مروری بر جوشکاری و لحیم کاری گرم فلزات دیرگداز
نیوبیوم، تانتالیوم، مولیبدن و تنگستن
ABSTRACT
This review covers the present and future problems in the development and welding of niobium, tantalum, molybdenum and tungsten and their alloys. Their metallurgical characteristics are discussed together with the influence of impurities and alloying elements on mechanical properties, alloy development and weldability. Other factors briefly discussed are availability, high temperature strength, ductility and oxidation resistance.
