Abstract
In many proposed applications, such as high-altitude flight and atmospheric re-entry, components are subjected to high temperatures in air at pressures less than atmospheric. Thus, the oxidation behavior of tungsten in air at pressures from 1 to 40 mm Hg and temperatures from 1300° to 3000°C was studied; the results are summarized in this paper.
