In work to develop materials for elevated temperature applications, binary niobium alloys containing either 2.37 wt% chromium, 3.34 wt% zirconium, or 5.21 wt% vanadium were fabricated to sheet by forging at 550 deg C and rolling at room temperature. All three alloys were completely recrystallized after 90% cold work (reduction in thickness) and a one hour anneal at 1150 deg C. Tensile tests on the annealed materials at 650, 800, 1000, 1150, and 1315 deg C indicated that chromium, zirconium, and vanadium are potent strengtheners of niobium. At 1000 deg C the 2.37 wt% chromium and the 5.21 wt% vanadium alloys had 0.2% offset yield strengths of 38,000 and 38,300 psi respectively. At 1315 deg C, the 3.34 wt% zirconium alloy had a 0.2% offset yield strength of 14,700 psi. Stresses to produce creep rates of 0.0001, 0.01, and 0.1% per hour were determined for all three alloys at 650, 800, and 1000 deg C. The vanadium alloy exhibited the greatest creep resistance, requiring stresses of 52,700, 40,000, and 15,500 psi to produce a creep rate of 0.001% per hour at 650, 800, and 1000 deg C respectively. This research indicated that significant improvement in the mechanical properties of niobium can be achieved by alloying without undue sacrifice of fabricability. (auth).
Although much information on high-temperature tensile and stress-rupture properties for various columbium-base materials is readily available, only limited information concerning the more useful creep behavior of columbium alloys has been reported. These data are widely scattered throughout the literature, and little attempt has been made to rationalize the creep behavior of columbium alloys. The purpose of this memorandum is to compile and review existing creep data for columbium alloys to gain insight into their merits and limitations for time-dependent structural service. (Author).
The results of a state-of-the-art survey covering niobium and 18 of its most promising alloys are presented. All data are given in tabular and graphical form covering some of the more important physical, mechanical, and metallurgical properties for each material. References are given at the conclusion of each material section.
The Memorandum contains a description and summary of preliminary properties of eleven new alloys that are considered to be promising high-temperature materials. Most of them are in the experimental-application stage of their development; however, a few have reached the point where they can be considered commercial. Included are six nickel-base alloys, two iron-base alloys, one iron-nickel-base alloy, one cobalt base alloy, and one multicomponent alloy that contains primarily nickel and chromium. Following descriptions of composition and microstructure of each alloy, a large section of the memorandum is concerned with physical and mechanical properties, predominantly stress-rupture and creep properties. Oxidation and sulfidation as well as elevated temperature stability of the alloys is discussed. Information on processing and availability of the alloys is also given. (Author).
