Refractory metals and their alloys are considered a versatile group of high temperature resistant materials. Promising design approaches to extend their application range include the modification of both existing commercial materials, but also novel alloys that are still at earlier stages of development. Additionally, rapid solidification processes offer interesting possibilities in this respect. In this presentation, selected research activities in this combined area will be discussed and possible approaches for further research will be presented, while the focus is on nano-oxide composites and titanium-based alloys.
