MOLYBDENUM AND MOLYBDENUM-BASE ALLOYS PART 1 HIGH-TEMPERATURE PROPERTIES OF A MOLYBDENUM-3 PER CENT THORIUM ALLOY PART 2. EVALUATION OF A COLUMBIUM-ZIRCONIUM-TITANIUM CLADDING ALLOY

摘要

The prime objective of this study was to obtain enough information to determine whether molybdenum-thorium alloys should be rejected as valueless or whether a full research program should be proposed. It was, therefore, deemed important to evaluate the molybdenum-thorium alloy by extensively comparing the new experimental data with published data on commercial molybdenum. Properties of unalloyed arc-cast molybdenum and of the arc-cast molybdenum-0.5 per cent titanium alloy** were used as bases for comparison. This alloy is one of the best which has been produced commercially and complete information is available concerning its properties.
