In the pursuit of materials inherently capable of operating at temperatures above
approximately 1000 °C (or approximately 2000 °F), for the numerous and critical
applications which are found in aerospace equipment and vehicles to an ever increasing
degree, the materials community in NATO has quite generally turned to the four
refractory metals: niobium, molybdenum, tantalum and tungsten, and their alloys.
Thus it developed that this volume was prepared containing physical, mechanical,
chemical, metallurgical, fabrication and miscellaneous data for the above-mentioned
refractory metals and their alloys.
