Conclusions
-
1.
Chemicothermal treatment markedly increases high-temperature strength characteristics, but ductility is reduced.
-
2.
The level of vacuum has a marked effect on creep and stress-rupture strength characteristics for niobium alloys not subjected to CTT.
-
3.
Creep and stress-rupture strength characteristics of niobium alloys subjected to CTT in high and ultrahigh vacuum practically coincide.
