E. M. SHERWOOD

LESS COMMON METALS FOR PROCESS EQUIPMENT A report on technology and applications of beryllium, chromium, molybdenum, niobium, rhenium, tantalum, tungsten, and Zirconium he 1963 review of less common metals pointed out Tthat potential benefits to the chemical process industries might result from the use of information developed in the intensive materials studies carried out by the aerospace industry. While some cross-fertilization has occurred, not much of the relevant but widely scattered data has actually been used. Although presentation of such data is beyond the scope of this review, reference is made to source material where much useful information can be obtained. Producers of the less common metals continued to strive for increasing purity of their products. Means of reaching this goal included purification of source materials by improved separation techniques and the production of high-purity chemical compounds containing the element sought. Vacuum metallurgical processing operations, employing electron-beam technology, received the widest attention for melting, refining, cutting, and joining less-common metals and their alloys. Fabrication of free-standing shapes by plasmaarc spraying, by electrolysis of fused salts, and by chemical vapor deposition was carried out. The latter two processes also hold promise as means of joining refractory metal components, but electron-beam welding holds the spotlight in this area at present. The battle against the attack of atmospheric gases at high temperatures was continued. While many local skirmishes were won, no turning point was passed and the campaign will continue into the foreseeable future. Application of fluidized-bed chemical vapor deposition to coat large shapes contributed to some of the progress in this area. For the first time, appreciable attention was given to the room-temperature corrosion of metals other than tantalum and zirconium. Now that the state of the fabrication art is so well developed, it behooves manufacturers and users of chemical process equipment to take a hard look a t more of the less common metals as materials of construction in their plant equipment.

Publications dealing with the metals as a group were quite numerous. T h e current status and trends in the development of refractory metals as engineering materials were described (20,25, 58, 76). The greater portion of a volume devoted to high-temperature materials (6) dealt with the refractory metals, their alloys, and their compounds with B, N, and Si. The availability, properties, and fabrication of refractory metal alloys in sheet form were reviewed (99). Russian scientists held a seminar covering extraction methods,

physical properties, and electronic structure of refractory metals, compounds, and alloys (73). Two U. S . technical societies sponsored an international conference on electron- and ion-beam science and technology (%), with special emphasis on the processing and joining of refractory metals. The effects of fabrication history and microstructure on the mechanical properties of refractory metals and alloys were evaluated (47, 49). Other reviews gave broad coverage to processing and properties, particularly in relation to performance a t high temperatures under oxidizing conditions (76, 707). Methods of extracting (50, 7 0 4 , refining by halide reduction (705, 706),and consolidating by powder metallurgy techniques (8, 63) were reviewed. Vacuum metallurgy continues to be an important processing technique for the less common metals (27,83). Vacuum melting, refining, and casting operations, particularly those based on electron-beam technology, are playing a role of increasing importance (4, 5, 9, 74, 46, 67, 84, 87). Significant advances were made in working and shaping refractory metals to meet the need for large structural TABLE I I . Category 1 2 3 6 8 9 10 11 13 14

members of complex shape and thin section in aerospace applications (77, 24, 62, 64, 77, 9 6 ) . Extrusion affords a means of quickly securing material having satisfactory microstructure and useful shape (26, 52, 66, 72). Other mechanical forming processes reviewed included high-energy-rate methods (75), forging (65), and the rolling of sheet (82) and foil (57). Electroforming and electrocladding also received attention (43). Machining and cutting by conventional methods have become routine industrial operations for some metals for which they formerly were avoided if possible (72, 42, 97, 707, 708). Electron beams (70, 7 4 , lasers (73), and chemical processes (59, 60) also are being widely used as methods of metal removal. Joining methods probably received more attention than any other processing technique. While some consideration was given to adhesive bonding (80), foil joining (702),

and brazing (57, 88),welding studies and applications (7, 75, 55, 56, 88-90, 92-94, 98) dominated the field. Welding by electron beam (78, 37, 45, 54, 67), laser (37), and ultrasonic energy ( 7 , 2) was further explored. Reviews on structure and properties contained much useful design information (79, 22, 27, 33, 38, 39, 47, 44, 48, 69, 77, 79). Articles were published dealing with the following specific properties : thermal expansion ( 3 ) , spectral emittance ( I I ) , electrical resistivity ( B ) , creep (86), corrosion by liquid tin (47), and oxidation ( I O ) . Much effort still is being devoted to the development of protective coating systems for the more refractory less common metals (Mo, Nb, Ta, W), primarily for protection against high-temperature oxidation (20, 30, 32, 34-36, 40, 703). Electrophoretic processes were successfully employed to deposit coatings of refractory metals on less-refractory substrates (68). Applications of the less-common metals in various alloy systems for special end uses were reviewed in detail (53, 78, 87, 85, 91,95, 700). Owing to the large amount of relevant new information which has come to this reviewer’s attention during the past year, it is not possible a t this time to present detailed discussions concerning individual metals, as has been done in the past. Rather, the references to various aspects of the technology for each of the metals considered are presented in tabular form, using a n overall category listing which was found helpful in compiling the information for this and earlier reviews. These categories are defined in Table I. Although less definitive, such a listing provides the reader with a maximum of source material. It is hoped that the readers of this review will find the tabulation useful. BIBLIOGRAPHY General (1) Aeroprojects, Inc., “Investigation of Ultrasonic Weldin of Metals and Alloys,” Bimonthly Progr.
