This collection of papers is from the 1993 TMS annual Meeting held in Denver, Colorado, February 21-25, 1993. It provides a review of the development of refractory metal alloys (those based on vanadium, columbian, niobium, tantalum, molybdenum, tungsten and rhenium) from the 1950s to the present. The technology of many of the leading researchers in this area has been recorded and preserved as a reference for current and future researchers. Coverage includes: vanadium alloy development, columbium alloy development at Westinghouse, evolution of tantalum alloy development, the history of development of molybdenum alloys for structural applications, a history of tungsten and molybdenum-based alloys and rhenium - a unique rare metal.
