PILOT EVALUATION OF VANADIUM ALLOYS.

Abstract

Two experimental alloys, V-35w/o Cr-1w/o Zr and V-25w/o Mo-2.5w/o Hf-0.1w/o C, exhibited severe cracking when fabricated to 0.050 in. sheet; grain boundary precipitates were noted. Property evaluations for wrought material from 100-pound melts of V-60w/o Cb-1w/o Ti and V-20w/o Cb-4w/o Ti-1w/o Zr-0.075w/o C are reported from data obtained at IITRI and at other organizations participating under this data exchange program. Results of bend, tensile, compression, and oxi dation tests are tabulated for alloy specimens at room and elevated temperatures; welded sheet samples were included in these evaluations. Results to date indicate that V-60w/o Cb-1w/o Ti is superior in strength properties to the high vanadium alloy on a density-corrected basis. (Author)
