• Nb7.5Ta, a candidate refractory material for use in the hydro-iodic acid decomposition process has been tested for valuation of its tensile properties and corrosion resistance.
• The characterization of the tensile specimens by transmission electron microscopy showed somewhat higher dislocation density at 300 C that could be the result of the dynamic strain aging effect. Corrosion studies under a slow strain rate condition in an acidic solution exhibited enhanced cracking tendency at 90 C, suggesting a detrimental effect of higher temperature on the cracking susceptibility
