Dispersion-Strengthened Metal Structural Development 680641
A summary is presented of the work conducted during the first 18 months of a 36 month research program to investigate the structural utilization of oxidation-resistant dispersion-strengthened (DS) metals. Dispersion-strengthened metals having the potential for structural use in an uncoated form at temperatures up to 2400 F had previously been developed in material research programs, and the current program was initiated to investigate their use in structures that will experience repeated service at elevated temperatures.
