Conclusions
From comparison of the strength characteristics of the Rh-Re alloy and pyrolytic tungsten in vacuum at elevated temperatures it can be seen that the alloy of rhodium with 18% Re is less susceptible to softening and more highly resistant to creep at relatively high stresses and temperatures around 1000°C.
