High-temperature strength of refractory metals, alloys and composite materials based on them. Part 2. Molybdenum and niobium alloys.

The results of investigations of the mechanical characteristics of molybdenum and niobium alloys and their welded joints, which are used in space-rocket hardware, have been generalized. The investigations were carried out under short-time, sustained static and low-cycle loading conditions on small time bases in a temperature range of 290-2270 K. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
