.05 wt-% O to a V-5 wt-% Ti-20 wt-% Nb base to be a much more potent strengthener than was 0.03 wt-% C to the same base. (Author)
