Abstract
The present invention relates to Nb-based refractory alloys that are less expensive and less dense than current Nb-based refractory alloys, have better ductility than current Nb-based refractory alloys, yet which have similar or better high temperature strengths and oxidation resistance when compared to current Nb-based refractory alloys. Such Nb-based refractory alloys typically continue to be compatible with current coating systems for Nb-based refractory alloys. Such Nb-based refractory alloys are disclosed herein.
