Structural changes in columbium alloy in creep tests in vacuo

Creep of Nb-base alloys with Zr, Mo, or W additions was studied at 1100/sup 0/C in vacuum. It was found that Nb alloy containing zirconium becomes saturated with oxygen in creep tests at a vacuum of 4 x 10/sup -5/ mm Hg at 1100/sup 0/C, leading to evolution of zirconium oxides on the grain boundarie...

Zusammenfassung:Creep of Nb-base alloys with Zr, Mo, or W additions was studied at 1100/sup 0/C in vacuum. It was found that Nb alloy containing zirconium becomes saturated with oxygen in creep tests at a vacuum of 4 x 10/sup -5/ mm Hg at 1100/sup 0/C, leading to evolution of zirconium oxides on the grain boundaries. Resistance to creep increases in these circumstances. When Nb alloy is saturated with oxygen, the main body of metal loses zirconium as a result of its diffusion to the test-piece surface. The diffusion coefficient of oxygen in Nb as a result of interaction with the residual atmosphere in the vacuum chamber (P = 4 x 10/sup -5/ mm Hg, t = 1100/sup 0/C) at an applied stress of 4 to 10 kgf/mm/sup 2/ was 1.12 x 10/sup -6/ cm/sup 2/.
