New glasses are used as protective coatings on metals and alloys susceptible to oxidation at high temperatures in oxidizing atmospheres. Glasses are stable and solid at temperatures up to 1000 deg C, adhere well to metal surfaces, and are usable for metals with broad range of expansion coefficients.
Test conditions and results are reported for various coatings on a 1 percent zirconium columbium alloy at a temperature of 2000 deg F. Molybdenum silicide over molybdenum is most effective coating, tin-aluminum coating is adequately protective, chromium-molybdenum silicides are not protective.

Tensile and stress-rupture tests were conducted on wires of W-Hf-C, W-Re-Hf-C, ASTAR 811C (a tantalum alloy), and B-88 (a columbium alloy) at room temperature, 1093 C (2000 F), and 1204 C (2200 F). Metallographic examinations were also made of the wire microstructure after testing. Ultimate tensile strength values up to 2170 meganewtons per square meter (314000 psi) at 1093 C (2000 F) and 1940 meganewtons per square meter (281 000 psi) at 1204 C (2200 F) were obtained for W-Re-Hf-C wire. The best strength values obtained for a 100-hour rupture life were, 1410 meganewtons per square meter (205 000 psi) at 1093 C (2000 F) and 910 meganewtons per square meter (132 000 psi) at 1240 C (2200 F) for W-Re-Hf-C wire. The properties obtained suggested that the wires studied showed promise as potential fiber reinforcement in the 1093 to 1204 C (2000 to 2200 F) temperature range.
