A mechanism is established by which interstitial impurity content increases the high-temperature strength of niobium. A Type 2 niobium sheet material (ASTM B393-18) was mechanically tested in tension from 1473 K to 1773 K (1200 °C to 1500 °C) at constant true strain rates of 10−3and 10−4s−1. This material is compared to a Type 1 niobium with lower interstitial impurity levels. The microstructures of both materials are characterized using backscatter electron imaging (BSE) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The deformation of both materials at these temperatures is dominated by five-power creep and the associated development of subgrains that control strength. Compared to the Type 1 material, the higher interstitial impurity content of the Type 2 niobium produces: 1. higher strength at elevated temperatures, 2. delayed recrystallization, 3. slower grain growth, 4. more inhomogeneous microstructures, and 5. slower recovery that produces smaller subgrains. These result from the fine dispersoids expected from interstitial impurities in the Type 2 niobium, with carbon identified as the most important interstitial element. The finer subgrain size of the Type 2 niobium produces, through five-power creep, a higher strength than the Type 1 niobium at these high temperatures.
