Oxidation Behavior of W-Ta Alloys

High Temperature Erosion- Oxidation Behavior of Nickel- Based Alloys Containing Mo in Fluidized Bed Waste Incineration

High-temperature erosion-oxidation behavior of nickel-based alloys containing 0-7 wt.% Mo in fluidized bed waste incineration conditions was studied. A stream of hot condensed air with a flow rate of 25 L/min caused hot silica sand (700 °C) mixed with 0.5 wt.% of chloride salts to hit the specimens for 250 h. By removing the erosive factor, the high-temperature oxidation behavior of the alloys ...

First-principles calculation of phase equilibrium of V-Nb, V-Ta, and Nb-Ta alloys

In this paper, we report the calculated phase diagrams of V-Nb, V-Ta, and Nb-Ta alloys computed by combining the total energies of 40–50 configurations for each system (obtained using density functional theory) with the cluster expansion and Monte Carlo techniques. For V-Nb alloys, the phase diagram computed with conventional cluster expansion shows a miscibility gap with consolute temperature ...

DIRECT MEASUREMENT OF ISOTHERMAL FLOW STRESS OF METALS AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES AND HIGH STRAIN RATES WITH APPLICATION TO Ta AND Ta-W ALLOYS

A technique is developed for measuring the flow stress of metals over a broad range of strains, strain rates, and temperatures, in uniaxial compression. It utilizes a recent, enhanced version of the classical (Kolsky) compression split Hopkinson bar [l], in which a sample is subjected to a single stress pulse of a predefined profile, and then recovered without being subjected to any other addit...
