Abstract

This paper reviews the problems that have limited the applications of refractory metals and their alloys. It also presents examples from recent work that has been done to overcome these problems. The work discussed concerns the refractory metals niobium, tantalum, molybdenum, and tungsten and alloys based on these elements. Recent results on intermetallic compounds that contain a refractory metal and composites that are made of refractory metals and their intermetallics are also presented.
