Transition metal-based materials for use in high temperature and corrosive environments

Abstract

A material (e.g., an alloy) comprises molybdenum, rhenium, and at least one element selected from the group consisting of tellurium, iodine, selenium, chromium, nickel, copper, titanium, zirconium, tungsten, vanadium, and niobium. Methods of forming the material (e.g., the alloy) comprise mixing molybdenum powder, rhenium powder, and a powder comprising at least one element selected from the group consisting of tellurium, iodine, selenium, chromium, nickel, copper, titanium, zirconium, tungsten, vanadium, and niobium. The mixed powders may be coalesced to form the material (e.g., the alloy).
