This report presents the results of a state-of-the-art survey covering tantalum and seven of its alloys. 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 results of a state-of-the-art survey covering tungsten and ten of its alloys are presented.

The critical resolved shear stress of tantalum base alloys was measured from -196C to 300C and of niobium base alloys from -196C to 1800C. The behavior at low temperatures is complex. Certain features can, however, be recognized as significant: Both indirect and direct interactions contribute to the critical resolved shear stress. At high temperatures solid solution hardening is associated with an elastic interaction between solute atoms and dislocations. The modulus misfit parameter is more important than the size misfit parameter in describing the hardening.
The tensile behavior of dilute Ta-H and Ta-Mo alloys was studied as a function of alloying addition, grain size and test temperature at a constant strain rate. The results are interpreted in terms of the parameters sigma sub-i and k sub-y of the Petch equation. For Ta-H alloys at 25 C sigma sub-i was independent of hydrogen content whereas k sub-y increased with hydrogen content. Deformation twinning was not observed in Ta-H alloys either at 25 C or at -196 C. Dilute additions of Mo to Ta at 25 C resulted in an increase in k sub-y whereas sigma sub-i was unaffected. Twinning was observed at -196 C but not at 25 C.A large increase in ductility accompanied twinning.
