INVESTIGATION OF TANTALUM AND ITS ALLOYS

Abstract

Fabrication results, bend ductility, tensile properties at low and high temperaure, hightemperature stress-rupture data, welding studies, metallurgical studies (both recrystallization behavior and heat treatment), and oxidation behavior of tantalum and tantalum-base alloys are presented. Several tantalum-base alloys were found to have outstanding trength properties at temperatures to 1925 C (3500 F), combined in many cases with excellent room-temperature ductility. Particularly outstanding in this respect are alloys in the system Ta-Mo-W. (Author)
