Processing and Protection of High Temperature Structural Materials

Abstract

Our objective was to develop a greatly improved understanding of the thermodynamic basis for processing and performance enhancement of Nb and Ta based alloys in order to provide better, scientifically-based support for current engineering efforts aimed at development of high temperature structural aerospace applications. A number of significant accomplishments have been made by the cooperating teams of researchers involved in this program. At the University of Florida, DeHoff and Brady have completed final modification of a computer program for calculating thermochemical diagrams of the type calculated by Dr. Pourbaix for high temperature oxidation. The development of such a program was one of the major milestones of the project. The program is ready for distribution upon request
