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 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.
The effects of boron additions on the physical and mechanical properties of arc-melted tungsten and a tungsten -1 percent tantalum alloy were investigated. Boron additions significantly refined the arc-melted grain size of tungsten. The 1-hour recrystallization temperature was initially increased by small boron additions (approx. 0.01 atomic percent boron), after which it decreased continuously with increasing boron content. High-temperature tensile tests showed that the boron additions produced an initial rapid rise in strength followed by a leveling off of the strength-composition curve. Boron in solid solution was postulated to be the cause of the rapid increase in strength.
