Abstract:

High-vanadium and V-60 wt- Nb base alloys containing refractory metal and interstitial additions were fabricated by hot and cold rolling techniques. All compositions were rendered to 0.050-in. sheet except those containing Mo or more than 0.13 wt- combined O and N. Tensile results at 2400 F showed that V-20 wt- Nb base materials had ultimate tensile strength values in the 8,000 to 10,000 psi range, whereas V-60 wt- Nb base alloys had strengths of 12,000 to 19,000 psi. Additions of 0.05 wt- O or 0.03 wt- each of O and N produced large strength increases in the V-60 wt- Nb base. A 100-lb ingot of V-1Ti-60 Nb was melted by Oregon Metallurgical Corporation and shipped to E. I. du Pont for extrusion and subsequent fabrication into bar, plate, and sheet for more detailed property evaluations. Author
