Columbus, OH: Battelle Memorial Institute, 1962. Contemporary reproduction [not Xerox-style]. Comb binding. xvii, 246, [4] plus covers. Clear plastic sheet over front cover. Figures. References. Tables. Appendices. This work provides an Introduction, Summary, Background Information, Experimental Procedures, Alloy Selection, Melting, Physical-Property Studies, Mechanical-Property Studies, Welding Studies. Metallurgical Studies, Oxidation Behavior, Discussion, Conclusion and Appendices on Alloy Selection, Melting Data, Low-Temperature Ductility, Tensile Data for Ta-Mo, Ta-W, and Ta-Mo-W alloys, Stress-Rupture Data, and Weld-Bend Ductility. Abstract: Fabrication results, bend ductility, tensile properties at low and high temperature, High-temperature stress-rupture data, welding studies, metallurgical studies (both recrystalization behavior and heat treatment), and oxidation behavior of tantalum and tantalum-base alloys are presented. Several tantalum-base alloys were found to have outstanding strength properties at temperatures to 1925 C (3500 F), combined in many cases with excellent room-temperature ductility. Particularly outstanding in this respect are alloys in the system Ta-Mo-W. This copy may have been made using a Kodak verifax, which was a photo copying approach that uses a wet colloidal diffusion transfer technique. The light source is projected to the top crossing the negative being reflected -more or less, according to the color- against the original to be copied exposing the negative. Has a base that contains the recipient with the liquid developer and the exposure timer. The method was commonplace until the late 1960s, when it was surpassed by the Xerox copies. More
