Abstract
Experiments have been carried out to determine the relationship between the properties of tantalum powder and its compressibility, and to examine the effect of carbon and niobium on the hardness and tensile and electrical properties of semi-manufactured products of tantalum. The influence of the particle-size distribution of niobium powder upon the properties of sintered bars has also been studied, with particular reference to the problem of swelling of the bars during sintering.
